# My Next Move

A few days ago, I made a bold decision. As you know, effective education and creating opportunities for people have always been important to me.

My next move will be dedicated to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our industry, training the next generation of women and student developers from Web2, to become onchain builders/founders.

**Same developer pool since 2022**
----------------------------------

Around 10,000 full-time developers for a $3T industry, 3x fewer developers than at Google. Do you see the problem? A lot of money is injected only into the same dev pool, while it’s not the best long-term strategy.

**Current challenges**

*   Current Web3 dev just farming hackathons and enjoying hacker houses
    
*   Not enough developers with a product vision, so don't end up founders
    
*   Newcomers and emerging devs can’t find any jobs as the hiring market is saturated and hyper-competitive
    
*   AI is coming and we have a shortage of this profile in the industry
    
*   Many Web2 junior developers looking for opportunities :)

**Onboarding with a lack of follow-up**
---------------------------------------

It's always a good thing to onboard people, but that's not enough. 80% of the job involves follow-up. Here is the typical journey of a Web2 dev in Web3:

1.  Choose to follow an online program with hundreds of people
    
2.  Be graduated
    
3.  Try exploring the ecosystem → **follow-up has to start here**
    
4.  Looking for opportunities but didn’t find anything
    
5.  Say bye and come back to Web2

**The Onchain Builder School is coming**
----------------------------------------

From this week, Lucila and I will launch the first **Onchain Builder School** with a **top funnel journey for minority developers** coming **from Web2**. Our first challenge will be to **onboard** AND **follow closely** over 500 women and/or students to become real builders, at least until EthCC. Everything for **free**, **online**, and with a **strong mentoring system**.

Can’t wait to launch this initiative, showcase the program, and how we are going to execute it. Hope this framework will be useful for the future.

I'm so back. See you at the launch this week 🎒
