Last week, one of RnDAO's core teams, Roso, gave a talk about Swarms and the work of RnDAO at AthensDAO.
The talk focused on RnDAOβs revolutionary approach to building and scaling startups through "Swarms"βnetworks of interdependent startups that share resources, opportunities, and ownership to create a collaborative ecosystem. By leveraging shared benefits such as faster time-to-market, built-in customer networks, reduced-risk growth, and flexible exit strategies, Swarms empower entrepreneurs to innovate without sacrificing autonomy.
The presentation also explored the role of AI and the mindset shift from competition to collaboration, highlighting how Swarms are transforming industries and offering a new model for value creation in the Web3 era.
