About

FWB is a global ecosystem of culturalists, creators and builders with a shared vision for a better internet. We believe the creative technologists building, designing and theorizing cultural and creative applications of emerging technologies are the most valuable visionaries in our increasingly speculative future.

With 5,500+ global members, we produce partner campaigns, experiential member programming and an annual emerging tech and music festival, FWB FEST.

Our community has evolved from an experiment in decentralized collaboration to a global ecosystem that spans digital and physical spaces. Our milestones include:

• In 2021, we pioneered new territory for DAOs when we closed our round from the leading crypto venture firms.
• In 2022, we threw our inaugural FWB FEST, bringing all our internet friends together in Idyllwild, CA and launched our Event Keys program which has facilitated 250+ member led decentralized events around the world in over 40 countries.
• In 2023, we set the stage for the next phase of DAOs through forming the novel Unincorporated Nonprofit Association around our 5,500+ FWB members.
• In 2024, we spun-out our product studio–Scene Infrastructure Company–making us one of the first DAOs to own a significant stake in a technology company.
• In 2025, we’re supporting the rapid growth of our ecosystem in developing cultural applications of emerging technologies through World Build, bringing FWB FEST to life for the fourth time, and migrating our token to Base.
