I voted AGAINST this proposal on Tally. While I agree with having an OpCo, I think the proposal’s budget is too high and the team size is too big. I see no point in having a full-time, in-house legal counsel, as well as some other employee roles at this point. I’ve seen in other DAOs that they started similar entities with as little as one employee and would scale later on if necessary.
The correct approach is to start lean, with a narrow scope, a short initial (pilot) phase, and then evaluate and scale the budget and the team if necessary. If the proposal was framed like that, I would have supported it.
