In episode 111, we’re excited to welcome René Pinnell, Co-Founder of Artizen Fund, a movement using Web3 tools to unlock human creativity by reinventing how we fund art, science, technology, and design. We discuss the challenges with getting funding for human creativity and how Web3 can address this, Artizen’s innovative artifact fundraising process, how blockchain can help eliminate bureaucracy and put power in the hands of communities, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

Human creativity, and especially the arts, is chronically underfunded despite being core to human civilization, with creatives often having to spend substantially more time seeking out funding than engaging in creative work.
Web3 enables innovative ways that didn’t exist before to organize the community and raise funds. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and other blockchain tools are democratizing crowdfunding by ensuring projects with the most widespread public support receive the funding they deserve while giving individuals new ways to support causes they care about.
Crypto allows organizations and causes to cut out intermediaries such as payment processors who not only take a cut of all transactions, but who also have the ability to deplatform and shut down movements.
