TL;DR

From August 2022 to December 2022, we focus on proofing the concepts of our ultimate design. We created 3 events to test out the hypotheses for our product vision (link to our product vision).

Season 1 is for early believers and angel investors.

The 3 validation events include:

1. India Banjara Community Donation Project
2. Kaohsiung Teenage Mom Education Project
3. The EDGE Learn-to-Earn Bootcamp

What is happening in Season 1?

"Measure Twice, cut once."

In Season 1 - Proof of Concept, we test out our hypotheses with 3 validation events, each with its own goals and metrics. We partner with shelters, foundations and other web3 tech providers to make sure we “measure” (validation) before actually spending tons and tons of resources of “cut” (building product).

Our goals for Season 1 are to:

1. Sufficiently test out the hypotheses, by running the mechanism without protocol.
2. Get real feedback from real users, with our minimum, minimum viable product (link to MVP page).
3. Build a community (link to community building methodology) committed to the long-term success of the project.
