WHY THIS ROUTE
Onchain reputation and forecasting are areas chain ecosystems actively fund, and a live app with resolved calls is a stronger application than a deck.

NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. Write down your three proof numbers

15 min

From your dashboard note calls created, calls resolved and unique profile visitors. Add how many other people have asked for their own page. These go at the top of every application.

2. Apply to a Base builder grant round

60 min

Base runs builder grants and retroactive rewards for shipped apps. Find the current form on the Base builder pages, describe Calibrated as reputation infrastructure for human experts, and link your live profile.

3. Enter a Gitcoin round if you open source your frontend

90 min

Gitcoin rounds fund public goods tooling. Publish your widget code on GitHub with a clear license, then create a project profile and apply when a fitting round opens.

4. Pitch an accelerator style program

45 min

Programs in the style of Alliance or a16z CSX look for consumer crypto with a wedge. Your wedge is one niche with a leaderboard. Send a short note to a program partner or apply through their form.

FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO ACCELERATOR PROGRAM PARTNER

Hi Teo, I run Calibrated, a public scoreboard where analysts' calls are dated and resolved onchain. 40 calls resolved so far, 6 analysts asking for their own page. I want to own calibration for crypto research the way rankings own a sport. Open to a 15 minute call if this fits your thesis.

5. Track every application in one sheet

15 min

List program, date applied, contact, answer and next follow-up. Funding is never guaranteed; the sheet keeps you applying instead of waiting.

FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO A FOUNDER WHO RECEIVED A GRANT IN THIS ECOSYSTEM

Hi Wren, congrats on your grant. I run Calibrated, a public scoreboard where my calls are dated and resolved onchain. Before I apply, could I ask what reviewers cared about most? Two lines would help a lot.
