Summary

Bankless Consulting will be a mechanism for project delivery for entities other than the Bankless DAO Grants Committee or Bankless DAO Guilds.  Consulting takes many forms, but the primary mission of Bankless Consulting will focus on DAO-to-DAO (D2D), DAO-to-Business (D2B), and Product Incubation.

• Bits and pieces of similar efforts are happening in the DAO within guilds or projects (such as a D2D design guild effort), and business development efforts with other DAO’s are happening in DAOlationships, Client Services (Writer’s Guild spin-out).
  • Bankless Consulting will try to normalize and deploy a mechanism for this external facing work to reduce redundancy
• Bankless Consulting will formalize the people and processes behind a DAO Consultancy to present a professional outward brand and reputation to deliver on projects.
  • Crowdsource the rest of the DAO via Bounty Board
  • Level 1 or higher
• Create strong Operations, Finance, Marketing/BD, Project Delivery, and Legal capabilities to form as a baseline and structure to the Consultancy
• Focus (qualified and opted-in) talent from the DAO towards projects that match skill-set and desires in return for remuneration
• Create structures to bring revenue into the DAO Treasury and Bankless Consulting Multi-sig through project inflows
• Create processes to pay individual project contributors for work performed as well as Consulting infrastructure (operations, legal, etc.) for work to support the endeavor.
• Create interaction methods between Bankless Consulting and traditional business world
• Create a differentiation between Bankless Consulting and traditional consulting’s Blockchain practices (EY, Deloitte, etc.) by focusing on inherent advantages of DAO mechanics and absence of encumbrance of being a traditional company (Shareholders, certain accounting regulations, etc.)
• Be acutely aware of potential liability for project implementation risk, and proactively work on ways to avoid it
