Talent House: Get Ready for the American Dream at ETHDenver 🇺🇸🏠

Talent House: Get Ready for the American Dream at ETHDenver 🇺🇸🏠

Talent House #6 with take place during ETHDenver. Applications are open until December 18th.

Talent House started as an experiment during Celo Connect in April 2022 and has now grown into a full scholarship program that supports dozens of humble builders to attend their first IRL web3 hackathon.

In 2022, Talent House helped over 60 new web3 builders from all over the world attend their first web3 hackathons and conferences. As mentioned above, the 1st edition took place in Barcelona during Celo Connect, followed by EthCC in Paris, then ETHMexico in Mexico City, and ETHBogotá and DevCon in Bogotá. We closed the year in the sunny city of Lisbon, during which our scholars could attend ETHLisbon, WomenHack, Solana Hacker House, WebSummit, LabsWeek, and Solana BreakPoint.

What was intended as an experiment turned out to be a truly life-changing experience for many of our Talent House Alumni:

Andrés Kaminker 🇮🇱 (Talent House #1)

“Talent House's grant to attend Celo Connect will certainly be a before and after in my journey through web3 and technology in general.

Jyoti Rani 🇮🇳/🇺🇸 (Talent House #2)

“Talent House / Protocol, THANK YOU for:
  • making me feel like home thousands of miles from home!
  • empowering me to find new web3 friends across the entire spectrum (from other newbies to those launching their own DAOs & startups).
  • opening my eyes to the numerous roles in which I can be a contributor to the web3 / crypto space apart from technically.
  • TLDR; the people, the ideas, & new career/life path you've equipped me to further explore!”

Ian Mah 🇨🇦 (Talent House #3)

ETHMexico was an awesome experience that was only made possible by Talent House. Filipe and Luminita were terrific hosts - always checking in on me throughout the event, asking how I was doing/how they could help. Really made me feel supported.

Iwo Szapar 🇵🇱 (Talent House #4)

I loved the experience! Everything was on point and I can totally recommend it to everyone entering the Web 3 world!

Solene Daviaud 🇫🇷 (Talent House #5)

The TH team was very kind and caring. I felt integrated from the beginning and we had the opportunity to participate in several events. It was a complete experience (conference, hackathon, party) and allowed me to meet wonderful people. Thank a lot!!!My team finished 4th in the women hack ranking and 2nd in the Algorand category 🙏🏼
