RnDAO Value Proposition
Introduction
Imagine an ecosystem of projects, built bottom up by bringing new contributors and new projects into the community, one by one.
Imagine having as an entrepreneur the same benefits of portfolio diversification that a VC enjoys, while still having autonomy and focusing your time and energy on building what you believe in.
Imagine a goldilocks balance between the safety of an established job in a large enterprise and the potential upside of a startup, as determined by you, for your needs.
Imagine that you have a larger community, a shared brand you can leverage to give weight to new ideas, and shared assets you can leverage to move faster with more care and precision.
Imagine the learnings from cumulative experiments and compounding user insights, where every hard earned discovery is used not once but multiple times.
Imagine proving that DAOs are more effective and offer more wellbeing and satisfaction than a web2 startup path or corporate job ever could.
This is what we have been building for a year. We've built research expertise and learned a ton about DAOs, we've generated revenue and built two products, we've proved that we can create composable and modular my practices for Units to accelerate each other's development, and built a brand associated e quality.
Now, we want to double down on this vision. And what we're missing is… you.
Join us in building, shaping, and creating. Join us dreaming a bigger dream, and together, we'll make it come true.
