Steel DAO is a web3 community initiative that was founded by Bessemer Venture Partners to support founders, creators, and operators building in the web3 space. Steel DAO's Twitter Score is 7.6 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #129,155 among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Steel DAO originally launched under the name BessemerDAO before being rebranded to its current identity as the community grew more decentralized and established a distinct brand separate from Bessemer Venture Partners. The project developed two core programs: Links, a community-as-a-scout program focused on sourcing and evaluating companies across web3 consumer applications, DeFi, and crypto infrastructure, and Bridge, a curated talent collective and job board connecting web3 companies with builders and operators.
Steel DAO was designed so that community members could share in profits generated from investments they sourced and advanced. Bessemer Venture Partners committed $500,000 to bootstrap the Links initiative, which previously used Syndicate infrastructure, with members receiving non-transferable NFTs representing identity and reputation and voting occurring on-chain. The SteelDAOxyz domain is no longer an active project website and is currently listed for sale, and the @SteelDAOxyz account appears in an SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure filing published by Bessemer Venture Partners.
Steel DAO's portfolio includes SAVAGE, Sphere Labs and OWND.
