Investment Apprenticeship

"My time with SunDAO provided an invaluable deep dive into the structure of Web3 venture capital. I significantly sharpened my skills in lead prospecting and gained a clear understanding of what angel investors look for in this space. It was a privilege to be part of an early-stage team building an innovative ecosystem for deal sourcing and angel investment."

"Being part of SunDAO gave me a real perspective on how decentralized venture communities operate. Seeing how investors, builders and operators collectively analyze early-stage opportunities was especially insightful. The experience helped me better understand how deal flow, founder conversations and early-stage evaluation work in the Web3 ecosystem."

"I have learned many things over the last 3 months in the program, both soft skills - interpersonal relationships with customers and colleagues - and hard skills such as doing proper research and analysis. One very good takeaway was to treat others with kindness all the time. Partnership is not a one-way relationship, it must be give and take and must be fair for both parties."

"Joining the SunDAO Ventures team had a direct impact on my growth as a marketing professional in Web3. Through hands-on work in digital marketing, content strategy, events, and analytics, I gained practical experience building and engaging decentralized communities. SunDAO provided real responsibility, mentorship, and exposure to the Web3 ecosystem, helping me develop the skills and confidence to grow my career."

"I participated in the SunDAO Venture Career Accelerator program and followed the guidance of mentors to take part in many live and real marketing cases involving localisation, social media operation, promotion platform selection, promotion content, and B2B cooperation matchmaking."

"The most interesting project I worked on during this program was building SunDAO Intelligence - a full-stack internal platform for the SunDAO team to manage startup members, track matches, and deliver intelligence to founders. What made it stand out was that it was the first project I had ever taken from zero to one in a real commercial context. It wasn't a tutorial or a side project - it was something that people would actually use to run part of their business, and that sense of responsibility changed how I approached every decision."

"Over the past 3 months at SunDAO, I’ve worked on improving website structure, SEO and systems integrations. I’ve been trusted to build features that are actively used by other team members, which makes the experience very meaningful. The program pushed me to think more critically, improve my technical skills and communication skills, and approach new problems with a different mindset. Working in a real, fast-paced environment has been challenging and rewarding and has definitely helped me grow."
