Project Details: Project name / TBD! Project description / TBD~ Project Lead / burrrata Project Lead email / burrrata@protonmail.com
Why Aragon: Why do you think Aragon is a good fit for this project? / because it's the Aragon grants program Are there any existing Aragon projects that are similar or complementary to your project? / the old grants program
Team: Team members / nope Team roles / testing Has the team already worked together? / yes Are any of the project team members covered by non-competes or intellectual property agreements that overlap with your project? / nope!
Problem & Market: Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? / The Nest application flow has lots of friction What's new about what you're making? What do people resort to because it doesn't exist yet (or they don't know about it)? / It's a simple onboarding process, the data is tracked, and it (maybe) populates to GitHub for transparency purposes Have you talked to people about what you're making? Do people want it and do you have examples of this? / We actually haven't. We feel that we're experts and can make design decisions in a bubble. That's a good point, however, that we would do well to interview past Nest grant applicants to understand if/how the process could have been improved for them. What are the alternatives or competitors to this project? / GitHub Issues. What is the target market or end user in mind for this project? / Teams who want to build on Aragon.
Funding & Finance: How much money are you requesting as a grant? (USD) / Enough to live a comfortable, happy, and productive life :) How do you plan to deploy grant funds? ie the split between research/development/marketing/etc / First, find PMF Then, scale Aragon Then, back to step 1 to ensure that we are continuously meeting the needs of users/customers. What is your expected monthly burn rate (USD)? / 10k Do you think this project will require additional funds from Aragon once you have depleted the grant funds? / Yes. Performance based incentive structures are key. Have you already received any grants or funds from 3rd parties? If yes, how much? / < 5k Are you applying for funding to any other DAO platforms of grant programs? / No, but that I should. So far I've gotten positive responses from every grants program or team I've applied to in the past. I've been so obsessed with Aragon lately that I haven't spent much time looking at other options. That might be good to do, however, to make sure that Aragon is offering competitive rates for contributors and team members. How long do you plan on working on this project before shipping? / Product Market Fit We'll know it when we see it, but this can also be measured by retention and churn numbers. Once we have 40% or greater retention then we can scale.
Growth Once we have product market fit we can invest in growth. This will include, but not be limited to, marketing, new feature development, and business development deals.
Product Market Fit As we grow, we will enter new markets and acquire new users. These will not be the same as the early adopters we encountered in our initial market. It is essential that we continuously maintain strong relationships with users and customers to ensure that we are building things people want.
Traction: How far along are you in your project? / testing Is anyone currently using your product / application? / yes, for testing purposes How will this project get users? / We give them free money, so there's that. We also plan to market the program to attract talent. The more talent we have in the Aragon community the more appealing it will be for developers.
Other: Where did you hear about Nest? / An exiting Nest or Flock Team member Do you agree to use an Aragon DAO for operating this project and receiving the funds? / True Is there anything else you would like to share or ask us? / Can I get a copy of this application for research purposes? Have you read and agreed to the Nest terms of grant and the Nest FAQs? / True
