- Proposal Description
This proposal details how I’d like to contribute to making GardenDAO a success.
Grants and Funding;
With Gardens V2 launch in the works, it’s crucial to have a more solid/sustainable approach towards acquiring grants and managing quality partnerships. As a community-focused project, developing a sound plan and strategy for partnering with onboarding relevant communities and managing that relationship should be a key consideration of the launch process.
Prior experience that supports this;
-
Deep Understanding of the Web3 Ecosystem: my roles as an Investment Analyst and Venture Fund Fellow have provided me with an in-depth understanding of the web3 industry. I’ve analyzed financial statements, conducted market research, and identified emerging trends, which gives me a comprehensive perspective on the opportunities and challenges within the space.
-
Grants Management and Stakeholder Relations: My role in leading the grants pod within Bankless Africa involved grant writing, stakeholder engagement, and building awareness. This led to the DAO participating in the first-ever DAOdrops round. This experience has honed my skills in managing grants effectively.
My contribution to designing operational flows, increasing member participation in decentralized governance, and raising governance awareness also come in handy in ensuring effective collaboration between stakeholders in a project
