Funding open, decentralized projects reinventing how people collaborate, govern, and innovate together.
The ODIN Fund for Decentralized Innovation supports creators building the next generation of open, self-managed communities and innovation networks. We believe the world’s hardest problems will be solved by decentralized groups that share knowledge, distribute power, and collaborate across boundaries. This fund backs open-source tools, playbooks, and experiments that help communities coordinate effectively, build trust, and scale innovation through shared ownership and evolutionary organizational practices.
