What Is RaidGuild Cohort?
RaidGuild Cohort is a 4-week builder program designed to onboard and activate high-agency Web3 contributors inside a live DAO ecosystem.
Participants:
- Learn DAO-native collaboration
- Build real projects
- Ship demos on Demo Day
- Integrate directly into RaidGuild or the broader ecosystem
Cohort is not a course. It is a launchpad for builders into production teams.
How It Works (4-Week Format)
Week 1 - Activation
- Live kickoff (virtual)
- Tooling onboarding
- Tech deep dives (sponsor workshop opportunity)
- Team formation
Weeks 2-3 - Builder Sprint
- Project building
- Async mentorship
- Brown bags + office hours
- Sponsor office hours optional
Week 4 - Demo Day
- Live demo showcase
- Sponsor feedback
- Recruitment surface area
- Follow-on conversations
Why Sponsors Care
Cohort is a lightweight, high-signal way to:
- Build early relationships with motivated builders
- Educate contributors on your stack
- Prototype integrations
- Identify future contractors or teams
- Seed long-term ecosystem alignment
It is lower friction than a hackathon, but more meaningful than logo placement.
What Makes It Different
| Hackathon | Cohort |
|---|---|
| Short-term prize chase | 4-week engagement |
| Bounty-driven | Community-driven |
| Transactional | Relationship-based |
| Output-focused | Ecosystem-building |
Cohort creates durable alignment, not just submissions.
