We are delighted to announce the KH Accelerator!

We want to share our experience and knowledge with other DAOs. We know that there are communities, with bold ideas like us, that need our help. If not, many of these projects will die trying, since the path is not easy, that’s why we decided to launch the KH Accelerator.

We are working with amazing projects in ALL sports to share knowledge and resources to achieve our mutual lofty
goals. We have built an incredibly talented community that makes this vision a reality, creating a model to align incentives + share resources, knowledge and talent.

If you are interested in adding guidance and momentum to your vision, KH Accelerator is for you. Do not hesitate to send us a DM The Krause House (🏀,🏀) (@KrauseHouseDAO) / Twitter telling us your idea. We would love to discuss the possibilities. We have launched our accelerator on February 28. Let’s find a way to connect to see if your project fits!

We will be covering a wide variety of learning. We have experts in different areas such as legal aspects, marketing, fundraising and management, onboarding, community, operator teams, etc, who can be of great help when you are starting a DAO.

Here are some of the projects that are already working with us:

Signing Day Ltd 🏃

Signing Day is a community of sports fans on a mission to help college athletes take control by enshrining their name, image, and likeness on the blockchain.

DAO F1 🏎️

"Let’s buy a Formula 1 team"

F1 is an absolutely massive global sport and the barriers to entry are incredibly high. These fans are on a mission to change F1's ownership structures forever.

Diamond Gloves FC🥊

"A Decentralized MMA League".

There has never been a better time for a UFC competitor. This DAO is creating chain fight rewards to change the way fighters are compensated in a fair and transparent way.

Football.xyz

We're a collective looking to build a new future for football through transparency, #DAO-based community team ownership and web3."

An incredible team w/ a similar macro vision as KH. Their first goal is to build a large global community that pioneers new approaches to club ownership, governance, and finance in the sport, rooted in consensus building, web3 technology, and open-source use for football fan communities around the world.

TPCxyz / Bank DAO

"We are pro athletes & crypto natives building products & systems to enable wealth generation across our communities in web3". How? "Launching BankDao"

Pro athletes building a more equitable financial system, incredible!

Caray Collective

“Collection of visionaries committed to a future where fans + players will own and operate a MLB team as a DAO.”

With the MLB lockout continuing to drag on, this project is offering a new ownership structure align incentives with fans + players alike.

Princeton 3x3

“PRINCETON 3X3 is dedicated to winning FIBA 3X3 basketball competitions, incubating
America’s top 3X3 players, promoting 3X3 in America, and serving the community
through leadership and youth development. We are the cornerstone of 3X3 in the USA.”

With FIBA 3X3 entering the Olympics, this is an incredibly interesting opportunity to apply Web3 to a rapidly growing form of basketball. We’re excited to see what this team is able to accomplish.

All these projects are just starting. It is really exciting to see how people with the same passion can come together and work for a common goal. Web3 allows all this and much more.

So, what is KH Accelerator?

KH Accelerator is a six-week intensive program that gives developing DAOs access to tools, mentors, investors, and other resources that help them become stable, self-sufficient DAOs.

DAOs using accelerators are typically emerging DAOs that have passed the early stages of establishment. In addition to mentoring and investment opportunities, an accelerator provides access to logistical and technical resources. An accelerator will also connect DAOs with other investors, contributors, and other DAOs.

Even Krause House used an accelerator. We know how useful an accelerator can be as a DAO starts on its journey. Credit goes to Seed.Club for helping get us to where we are. Seed.Club is a DAO that builds and invests in communities helping creators leverage crypto economics to monetize their work, grow their impact and align economic incentives with the communities they serve.

Now, It is our time!🏀

We’ve come a long way in the less than one year since Krause House started as an idea! That’s why we want to return the favor to other DAOs that are just starting out. Since Krause House’s ultimate goal is to buy an NBA team, our area of ​​expertise is focused on blockchain and sports. There are many similarities in the challenges faced by sports, and with Web 3.0, we can create better models across all aspects of sports. Krause House aims to be the leader in the mission to decentralize sports, and the KH Accelerator is a key element in achieving that mission.

The key to web3, just like a sports team, is collaboration. If your partner is a better player, you will be too, the team will play better and it will be easier to win the championship. These simple rules can be transported to the world of DAOs. "Difficult for one, attainable for many."

Asking Commodore (co-founder of Krause House)

-How did the idea for KH Accelerator come about?

Krause House went through Seed Club and had an incredible experience. We felt that sports x crypto was different enough that we could add value for all projects working in this space. We’ve also been pulled to get engaged with other sports & felt this was the best way to help bring this vision to reality without overloading our plates.

-Do you think that all sports will end up being decentralized?

Decentralization has some incredible attributes. Centralization has some incredible attributes too. It’s a question of goals & tradeoffs. We see a world where we’ll see a few decentralized leagues & decentralized teams. Some teams will still be centralized. We believe it will look a lot like the software industry. There’s plenty of open source projects & centralized entities.

-What are for you the biggest obstacles right now for a DAO to be successful?

Getting clarity from regulators. The U.S.’s resistance to implement clear safe harbor rules for this emerging industry are hurting rapid innovation. China’s authoritarian regime is clamping down on crypto, the U.S. should be adopting the opposite — a capitalist & freedom pursuing strategy with crypto.

The genie is out the bottle. These new forms of technology will revolutionize the world, just as the printing press & internet did.

-How does this project benefit the holders of Krause House?

First, this gives Jerrys the ability to contribute to other interesting projects in other sports. Second, this gives Krause House governance in these other projects via the token distribution we’ll be receiving. We’re all on a mission to change the world of sport ownership.
