Hi @danielo, I have to emphasize that if we want great startups to stay in the Arbitrum ecosystem, we must avoid getting their devs into bureaucratic traps. I mean, we must be fast and furious in this matter of funding them and not waste their their time and energy on all kinds of validations and appraisals.
From my experience of dealing with various startups over the past three years or so, the really good ones, and their devs, can easily get some funding from the market.
I know that there are various process norms that must be met to use DAO funds. But given that the maximum match is $50,000 per program, I don’t think that’s a lot of money, so I’m suggesting keeping things simple and letting Devs focus on innovation building rather than building to meet Grants conditions.
