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.

What are the perks of being in a DAO vs. Being a traditional Angel investor?

Lots of different versions. Most DAOs aren't VCs. Most are closer to companies that have funds to spend.

Some are just WhatsApp groups with a shared bank account.

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

There’s a DAO I joined and got promoted to the technical team. The structure is something like 4 founders. 12 contributors below that. 3 technical dept. 3 marketing. 3 finance. And 3 operations or something else.
Then there’s another 150 or so contributors below that which you buy in at.

Oh yes. I was curious of the answer. Also curious, what’s the most interesting you’ve done with a DAO?
