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.

Agree. I think the Bull market really messed with the DAO maturity curve as this idea of making money out of a social token got hold and thus community groups which were aligned in mindset but had no actual aligned goals sprung up. The market made them look successful when in fact they were had no fundamentals.

Building Rooftop, a community and investment DAO equipping women to leverage emerging tech for financial benefit.

Without the disguise of the market, they would have emerged a bit more intentionally - for starters because they couldn't have been built on free labour (hoping for a payout when the token was a big hit)
