🦦 About Otterspace

Otterspace’s mission is to enable trustless coordination in the decentralized internet by building the rails for platformless status and reputation. The Otterspace Protocol enables anyone to create and issue revocable and expirable non-transferable Badges, and our API and application provide a frictionless environment for developers and non-developers alike. In the coming months we are investing in both core platform infrastructure and important application improvements like wallet abstraction.

The Otterspace app and protocol are used by dApps, DAOs, and communities including Bankless DAO, Cabin, Token Engineering Academy, Developer DAO, Decentraland, and many more.

We work in a hybrid manner, spending our day-to-day mostly working from home and coming together every quarter for hack weeks, offsites, retreats, and conferences. Our working style is based on asynchronous collaboration, trust, autonomy, and ownership. As an early-stage startup, we value generalists who are excited to build something from scratch and appreciate a fast-paced and fast-changing environment as we navigate our path to product-market fit.

Otterspace was founded in the spring of 2022 by Rahul Rumalla, Emily Furlong, and Ben Dobbrick, and funded by leading investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Cherry Crypto, and Coinbase with a USD 3.7M investment. Our team of 8 is mostly based in Europe and has a small co-working space in Berlin.
