An observation now that I’m in a few DAOs and channels: compared to a startup, it’s unclear what the priorities are and how progress is being made against those priorities.

Maybe that’s not the point, but strong believer in you are what you measure.

Tactically, if I have a free 10 minutes to spend thinking about a DAO, a clear place to what’s the current top priority and how you can help feels like an easy win.

I’m hesitant to get involved in daos because I don’t want to end up defacto organizing everything like I ran college projects

Such a good comparison as a lot of them feel  like they should only be college projects.

Definitely understandable. It can certainly feel that way at times.
