Empowering Equity in Web3

Our mission is to increase the participation in Web3 of people traditionally underrepresented in technology through educating, amplifying activities and projects, and promoting policies that create more diverse and inclusive activities in the blockchain. Our vision is a diverse, equitable, and inclusive Web3 ecosystem where people from all backgrounds have access to the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to build decentralized technologies and participate fully in shaping the future of the internet.

Partnerships

We identify and provide support to Web3 projects, protocols, and companies founded by members of underrepresented communities to initiate collaborative partnerships supporting business development for autonomy, growth, and social good.

Education

We foster connections and mentor relationships at key conferences and events while providing scholarships and creating partnerships with established Web3 organizations addressing the educational and onboarding needs of underrepresented populations.

Policy Advocacy

We enable Web3 innovation by advocating for regulatory clarity with a focus on ensuring that the underrepresented and underserved people in our communities have a voice as these technologies develop.

Event Sponsorship

As part of our education focus area, Storj Institute funds a few select events in the Web3 space with a focus on supporting our mission of accelerating the growth and education of underrepresented people in technology in the Web3 space.
