Building the future of decentralised media

TUS DAO

The media & creator economy is ripe for disruption...

90%

of media in the US is controlled by just 6 corporations

70%

of Black Americans don't feel authentically represented in media

97%

of YouTubers won't earn more than the US poverty line

65%

of creators feel overworked and underpaid

Enter: Web3

Web3 is the new iteration of the internet.

A decentralised global network, built on-chain with the ethos of decentralisation, co-creation and most importantly - ownership.

Web3 provides a unique opportunity for us to cast away these systems entrenched in bias and build a new era of decentralised, intersectional media.

Asking the question: "what would the world look like if we could tell [and own] our own stories?"

Community-led media

From the creators of Take Up Space, a community for change-makers to connect, learn, heal, grow and take up space in web3 as their most authentic selves.

We want to explore a future where:

creators benefit from the value they create beyond pennies on the dollar

decisions about which stories are told aren’t left to a small, homogenous group of execs

we move from tokenistic → authentic, intersectional representation in media

Say hello to TUS DAO 👋🏽

A global collective building the future of decentralised media to tell stories of impact 💥

Core values

INTERSECTIONAL

We’re not just another media company, from the start we want to amplify diverse voices and tell untold stories of impact.

INTENTIONAL

A big part of building on the edges is experimenting, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t intentional - thinking big, but starting small. And always thinking values-first.

EQUITABLE

We want to find, fund and amplify creators on our platform, ensuring creators retain the value they bring into the world.
