  Challenge brief

Building on blockchain has never been more attractive for start-up founders. In 2021 alone the funding for blockchain start-ups soared eightfold in comparison to 2020. Our goal is for Cardano to position itself as the no. 1 blockchain of choice for start-ups to build on, to attract highly-skilled developers and business professionals so that more innovative ideas and business models can grow in the Cardano ecosystem. How can we ensure that the global start-up community is aware of possibilities on Cardano with so many well known, well-established and growing blockchains?
