The ownership economy cohort guide

The Introduction to the Ownership Economy program is a course that explores the creator economy and its place in the digital future that is Web3. Designed primarily for creators and creator-focused companies, it offers both a philosophical look at how the mindset around exploring individual passions and creativity have shifted, as well as a practical look at how we can best live full lives as creators, especially in today’s uncertain and highly capitalistic economy.

In this program, you’ll learn how and why being a creator can be lucrative and why it should no longer be only for certain individuals or organizations. The course also highlights the impact that integrating Web3 tools and concepts can have in the lives of creators and how creators can begin to take advantage of them.

Faces of Web3 offers new insights and tools for creators to own their means of creation. We’re also building a community that supports creators, shares opportunities, and encourages creativity. It is our mission to help creators learn about Web3, understand its relevance to creators today, and decide on whether to remain a Web2 creator or to move into Web3.
