* FOUND3R **galvanizes** the most **trusted** voices of Web3 to create safe spaces for stakeholders across all sectors to **convene, learn**, and promote **responsible** advancement of blockchain technology. Together, we aim to stabilize the emerging marketplace for all stakeholders.
* We bring together **decision-makers, industry practitioners** and **blockchain builders** for storytelling events and educational trainings to reshape the Web3 narrative in **DC** and **beyond**.

## Why We Care

Lack of voices fighting for the cause combined with toxic negativity, lack of common understanding, and the industry's disjointed messaging has resulted in regulatory uncertainty domestically and diminished American economic competitiveness internationally.

We want to create a world we can thrive in

***

## Vision

*We imagine a secure and accessible decentralized internet where America leads the global race for innovation.*

### How We Do It

* **Positive Use Cases Repeatedly**&#x20;

FOUND3R aims to be the voice of trustworthy leaders in the Web3 community by sharing their stories, which come from all walks of life, to bridge understanding with all stakeholder groups.

* **Culture of Learning**&#x20;

We level the technical playing-field by creating free, safe and nonjudgmental learning experiences for stakeholders in America's innovation hubs to learn about Web3 and rapidly emerging technologies.

* **Connecting Innovators and Decision-makers**

FOUND3R builds trust across sectors and industries to inspire collaboration, keep America safe and competitive, and future-proof regulatory frameworks.
