Betting on Builders: Infinite Launchpad Proposal

[danielo]

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

@cp0x

Community Building Module: 300k
It seems to me that this is too much money for the formation of a module. I propose to either lower this value for Tally, or specifically explain where this amount comes from.

The community building module includes:

• 2 Hackathons (70k each including all the prizes, venue, etc etc)
• 6 Unconferences (2 IRL and 4 online, also including all the venue, logistics, etc etc.)
• Weekly online events (trainings, pitch practice workshops, expert/thought leader talks, speed networking, etc)
• A dedicated community manager to attend the events and engage 1-1 with participants, build relationships, facilitate introductions, etc.

@cp0x

• Admin (Operations and Overhead): 700k
  This amount is generally unclear where it came from; everyone would like to receive 700k in six months, but this is an inadequate amount for an administrator’s salary.
• Operational overhead costs are up to 50% of grants. This is a very significant part of the cost.

please note these are not only admin costs. Compared to a regular grant program, the proposed programs include a significant dose of support (mentorship, workshops, training, etc.) which is critical for early-stage projects. I imagine these concerns are mostly related to OV and EVM Capital as we (RnDAO) already provided a detailed breakdown in our proposaland you mentioned support. So I’ll ask EVM and OV to provide further details (or please correct me if I’m wrong and you’d like to see more from our side).
