Everyone who has ever let us tell your story here: The Life You Can Save, Dotty, impactMarket, GoodDollar, Steve, givepact + soon-to-be-published Sacreage, Topl, and SavePakistan (surprise!)
Anna Lerner of The Climate Collective for your guidance, support, and belief in Web3ForGood.
Our friends at Arkive, especially Phleps, for always promoting Web3ForGood and introducing us to so many new friends.
The communities who have supported our growth along the way: Kernel, ImpactDAO Media, Boys Club.
Anna Stone for being an early supporter and advocate.
Deepa for telling important stories and becoming a friend.
Tayyab for always explaining the big technical concepts to us.
And last but not least, YOU, our readers. There would be no Web3ForGood without you. Thank you for all the times you shared us with your friends, sent us a link, retweeted us, and helped us spread the word.
Grateful for all of you. WAGMI (we are going to make an impact)
