New Order is a community-led incubation DAO that builds startups at the frontier of decentralized finance. We incubate and launch projects while also accelerating early-stage DeFi protocols.
New Order acts as a co-founder and works directly with teams by leveraging and deploying our network of developers, researchers, and business development experts. Our vision is to create the next generation of DeFi protocols by building alongside future leaders in the space and contributing intensively to innovative projects.

<aside> 🚀 Acceleration
</aside>
Through incubation, we build projects from the ground up (concept phase to a successful launch). No matter if the concept originated from internal research or from external applications, we provide all of the necessary resources to go-to-market faster and more effectively.
Working through a full project launch requires a massive amount of human capital, resources, and time. Because of this, we’ve been selective with what projects we decide to incubate — only choosing DeFi concepts of the highest quality.
Incubated Projects
We’ve partnered with the industry’s leading Web3 accelerator, Outlier Ventures, to launch its first DeFi Accelerator Program — DeFi Base Camp.
The 3 month Accelerator Program is catered towards projects past the concept phase and offers a leading DeFi mentor & investor network, an optional interest free loan, expertise in token design, fundraising, business planning, pitch practice, legal, marketing support, and more
Similar to Incubation, quality is of utmost importance and we plan to only select 6-10 projects per cohort.

We understand that crypto, blockchain, DeFi, Web3, etc. can be very technical and off-putting, particularly for those who haven't yet went down the rabbit hole. Public awareness and education can bring more attention and interest to projects like New Order by providing information in a form that is digestible yet informative.
New Order operates through a SubDAO organization model, where internal work-streams are divided by function to allow for effective and decentralized operations.
