I appreciate people's efforts to ensure sustainability for Nouns and improve the DAO's operations. However, I want to offer a word of caution: piling on bureaucracy could alienate existing members and discourage talented individuals with the skills we’re after from joining us. Additionally imposing below market or regionally focused comp will also repel talent. Nouns operates like a marketplace. We’ve got capital to offer, but we’re up against other opportunities vying for the attention of the world’s best builders. Choose wisely?

Definitely some balance between wanting to give people opportunities and paying them well with being frustrated by outcomes and not feeling like ROI has been there fully. Tech is probably the domain I can speak best to, I think the 300k FC round is a good example. $for$ that probably wasn’t “worth it”. Only 1/3 actually got built so immediately that’s 200k pissed away. The last client nounspace is a genuine effort and I love to see that but I don’t think it became the beacon of nouns x fc that folks hoped for when funding that prop. As a result, people become jaded about tech props, and leads to things like base paint team offering to explore a few ideas in nouns for a modest amount (50k) and they get laughed out of the room. Huge miss imo to fund work class talent with proven track record. So we should fund great talent fairly but also be okay with more accountability and scrutiny

nounspace hasn't popped off as much as we hoped it would when making the prop either, but we delivered everything from the prop and then some, learned a ton, and are still pushing almost 1 year later 🦾 we also anticipated (perhaps naively) that we'd be able to secure more funding from Nouns once we delivered what was promised, and it certainly threw a stick in our wheels when that didn't happen. on the bright side, it forced us to get extra scrappy and creative. in addition to some major improvements that we'll be shipping soon, we've developed a new strategy that we think will finally fulfill the community's nouns x fc desires without sacrificing the potential for the tech to scale far beyond the nouns eco. anyway, agree that nouns should fund more teams of talented builders with the funding necessary to build competitive/scalable/profitable tech, and will continue doing our best to be a shining example of why this is the wei 🤝
