GoodBuilders is GoodDollar’s flagship builder program, supporting projects that build with and grow real usage of GoodDollar (G$).

The program is designed as a win–win cycle: builders receive funding, mentorship, and visibility to grow their products with GoodDollar — and in doing so, directly contribute to expanding real G$ usage and the ecosystem.

Projects can participate across multiple seasons, progressing over time while accessing growth tools and funding mechanisms that reward real adoption, regardless of their stage.

Season 3 is the next iteration of the program and introduces continuous, streamed funding via FlowState, with mentors playing a central role in shaping how funding is allocated.

Applications for Season 3 are now open, and the season is expected to kick off on 18th Feb, 2026

🧭 How GoodBuilders Season 3 works

GoodBuilders Season 3 runs as a ~3-month, continuous funding round on Celo, run by GoodDollar in collaboration with FlowState.

During the season, projects build, launch, and grow adoption, working toward clear milestones while sharing their progress through demo days and async updates.

💧 How funding works

• Funding is streamed over time, not paid upfront
• Projects build, iterate, and grow throughout the season
• Alongside funding, projects receive ongoing mentorship, community support, and builder support

📊 How funding is allocated

Each project’s share of the funding stream is determined by a balanced voting signal:

• 25% — Community voting by unique verified citizens and donors
• 50% — Mentor voting
• 25% — Growth & progress metrics

Funding flows continuously, and a project’s share can increase or decrease over time based on these performance signals.
