Decentralization initiative
Private, secure, community-owned infrastructure
The Dojo has supported decentralization and open-source work focused on privacy, security, and a free and safe internet.
Consequential work
The Dojo is drawn to companies with real stakes in the world.
The Dojo's work spans decentralization, advocacy, legal access, education, and projects with a clear public benefit. These initiatives reflect a preference for founders who care about both strong execution and meaningful outcomes.
What we care about
