What CryptoMondays does

CryptoMondays is a decentralized global Web3 community organization founded in 2018 in New York by Lou Kerner, structured as a DAO-like collective of local chapters and operating with a small core team (1-10 reported). It runs the world's largest in-real-life (IRL) Web3 meetup network, with 150,000+ members across 60+ cities in 18+ countries and weekly featured-guest speaker programming. The company has expanded from a pure community into a multi-product platform that includes the CryptoMondays Advisory Service (access to 300+ Web3 experts across blockchain, DAO creation, fundraising, and tokenization), an AI Web3 Accelerator (a bespoke virtual program preparing projects for Token Generation Events in 10-20 weeks), a Token Foundry service, and the MonDAI open-source Community Management AI agent developed in partnership with the Decentralized AI Agent Alliance (DAIAA). It also founded DAIAA itself, an ecosystem body now with 150+ founding members including Polkadot, Casper, and Techstars, and introduced the MOND community token.

The business model combines freemium individual membership (free meetup access) with paid B2B revenue streams: advisory engagements compensated via small equity stakes and token swaps, an equity-bearing AI Web3 Accelerator, the Token Foundry service, and a 12-month recurring Global Brand Partner program offering co-branded events, roadshows, and ecosystem access. Distribution is hybrid — direct field/enterprise sales for advisory and brand partnerships, self-service digital access via the website and MonDAI portal for community features, and local chapter activations for community growth. Marketing emphasizes events, organic social (X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), a newsletter reaching 26,000+ subscribers, PR distributed via BlockchainWire, and conference participation (Davos, Sundance, ETHDenver, SXSW, Paris Blockchain Week). Customers span Web3/AI startups seeking advisory or TGE preparation, corporate brands and TradFi institutions accessing the community, and individual crypto enthusiasts; advisory engagement outcomes cited include 70+ partner introductions and 20+ high-level meetings converting to signed MOUs per project.
