Orange DAO

Born out of the Y Combinator community, Orange DAO grew from a shared understanding among experienced founders: building a crypto company calls for more than capital alone. Founders also need practical guidance, trusted connections, and people who understand the distinctive challenges of the Web3 ecosystem. Orange DAO brings those resources together in a community built to help new and aspiring crypto founders.

Today, Orange DAO describes itself as a community of more than 1,300 crypto founders and supports early-stage teams through its Orange Fellowship. The 12-week program combines investment with founder-led mentorship, help with product-market fit and go-to-market strategy, fundraising preparation, and a Demo Day for investors. Eligible members include Fellowship graduates, founders of startups accepted into Y Combinator, and other authorized invitees. Through this network and program, Orange DAO aims to help founders turn ideas into crypto and blockchain ventures.
