Project Info
  1. Name : Collabberry
  1. TL;DR :
      2. Collabberry is a compensation tool for early-stage teams and DAOs, seeking to achieve fairness, trust, and alignment of incentives between contributors and core teams. It tokenizes sweat equity—solving one of the most persistent problems in Web3 (and Web2): misaligned incentives and low contributor engagement. By enabling contribution in exchange for sweat equity tokens, Collabberry helps teams increase participation, retain talent, and build long-term alignment.
      Collabberry is incubated by RnDAO.

  1. Details
Through working closely with our users, we've identified a critical need: objective support in identifying agreement with an organization - how much should someone be paid, what’s their roles and responsibilities. Defining a clear agreement with an organizations is difficult and yet crucial to fair and effective compensation.
Collabberry currently brings contributor agreements onchain and enables decentralized compensation based on those agreements and 360° reviews. By leveraging the wisdom of the crowd, we generate compensation packages that reflect the actual value delivered.
The next step in our product evolution is developing an AI-powered Agreements Agent—a module that helps contributors and organizations define clear, fair agreements from the outset. This feature expands our existing tool and addresses a major friction point in early-stage collaboration.
The core product is already in use, and this next step will help address one of the biggest remaining pain points for adoption.
  1. What's the product about? What problem are you aiming to solve?
      2. Collabberry helps early-stage teams build trust from day one by making contribution, ownership, and compensation fully transparent. In fast-moving, environments, contributors often join without clear expectations—leading to confusion, misalignment, and even team breakdowns. Collabberry solves this by turning contributions into verifiable, onchain agreements. It’s more than just compensation tracking—it’s a foundation for trust that can plug into broader systems like token gating, onchain governance, or automated dividend and profit distribution.
  1. Why now is the right time for this product?
      2. More founders are choosing to build differently—starting lean, moving fast, and growing through community and collaboration rather than relying solely on venture capital. Sweat equity, crowd contributions, and shared upside are becoming powerful tools for bootstrapped teams. But the infrastructure to support this way of working has lagged behind. Now, with advancements in onchain tools and AI, there’s a real opportunity to equip founders with systems that make ownership fair, transparent, and dynamic from the start. This shift not only helps avoid common pitfalls like team breakdowns due to misaligned expectations, but also supports healthier, more motivated teams that can reach financial sustainability faster. By aligning incentives early and clearly, founders can build trust, retain talent, and grow resilient ventures from day one.
  1. How will the product grow the onchain economy on Polygon?
      2. Collabberry brings contributor agreements, compensation, and recognition onchain, making every agreement a verifiable, interoperable primitive. By building on Polygon, we ensure these interactions are low-cost and scalable. Collabberry helps organizations distribute tokens based on value created—growing both the usage of onchain rails and the utility of tokens within the ecosystem.
  1. Who is your target audience? How big is the target market?
      • Target: Early-stage teams, DAOs, and founder-led projects in Web3 (expanding to Web2 startups over time).
      • Market: Over 3,000 DAOs and tens of thousands of early-stage teams globally. We estimate a $2B+ opportunity in the future-of-work and decentralized compensation space.
