Three months ago, Triangle was formed to create a community of builders dedicated to pushing crypto adoption forward through the
@telegram
and
@ton_blockchain
ecosystem.
Today, we're proud to announce our Genesis Cohort 🌲👼💥
With over 30M users,
@open_builders
is the juggernaut that serves as the gateway to the
@ton_blockchain
ecosystem.
How did Open Builders come to be? Let's dive in 🤿
1/ Open Builders are the creators of
@thenotcoin
, but before the inception of Notcoin, they were responsible for the creation of many fundamental TON projects such as
@ton_starter
, Early and Community.
A tumultuous weekend, for the Telegram and TON community, but through adversity we build.
It is our great pleasure to have
@ForesightVen
and
@bitgetglobal
join our journey in making Triangle a world class accelerator. Here's a little more about each company 🤝
Happy weekend everyone🌲👼
With the first week of mentor sessions wrapping up, our last session was an insight filled discussion into building mini-apps led by
@takoy_sasha
, Founder
@thenotcoin
This week, we'll be focusing on best practices on fundraising, stay tuned!
3/ After the success of Tonstarter, Open Builders shifted their focus to building platforms where builders could acquire users, provide incentives for users using their application, and garner feedback. Thus came Community,
@thenotcoin
and Early.
5/ Today,
@open_builders
plays a vital role in the functioning of Triangle. They provide crucial infrastructural support through their set of products, and have attracted some of the greatest mentors for the program.
