Who is behind Web3?

Who exactly is the driving force behind the emergence and development of Web3? Is it a single entity or a collaboration of multiple stakeholders?

Additionally, what are their motivations and what kind of impact do they hope to achieve with Web3? Is it purely technological advancement or does it also have socio-economic implications?
