## **Hackers are Destiny: Four Fulcrums of the Future**
*A Dora Ventures Thesis*
In “Why Software is Eating the World,” Marc Andreeson argued that software isn’t just a tool — it’s a societal force. At [DoraHacks](https://dorahacks.io/), we agree, but we go one step further.
It’s not software alone that reshapes the world. It’s hackers — those who BUIDL.
The real engine of change isn’t technology; it’s the people who choose to wield it.
[DoraHacks](https://dorahacks.io/) is building a global Hacker Movement — a self-organizing force powered by open source, freedom, and code. We’re not chasing buzzwords like “Web3” or geopolitical narratives. We’re building a new society. One based on a simple but radical question:
**What is truly worth building?**
Dora Ventures exists to serve that mission — a capital engine designed to coordinate, amplify, and capture value from the hacker revolution.
We are placing early and aggressive bets across four core leverage points:
## **I. FDA Free Society — The BioHack**
### **Freedom of Life Science is the foundation of a free society.**
Every meaningful technological revolution has challenged the existing power structure.
Today, the single most over-regulated, over-centralized, and innovation-hostile domain? Life Science.
It takes ten years and billions of dollars to bring a drug from lab to patient. Most innovation dies in the trenches of bureaucracy.
We don’t need anarchy. We need a new model:**A market-driven, patient-first biotech innovation stack.**
**The Problem:**
- The FDA approval process kills breakthrough therapies before they live.
- Big Pharma monopolies decouple price from value and destroy competition.
- The “Right to Try” is a legal afterthought, not a first principle.
- Bio startups can’t survive the upfront costs of traditional trials.
**The Opportunity:**
- Let markets and builders lead: give power back to patients, doctors, and founders.
- Rethink from first principles: not “Did it pass?” but “Does it work?”
- Reclaim the Right to Try: the real risk is dying while waiting.
- Build a hyper-competitive biofounder ecosystem — don’t just supply Big Pharma with IP.
- Supercharge biotech with software and AI: accelerate every layer of the stack.
The future of medicine does not belong to regulators. It belongs to the builders who refuse to wait.
**The FDA Free Society isn’t just a challenge to power — it’s a defense of life.**
## **II. Open Source Quantum**
### **Ethereum had 2015. Quantum software has 2025.**
Arthur C. Clarke said: *“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”*
Quantum is magic — until it’s programmable, repeatable, and shared. In other words: open source.
Dora Ventures is betting on the moment quantum computing becomes a hacker’s playground.
Hardware is entering the engineering phase. Software? Still a wasteland — which means pure upside for builders.
**We’re betting on:**
- **Quantum compilers & transpilers**: bridging classical and quantum logic.
- **Quantum cryptography**: building fundamentally new security layers.
- **Quantum applications** in AI, pharma, logistics, finance, space — everything.
We're not watching from the sidelines. We’re funding open-source tools, running hackathons, and building out the decentralized quantum dev stack.
**Open Source Quantum is not speculative.** It’s inevitable — and massively undercapitalized.
Now is the time to build.
## **III. Consumer Crypto — The Fat Apps Are Coming**
### **Crypto’s real revolution? Billion-user apps.**
Crypto is not the *alternative* to the internet. It’s the *next chapter* of the internet.
In the 1990s, HTTP and TCP/IP rewired information.
In the 2000s, web apps rewired commerce and communication.
In the 2010s, mobile apps rewired human behavior.
In the 2020s, crypto apps will onboard the next billion users.
**The infrastructure is ready. The fat apps are hatching.**
Dora Ventures is obsessed with one question:
**Who builds the PayPal and WeChat of the Web3 era?**
That’s where we place our bets.
**What we see coming:**
- Compliant stablecoins like USDC become digital dollars.
- Crypto-native payment rails rival VISA.
- Appchains built with Move + simplified UX onboard non-crypto users.
- On-chain creator economies that pay artists, devs, and communities directly.
Imagine this:
A fan in NYC uses USDC on a Move-based blockchain (Aptos) to buy a concert ticket via KYD Labs.
An Argentinian grabs a latte daily with Bitcoin sats on Lightning.
A friend group splits dinner bills via Yakihonne, a decentralized social platform.
**That’s not the future. That’s this year.**
We’re not funding protocols — we’re funding paradigm shifts in experience.
## **IV. Agentic Organizations — DAOs Without CEOs**
### **The end of corporations. The birth of autonomous orgs.**
In 2022, Sam Altman redefined “tools.”
In 2025, we’ll redefine “organizations.”
Future orgs won’t be hierarchies. They’ll be networks of autonomous agents.
**Agents** are the new work unit. They don’t sleep. They learn continuously. They self-schedule.
They’re not tools to help humans — they *are* the operating system of post-human orgs.
**What’s coming:**
- DAOs with agent-driven governance and privacy.
- Smart Widgets that deploy trade/social/payment agents in three lines of code.
- Privacy as a default layer in automation.
- A new generation of AI-native hackathon projects.
AI + blockchain isn’t a buzzword. It’s the genesis of *organizational intelligence.*
Yesterday, the company was an information processor.
Tomorrow, the DAO is an autonomous agent network.
**No CEOs. No approvals. No offices. Just coordination at the speed of compute.**
## **The Bet: BUIDL Freedom for Humanity**
FDA Free Society. Open Source Quantum. Consumer Crypto. Agentic Orgs.
These are not sci-fi. They are already happening.
At Dora Ventures, we don’t just back technologies.
We back builders who say:
“The system is broken — and I’m going to fix it myself.”
We back rebels who reject stagnation.
Who write code instead of complaints.
Who build networks instead of narratives.
Who refuse to ask permission to build the future.
Hackers are eating the world.
And in the age of AI, humanity will only survive if it chooses to become hackers — to use code, coordination, and imagination to build a world worth living in.
Let’s build.
