OUR PURPOSE

PUTTING FOUNDERS
FIRST
ALWAYS

The future will be created through unrelenting vision and bold action. We believe founders are the ones who have what it takes, and – as founders ourselves – we understand the intensity, the mania, and the adversities they face. We put their needs ahead of everything else to get them where they’re going, and make their success inevitable.

OUR VISION

We’re
creating a networked ecosystem

In a world where founders, customers, and capital are collapsing into each other, the opportunity for a more successful and virtuous startup building mode is becoming more participant-focused.

The birth of a new internet – open, fair, interoperable, and owned and operated by its users – needs more than one founder. More than one person’s wisdom. More than one person’s capital.

That’s why we’re building a Networked ecosystem of participant-contributors, so that every founder builds with the network they need. This will enable growth of web3 founders, powered by mentors, investors and hive-mind of the community. With everyone in the mix, the hive-mind of technology’s greatest talents, the impossible can become the inevitable.

OUR MISSION

The Three C’s. Empowering founders through capital, connections, & community.

Tachyon comes together as founders to help even more founders come together – with other builders taking on the same challenges, the pioneers who’ve forged the path, and the investors ready to back the adventure. We know that nobody can do it alone, and we leverage the strength of our community to accelerate the future.
