# Welcome to Ad Lab!

Our community collaborates in the lab to develop Web3 businesses; they love it because contributors earn equity and build personal wealth. \
\
That's right ...no more working to make someone else wealthy!

This Lab is a seedbed for open source projects where contributors will receive their fair-share of the profits resulting from the team's creation(s).

## Go to Market Strategy

Real-World Utility will put Ad Lab on the map.

We are designing and building web3 protocol with real-world utility for the HVAC Industry. Our current plans include the following tools (we anticipate expanding as we grow):

1. A decentralized warranty validation & servicing platform for HVAC manufacturers. \
   (this will saves them $billions)
2. A cryptographically authentic platform for service providers.\
   (this is a cutting edge client relationship management tool for HVAC contractors)
3. A secure hub for property improvement, repair, maintenance & education. \
   (this will make property ownership less stressful). 

These real world benefits will drive adoption of Web3 technology for a totally new demographic so we've included an "introduction to web3" section for the newbies (...web3 OG's can skip it).

Our initial vision includes 4 NFT projects to create the infrastructure and tools for the ecosystem:

1. ZipDAPP\
   The main project which is a decentralized connection point for users & DAPPs
2. NFwarranTy\
   The protocol & UX/UI that will save HVAC manufacturers $billions in warranty servicing expenses.
3. Cyber Contractor Club\
   This project will develop the UX/UI for HVAC contractors to access ZipDAPP member benefits.
4. Cyber Maintenance Club\
   This project will develop the UX/UI for property owners to access ZipDAPP member benefits.

For more information on each of these projects, please refer to the [Projects Section](/welcome-to-ad-lab/projects/zipdapp.md).

Our broader goal, while building this initial ecosystem, is to develop 'The Lab'.

In addition to being an amazing community, 'The Lab' will develop a framework for launching Web3 businesses, effectively redesigning capitalism by distributing equity using a merit-based approach.

...more on this later. The main focus of this whitepaper is ZipDAPP.
