Shout out to intlcapitalist for being an example of what we're looking for - working on Krouse DAO - pre token DAO, and writing the processes for how to get stuff done as he goes. this is exactly what we're looking for in this guild right now
Topics:
Onboarding - There seems to be a breakdown with onboarding. I get the impression people are; expecting to be fed leads, they don't understand the building relationships strategy and need something more tangible to "sell". Which tells me we need to lean into BED Index and square up prime DAO.
Let's continue to ramp up onboarding capabilities: sniff out inefficiencies and kill them
Suggestions:
- Talent Scout? Other guilds created this role to develop their onboarding systems and help get new people started - maybe this could be a new role to leverage and get focused? Viking can mentor this person.
- Mentorship? we could have outbound mentors and operate on the buddy system. As mentees graduate they start taking a mentorship role for 1 or 2 others to pay it forward.
- Inbound and outbound lead management? Perhaps we could select a lead for an outbound squad to coordinate new people (viking has inbound projects working).
- Training? Would a video series to intro the guild help? I'm thinking several 3-minute short videos that hit the high points. Should we consider creating a first-quest?

Engagement & Tags - why are people not responding to tags?
Gecko & Fonz are doing great, but lots of stuff is going unchecked and missed
Viking can't do everything alone (work every project, negotiate every deal, be in every DAO, coordinate the guild, manage ops/bizdev at 2 other DAO's on top of bdao).
Communication - this will make or break us.
Currently, there's a lack of it, which will break the team. Notion updates, projects, things need to be communicated, not just updated. Otherwise we're just increasing the friction and contention around building momentum to hit our mission.
Suggestions:
Stray or Abandoned Opportunities - There are a number of opps in the CRM that may not be underway. We need to snip these to reduce clutter and misunderstanding.
Suggestions
- Place notice in the #dl_opportunities channel.
- Nuke anything without an owner
- Leave them in the CRM - let new ninjas just jump in and network for their reports and start filling stuff out
Updates & Accomplishments:
Viking:
- UMA - will be helping to co-host calls for the relationship building project. Branding and exposure for both.
- Polygon EcoDAO - considering jumping on the project as well to plan and co-host.
- Maybe a DAO issue roundtable series?
- Prime DAO - Prime rating contribution could be a BanklessDAO member perk: members would able to start working on it with priority access.
- BanklessDAO revenues: BanklessDAO will receive a ?% extra on each job completed by a DAO member (5, 10, whatever is decided fairly, go with 5% for a starting point?)
- Marketing campaign: Prime Ratings will get a 1 week marketing promotion from BanklessDAO with 1 tweet each day + one post coauthored
- ^^has this been communicated to the appropriate marketing & promo guilds?
The idea is to help bdao members earn crypto while using the rating system software PrimeDAO has, and acquiring defi rating scores in the process (proof of knowledge).
Mdiac / Fonz / Airbayer:
- Call was held between this group to discuss AB’s approach to DAOlationships & sales, and how Mdiac & Fonz can shadow and support.
- Bo had call with AB to offer collaboration assistance
- APE DAO: They are looking for a way to bridge the gap between the DAO and the DAO Remix! NFT project, which recently onboarded 3000 unique holders and 10000 people to the discord. They want to leverage the social capital and skills offered by the community and are exploring tip bots, bounty boards, FAQ and onboarding solutions. I will connect a member of the APE DAO with BanklessDAO so we can further understand requirements etc.
Bo:
- Tally - Decentralized competitor to MetaMask. Lots of good vibes here. I was lucky enough to listen in on a call with Fin4thepeople, and got roped in as an OG. will get access to v0.1 (read only) app once Chrome approves it. Will begin looking for Ways to augment their work. Media will play a big role here. 🐕
- Red Rooster Coffee - IRL coffee company seeking ways to create a more effective coffee economy using NFTs and/or POAPs. Had call with silver4k, who is working on a narrative to describe the opportunity ☕
- Grid0 (no opp yet) - the first-ever call for this startup DAO occurred last week. I listened in. They'll need lots of help building the DAO, creating awareness, etc. Nice little community of off-grid enthusiasts. 🔌
- POAP (no opp yet) - no progress whatsoever. Looking for inroads to develop relationship and see how we can help them. Any ideas? 🥇
Gecko007:
- NFT tool - building a Bdao nft tool for all the degens who are finding ways in this new NFT movement. You can find out more about it under projects. Now in the research phase and will send a link when the framework is done
^^please add link
- Red Rooster Coffee - handed over to Bo, here if needed ✅
- NFT DAO - building with @fonz a nft dao showcase. Finding collabs with nft daos. Had a call with frog, kouros, and cryptobushi, continuing talks with kouros and cryptobushi
- Ivan – new member has an idea with an nft project, waiting for him to send a scope of the project
- Primedao – in contact, checking out their project
- Fight club – liaison for daolationships, have already some projects, if there will be an opportunity for our guild - will post more
^^can we quickly review what Fight Club's role is in the DAO?
- present in a few other DAOs and NFT DAOs so will report when something concrete
- I think there was more, but currently riding in my car and writing as I go so will write up if I remember
^^DRIVE SAFELY!
