COLDS Collective
About the Company
COLDS Collective is a digital-native organization that aims to accelerate the education, development, and adoption of emerging technologies in Africa. COLDS Collective operates with an ethos of creating sustainable real-world impact by leveraging technological solutions. Connecting bits (technology) to atoms (real-life).
Our solution is founded on three crucial pillars: Education, Incubation, and Experience. Our approach involves the following initiatives to address the persistent disparities in education and economic opportunities for Black and African individuals in emerging technologies:
- Education and Upskilling: We are dedicated to providing comprehensive technical education and incubation opportunities to Black and African individuals. This includes individuals involved in building, artistry, usage, contribution, and other aspects of emerging technologies. We aim to equip them with the necessary skills and resources to participate and succeed in this rapidly evolving industry.
- Earning Opportunities: We provide alternative livelihoods through sustainable work opportunities. We use a bounty-led contribution system to break down tasks and empower autonomous work through our DAO structure. Individuals can participate at their own pace, building reputation, skill, XP, and earning in crypto.
- Market Entry Strategy: We understand the unique challenges organizations face when entering new markets, especially high-potential, growth-oriented emerging and frontier markets like Africa. We design and execute end-to-end go-to-market (GTM) plans that are culturally resonant and effective in engaging the global majority. Our approach leverages the power of our distributed community and decentralized technology to execute successful partnerships and initiatives. We are confident that our approach will provide organizations with the right foundation to create value, build communities, and succeed in these markets.
