Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 61 - Cherubs DAO - Using web3 to advance brain health and longevity

For Episode 61, we welcome Brian Magierski, Founder of CherubsDAO, an NFT funded and governed DAO that is using the power of web3 to advance brain health and longevity. We discuss the emerging DeSci movement, where CherubsDAO fits into it, and how web3 will revolutionize impact funding and empower a new generation of scientists.

Brian Magierski, is the Founder of Cherubim Labs, which is the sponsoring organization for CherubsDAO and the DeSci Collective. He is a global entrepreneur in blockchain, mobile, and internet-based software and healthy lifestyle service businesses in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He serves as a member of the Entrepreneurship at Cornell Advisory Council, and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Three Key Takeaways

  • Web3 will revolutionize impact funding by democratizing it and making it more accessible to everyone.

  • DeSci will create greater opportunity for a new and diverse generation of scientists. By addressing barriers in the traditional world of science, it will empower scientists to thrive.

  • Web3 presents new tools to address complex scientific problems in more open and community-driven ways. This includes crowdfunding for scientific research, shared ownership over research, IP-NFTs, and more. We are really just scratching the surface.
