Become a Sponsor

We invite organizations, institutions, companies, NGOs, and brands to become official Sponsors of the DAO Experimentation Program (DEP) Cohort 2.

Sponsorship enables DAOs to run meaningful activities across creativity, culture, peer learning, green living, and regenerative community development - while giving sponsors visibility, impact, and a role in empowering youth-driven innovation.

1. Why Sponsor DEP?

DEP brings together global and local participants to co-create projects in:

• Cultural & Creative expression
• Peer-to-peer Skill & Knowledge Exchange
• Local Green Economy activities
• Regenerative Tokenomics
• Participant-Proposed social impact initiatives

Your sponsorship helps DAOs achieve:

• Impact Goals (creative outcomes, learning sessions, green initiatives)
• Regeneration Goals (bringing real value into the ecosystem)
• Community engagement
• Cross-cultural exchange
• Innovation & pilot activities

In return, sponsors receive recognition across DEP 2 communication channels and events.
