About New Order

New Order is a community-driven venture DAO with a focus on building DeFi startups through Incubation and Acceleration. In contrast to traditional venture platforms that provide capital, we instead offer valuable resources, expertise, and essentially act as a Co-Founder.

New Order was created with the vision of being a self-governing venture platform positioned to facilitate the edge-of-the-edge of DeFi.
