FTW.DAO was a venture DAO on a mission to collectively build a $1B ecosystem fund by finding, funding, and fostering diverse-led teams working toward a better 2030. They trained talent to identify top founders and connect them with forward-thinking investors. The project has since wound down.

02 The Challenge

The Challenge

FTW had a developer team that stalled on their NFT minting page: unfinished, misaligned with the new design direction, and without a CMS for non-technical staff to manage the website. They needed an outside team to take ownership, ship, and hand off.

03 What We Did

What We Did

We led project management for their developer team, finished the NFT minting page, implemented required design changes, and integrated ButterCMS (a headless CMS) so their team could maintain content without engineers.

04 Outcomes

Outcomes

NFT mint Shipped
0 devs needed Post-launch CMS edits
05 What We Learned

What We Learned

Taking over a half-built project is always messier than starting fresh. The real cost is understanding undocumented decisions. We now start every rescue engagement with a 2-day codebase audit before committing to any delivery timeline.
