On March 15, leading edge business experts launch the Alpha Collective, a premium community with the core mission of helping brands unlock the business of Web3

On March 15, 2022, six leading edge business experts and former advertising executives launch the Alpha Collective, a premium community with the core mission of helping brands and entrepreneurs unlock the full potential, value and opportunities in the business of Web3.

Web3 – a technological and cultural movement that aims to bring decentralization and democratization to the next generation of the internet – promises to reinvent entire industries, change the nature of business, and transform the ways in which brands engage with consumers, communities, creators and collectors.

Memberships to the Alpha Collective will be sold in the form of NFT ‘passes’ that grant members access to one year of exclusive “alpha” content, insights, networking opportunities and in-person events.

“As brands leap blindly into Web3 with NFT projects, metaverse land grabs, and even startup acquisitions, they run the risk of making the same kinds of mistakes they made when they transitioned into the Web 2.0 era. With alpha collective, we aim to provide business leaders and entrepreneurs with the essential, early intelligence they need (aka ‘alpha’) to get it right this time”, says Joseph Jaffe, Alpha Collective co-founder.

The Alpha Collective promises to unpack the latest developments in Web3 in a way that is meaningful and relevant to business decision-makers by offering real-time insights into strategies, techniques and case studies, while ensuring that the next generation of businesses are built on a solid foundation of strategy, operations and leadership fundamentals.

“We’ve seen this record play out time and time again,” said Faith James, Alpha Collective co-founder, “ I don’t have time, Tell me what I need to know, I don’t want to make the same mistakes again, I don’t want to be left behind, Help me make sense of all of this! We are here to make sure this time the record in question is not a broken record, but breaking records in business, brand and bottom line key performance metrics.”

The 4 founders of the Alpha Collective are experienced business leaders themselves, each of whom has a proven track record in helping businesses and brands anticipate and act on the shifts from analog to digital, and from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 – and are now doing the same to personally and professionally embrace the transition to Web3.
