There are two ways to make money as Internet companies: bundle or unbundle.

In this issue, we will examine how Web3 unbundles the Internet, i.e.

(1) Blockchain provides access to Silicon Valley:

The unbundling of Silicon Valley is leading to the emergence of decentralized entities that specialize in specific innovation culture, providing access to investors, advisors, funding, talents, and experts.
As a result, founders and investors no longer need to be physically located within the Silicon Valley geographic boundaries to benefit from the region’s innovation and creativity.
Alpha Venture DAO is a Web 3 incubator that provides builders with strategic and tactical advice.
Stacker Ventures is a community-owned venture capital protocol and accelerator.
Decent Labs is a decentralized venture studio offering founders the tools they need to launch, scale, and succeed.
New Order is an incubator, accelerator, and builder community focusing on DeFi (decentralized finance) development.

(2) Creating the University alternatives:

Web3 is unbundling the university’s core functions into verticalized e-learning entities. The rise of web3 educational technology (EdTech) is now reshaping how we upskill, learn, connect, socialize, and find new jobs in the metaverse.
Engineering school: Developer DAO provides Web3 development education.
Tech Bootcamp: HypeverseDAO is a place where web3 builders learn how to build dApps.
