Today BlockchainBrad speaks with TheFoundry's Ian Friend about a new Community Driven DeFi Incubator set to change the game in sustained support that's community-inclusive! The old #crypto incubator model is flawed; it lacks fairness, it's too centralized, too closed, & lines the rich pockets of few. It's time to flip the crypto Incubator model on its head! The Foundry is bringing a new inclusive way to support startups for the long term. So, what is The Foundry? The Foundry is the first incubator to combine a decentralized fundraising model with legit educators, influencers, founders, exchanges, plus a suite of valuable DeFi technology to ensure a project’s success from pre-launch through scaling. By combining DuckDAO’s decentralized fundraising model with Ferrum Network’s DeFi technology, plus the strength of two strong crypto communities and a multi-year advisory structure, The Foundry is working hard to change the incubator game for the better, to be fairer! ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Timestamps: 0:06 Introduction of The Foundry by BCB 1:10: Ian's intro to TheFoundry and incubator models- explainer intro 1:38 Lack of longterm approach with old, outdated models 1:50 The Foundry; focus on utility, partnered with Ferrum and Duck DAO to uplift the space. 3:11 Differentiated with DeFi.
