EcoHub · Not Assigned/ Unknown EcoHub Country: 🇨🇴 Colombia · Bogotá Category: Not Assigned/ Unknown CT Taxonomy: CT-XS-003 — Green Finance & Climate Fintech Impact Areas: Circular Economy, Nature-Based Stage: Prototype Team Size: 3.0 Website: https://ecohub-frontend-six.vercel.app/ Funded: False Elevator Pitch EcoHub is an open-source decentralized platform designed to empower ecological projects through Web3 technology and DAO structures. We provide a transparent ecosystem where communities can secure crypto-funding and collaborate on environmental initiatives Climate Problem Grassroots ecological projects struggle with opaque funding and isolated efforts. EcoHub addresses this funding gap and fragmentation, mattering because empowering local "eco-seeds" globally is essential to scale climate action effectively Solution We offer an open-source Web3 platform acting as a "GitHub for ecology." We tackle this by enabling creators to launch DAO-structured projects, receive transparent crypto-funding, and collaborate globally to scale nature-based solutions Revenue Model Revenue is generated through a small percentage fee on crypto-funding transactions, premium tier tools for DAO governance, and strategic partnerships with green organizations seeking verified impact projects to sponsor on our platform Target Market Eco-entrepreneurs, environmentally conscious crypto-investors and philanthropists, and open-source developers Social Impact Indigenous Peoples, Refugees - Asylum-seekers and Internally Displaced People, People Living in Extreme Poverty Demand Evidence The growth of Regenerative Finance (ReFi) and climate DAOs proves high demand for Web3 climate solutions. Furthermore, grassroots creators constantly cite funding bottlenecks and lack of global collaborative tools as barriers to scale Competitors Competitors include Gitcoin (climate rounds) and Giveth (crypto donations), plus networks like Regen Network. However, EcoHub uniquely combines open-source technical collaboration with DAO governance specifically tailored for eco-projects Founder Expertise We combine high-level software engineering and Web3 infrastructure with the deep ecological expertise of the Shambala initiative. Our team bridges the gap between decentralized technology and on-the-ground environmental impact in Latin America External Support We are leveraging cloud infrastructure credits to build our MVP. Beyond technical community feedback, we have not received formal external incubation or financial support yet, making ClimateLaunchpad our ideal first structural step Team I lead software architecture and Web3 strategy. Julian and Daniel serve as ecological impact directors, managing project validation and community engagement through their extensive Shambala network to ensure real-world environmental results Founder Jesus Manuel Contreras Padilla
