Cultur3 Stake's Founding Story

Cultur3 Stake was founded by Rolf Hoefer and two anons wanting to build a better internet where people come first. Being the only public person, here's Rolf's relevant background: Rolf started in blockchain with his PhD in Organizational Theory at INSEAD in 2011, where his dissertation focused on tokens and organizations. Today, Rolf is a core contributor to MetaCartel Ventures DAO, a partner at a VC firm called Cultur3 Capital, and a co-founder at an educational institute called 100X. Rolf has been involved in many NFT, DeFi, and Public Goods DAOs, including Public Nouns, Rarible, Cream, and Metagov. He is writing a book on DAOs, following up on his co-authored book NFT Revolution that sold over 100,000 copies in South Korea. He frequently speaks about DAOs, NFTs, and Web3, most recently at Stanford, Harvard, and KAIST.
