What is Studio3?¶
A New Way to Build Ventures¶
🌟 The One-Liner
Studio3 is a gamified venture building platform where entrepreneurs compete for resources, supporters signal belief with tokens, and everything happens transparently in public "Arenas."
🎮 Think of It Like...¶
A Video Game for Startups¶
Imagine if building a startup was like playing a video game where:
- You level up through 7 phases (from idea to independence)
- You earn experience points (XP) for achievements
- The community votes with tokens on your success
- Everything happens in public view for accountability
- Real money and stakes make it serious, not just fun
🏟️ The Arena Concept¶
Why "Arenas"?
Just like gladiators competed in ancient arenas:
- Ventures compete for support and resources
- Supporters signal belief in who will succeed
- Performance is public - no hiding failures
- Winners earn glory (and funding)
- The crowd decides who deserves support
👥 Three Types of Players¶
1. 🏗️ Senders (The Builders)¶

- Guide ventures with collective wisdom
3. ⚓ Anchors (The Guides)¶

- Mentor founders
- Maintain quality standards
💡 The Magic Ingredient: $SIGNAL Tokens¶
How Belief Becomes Real Support
- $SIGNAL tokens represent conviction
