about us

Dapper Collectives is on a mission to make DAOs mainstream. After years of creating for a community of fans, we know the challenges communities and creators face and the opportunities that Web3 presents. Our vision is a world where value flows to the people that create it, so we’re building a full suite of tooling to serve the needs of DAOs.

Our DAO toolkit is built for creators large and small. From established fandoms to Web2 companies looking to innovate, from artists to teams - we’re ready to introduce them to the opportunities that Web3 and decentralization offer.

Creators can use any or all of the “DAO legos” to enable their fans, communities or collectives to coordinate, participate, connect and be rewarded in new ways. The linchpin of our relationship with those partners will be a strategic, detail oriented person to lead Partnership Success.
