## **How will we achieve a future of web3-powered social impact?**

We believe that one of the best investments in humanity is Gen Z (the builders of the future) and, within Gen Z, we believe the highest leverage opportunity to realize their potential is to teach them how to leverage the most powerful emerging technology: web3.

We consider web3’s ability to impact the world positively depends on the web3 builder community collectively looking a lot more like how the world looks and is more driven by social impact purpose.

Dream DAO is a key driver in helping make this a reality.

Members of the Dream DAO will go on to build world-changing DAOs, create web3 x social impact projects that make unprecedented progress on entrenched social issues, and become moral and tech-savvy leaders of their respective industries. We owe it to our progeny to leave the world better than we found it. A web3 native institution that produces web3-powered civic superheroes is a public good if we've ever seen one.
