Grow Our Own Teams

Our current communication and collaboration tools encourage us to type at each other, rather than talking with each other. Telegram, Discord, and Ideascale are poor mediums for recruitment and team building. How many successful teams have been built using a dev-for-hire tag?

Let's create spaces for conversations that foster meaningful relationships. Only after building relationships can we truly understand the skills and expertise of another. If we're to create dream teams with diverse perspectives and skillsets, we need to start with relationships. Organically grown dream teams will grow our DeFi ecosystem more effectively and consistently than any outreach or marketing efforts.

To help create these spaces, we propose a repeatable yet flexible template designed to guide individuals through team-building activities with other community members. We will NOT create teams, but rather, create the conditions under which teams can create themselves. Not only that, but we'd like to create companion experiences that guide new teams through problem definition, solution ideation, and proposal writing. Let's scale up our DeFi ecosystem TOGETHER.
