The traditional startup playbook is running out of steam—maybe it's time to rethink the whole game. Instead of chasing VC funding and hitting those same tired metrics, what if builders just started collaborating directly? Skip the corporate structure. Build cool stuff together, keep it transparent, let the community own a piece of the action. That's how Web3 projects are reshaping innovation. Less hierarchies, more coordination. Less extraction, more shared value. The future probably looks less like a startup and more like an open network where talented people just... build.
