There is a pressing need for exponential growth in the number of skilled devs who understand Disruptive Tech in the context of new business models, collaborative working, and community.
The effects of Cascading Disruptive Technologies (DisTech) - such as AI, Blockchain, Education (Edtech), Et Al, lead to the need for new operating models for businesses, organizations, and society.
According to AI and other DisTech OG’s, successful organizations will need to:
Exponential Tech Dev areas of expertise:
Edify and our Colab partners will train a cohort of New DisTech Developers using a community-centric approach, creating a controlled decentralized environment - an online, project-based learning and teaching community for New Builders in Web3, including AI and Blockchain, with a focus on providing training in different exponential technologies, organizational technologies, and community building & management.
Structure: A Cohort-based controlled decentralized environment
Mandatory courses that focus on how to use the opportunities provided by DisTechs to build and run their own effective team, business/org, Including:
Key focus:
Create a small Cohort-based, controlled decentralized environment to train new developers. The cohort ends with capstone projects that may become assets deployed to the SNET AI marketplace.
Unique, scalable approach:
The program will be delivered in a dynamic, controlled, and decentralized environment that integrates gamification, project-based learning (PBL), community performance, and collaborative problem-solving to foster future development.
Our team has successfully executed related projects through the DeepFunding program, establishing a roadmap for scaling decentralized AI and Web3 education. In DF2, we delivered a "Community-Based Mentorship" proposal (https://deepfunding.ai/proposal/community-based-mentorship/) that laid the groundwork for cultivating a collaborative learning environment.
Building on that, our DF3 project (https://deepfunding.ai/proposal/ai-enabled-full-value-audit-and-dashboard-for-sustainable-exponential-organisational-growth/) is developing an "AI-Enabled Full Value Audit and Dashboard" to guide organizations through exponential growth powered by disruptive technologies like AI.
In parallel with our SNET DF programmes we have also delivered a series of Cardano Catalyst funded projects:
All with the aim of completing our roadmap to 10x the number of Exponential Tech Devs available for delivering Web3 (AI and Blockchain), based solutions
This current proposal represents the next phase, creating a comprehensive training program that combines technical skills in AI, blockchain, IoT, etc. with principles for entrepreneurship and community-building. Leveraging our prior work, we aim to provide a full-stack education for a new cohort of Web3 developers primed to create impactful projects for the SNET AI marketplace and the broader ecosystem.
There are solutions available for each area of our proposal:
Deploying:
Using:
However, our program - with our top-ranking partners, is the first that we have found that encompasses all of these elements in one community especially when including our relationships with leading-edge tech providers - SNET and Catalyst, and PBL EDTech platform providers Andamio.

Great job. I would want to comment that while this is an awesome initiative, there could be challenges around ensuring scalability and sustainability of this decentralized learning and teaching environment over time. While the initial focus may be on training a cohort of New DisTech Developers, expanding and maintaining the platform to accommodate future growth and demand will require ongoing resources, both in terms of funding and community engagement.
Thx Gombilla, thx and great point, and one we are planning for. If you look at our roadmap - the basic version of which is on the miro board: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKFpwDYo=/?share_link_id=820859741634 This is a big initiative - and we are really just stewarding it for now - nurturing it until it gets embedded and it can grow to the next level.Overall, this is a Developing Nation-level programme. We have been building it for getting on two years already. The vision is for it to be driven by orgs with Community Hubs, in any Nation, but interacting at a State wide level within countries. This is why we have been so blessed to have Wada and Remostart as a partner for this pathfinder programme as they have the capability to deliver contacts on the ground in many cities and countries across Africa - from Universities to Recruitment hubs. And why the next phase includes using the Andamio PBL platform to scale our Community Learning focus, and our DF3 AI programme to scale Teacher delivery. It is also why as well as fantastic orgs like SNET DF, we will be talking to other EdTech focussed orgs Globally. In particular we would love to be able to open source the decentralised structure to orgs in other countries/continents - e.g Asia and South America. Thx again for your interest. Cheers H :)
Hi Harry, could you provide links to all of the Catalyst Funding Rounds? I tried to find these but could not.Also, I've noticed that you're still needing to complete DF3 "AI-Enabled Full Value Audit And Dashboard For Sustainable Exponential Organisational Growth", do you believe this will impact your ability to deliver?
hi Joey, thx for the questions:Link to projects completed, here you go: https://linktr.ee/edify_collabs This should be in the prop - but may not have made being loaded up, so thanks for bringing it to our attention. :)Regards our DF3 prop - It is not anticipated that there will be any impact on delivery. AI-enabled Audit is a sizable project, but is running over 9 months with 4 orgs involved- with Edify mainly adding content and co-ordinating.This DF4 prop is part of the same roadmap, and will also be a partnership between four organisations. However, most of the heavy lifting on community build and management will undertaken up by Wada, who have teams in several African countries - and Cities, and have themselves run over 30 funded projects. FYI it is an MVP expansion of two 'proof of concept', Catalyst F8 projects we ran with Wada. So we are confident on delivery outcomes and timescales. Cheers Harry
Thank you for sharing the linktree and the title accurate projects names, hard to validate credibility when you can't find the original source. I recommend updating the linktree's titles from 'compelted' to 'ongoing' for:1. F8 Inc. Train the Trainer Africa MVP 2. F8 Hub Support Services for Proposers I've rarely seen a team capable of delivering on multiple proposals, espically as you have more than 5 'ongoing' proposals. Moving forward, having direct links and transparency around previous proposals in any state, draft, submitted, onoging or completed will be helpful.
HI Joey, many thx for your diligence, it is appreciated. As a heads up though both Catalyst F8 projects are completed and closeouts done. Have a great week :) Cheers H

Overall
There is still a lot of friction between tech and administrative tasks. We need people to work together instead of against each other. Treasury Guild has taken value from Harry's programs in the past and I highly recommend this to any project or commmunity trying to build a collaborative environment.
The proposal trains developers in disruptive technologies for the decentralized AI ecosystem through a well-structured, intensive program with strong partner support. It focuses on practical, community-based learning and ends with capstone projects for the SNET AI marketplace. Using an open-source model and existing resources, it offers great value for money and aligns with SNET's mission, promising a positive impact.
This proposal will train a new cohort of DisTech Developers using a community-centric approach, creating a controlled decentralized environment - an online teaching and learning community , project-based for new Web3 Builders, covering AI and Blockchain, with a focus on providing training in exponential technologies, organizational technologies, and building and management community. This is a good and useful solution.
Having personally worked through the first few steps into AI development and battled solo through the new vocabulary and vast number of acronyms eg. tokens, temperature, sentiment, RAG, LLM having access to course material and education is crucial to shortening the time to productivity.I have benefitted from this teams content and approach in learning skills in other subjects and can only imagine the benefits would be repeated here. Technical skills combined with how to apply them for business growth are a powerful combination.Learning technical content alone has short shelf life in any growing industry, so developing skills and business acumen brings some longevity to the proposal.
In fact, the team's identification is correct: the AI and blockchain industry still needs many positive contributions from high-quality human resources to improve products and be a stepping stone for progress in the near future. The team was wise to develop a number of courses to train people from the ground up who could represent high-quality resources. It also increases the possibility of survival. I support this.
This project proposes a community-driven, decentralized learning environment to train developers in disruptive technologies like AI and blockchain. Here's a breakdown of its strengths and weaknesses:
Feasibility:
Viability:
Desirability:
Usefulness:
Additional Points:
Edify Colabs' developer training program has the potential to be valuable for both learners and the SNET ecosystem. However, careful consideration should be given to the effectiveness of the online-only, community-driven approach, the long-term financial sustainability, and the program's competitive advantage in the developer training landscape. A data-driven approach with pilot testing, feedback from participants, and evaluation of graduate outcomes can help refine the program and maximize its impact.
I would first start by syaing that the Edify Colab project has the potential to make a significant impact on the SNET AI community and beyond. By providing a scalable and decentralized learning environment focused on exponential technologies like AI and blockchain, this project can help bridge the skills gap and empower individuals to become proficient in these cutting-edge fields.
I would also advise that the proposing team should pay rapt attention to building and sustaining an engaged and active community, as this requires careful cultivation of shared values, clear communication channels, and incentives for participation. Thanks
1) FeasibilityTo summarize, the team planned to train 20 developers in AI who will be able to launch projects on the SingularityNet marketplace. After viewing the scheme of this proposal, I could say that the deploying plan is provided with a straightforward description with a logical training structure including intensive training and the SingularityNet marketplace onboarding. The content of the course will focus on DisTech utilization and the ExO Models with the participation of DisTech to reduce the complexity and concerning about the ecosystem. The idea to build a decentralized environment to support the online learning is completely feasible as this type of learning has been building and developing strongly since the Covid 19
2) ViabilityThe project owner's profile is provided with sufficient information including his LinkedIn profile as well as a brief summary about his career. Besides that, the team has successfully received funds from the Cardano Catalyst in 6 proposals which focusing on building the developers training and tools. IN addition, in the DeepFunding ecosystem, they have already received funds in the DFR3 which somehow could prove their capability to run this proposal in the future. There is one thing which I expect the team to include in the proposal which is the other team members profile link which I could not see in the proposal, therefore, I could not know and understand much about their expertise and experience in the past. The budget required to run this proposal seem to be enough for particular milestone to be executed. The total budget is break down into 11 milestones and each of the milestone will deliver some pieces of the course development which could finally placed together to build the learning community. As the team break the planning into smaller part, they have shown a strong commitment with the SingularityNet and DeepFunding platform and also the funds provided by the funds funded from the DeepFunding.
3) DesirabilityAs the team has already stated in the answer, there is still a high demands of skilled developers to contribute values to the AI and blockchain industry. Also, from the markets, I could see that there is many developers who are looking for a job in blockchain and AI industry, and some courses like this one might be the solution. The solution from this proposal will be outstanding from the other courses as they bring the ExO business models in the project as well as the gamification system to encourage learners during the studying time.
4) UsefulnessAs this is an educational project which aim to bring more skillfull developers joining and start building the projects on the SingularityNet AI marketplace, this could facilitate the growth of the AI decentralized marketplace on blockchain. In other words, the team could be able to increase the numbers of developers as well as build a decentralized Learning and Teaching environment to bring knowledge about blockhain and AI for the developers community. With a detailed development roadmap, the team has shown their long term contribution to the ecosystem in the years after.
Reviews and Ratings in Deep Funding are structured in 4 categories. This will ensure that the reviewer takes all these perspectives into account in their assessment and it will make it easier to compare different projects on their strengths and weaknesses.
Overall (Primary) This is an average of the 4 perspectives. At the start of this new process, we are assigning an equal weight to all categories, but over time we might change this and make some categories more important than others in the overall score. (This may even be done retroactively). Feasibility (secondary)
This represents the user's assessment of whether the proposed project is theoretically possible and if it is deemed feasible. E.g. A proposal for nuclear fission might be theoretically possible, but it doesn’t look very feasible in the context of Deep Funding.
Viability (secondary)
This category is somewhat similar to Feasibility, but it interprets the feasibility against factors such as the size and experience of the team, the budget requested, and the estimated timelines. We could frame this as: “What is your level of confidence that this team will be able to complete this project and its milestones in a reasonable time, and successfully deploy it?” Examples:
Desirability (secondary)
Even if the project team succeeds in creating a product, there is the question of market fit. Is this a project that fulfills an actual need? Is there a lot of competition already? Are the USPs of the project sufficient to make a difference?
Example:
Usefulness (secondary)
This is a crucial category that aligns with the main goal of the Deep Funding program. The question to be asked here is: “To what extent will this proposal help to grow the Decentralized AI Platform?”
For proposals that develop or utilize an AI service on the platform, the question could be “How many API calls do we expect it to generate” (and how important / high-valued are these calls?). For a marketing proposal, the question could be “How large and well-aligned is the target audience?” Another question is related to how the budget is spent. Are the funds mainly used for value creation for the platform or on other things? Examples:
This represents the user\'s assessment of whether the proposed project is theoretically possible and if it is deemed feasible. E.g. A proposal for nuclear fission might be theoretically possible, but it doesn’t look very feasible in the context of Deep Funding.
