ATOM GROWTH DAO – Growth & Developer Acquisition 2023 Previous Post [Full Proposal IPFS] ( https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVr8zLF4KWTTNQ2wAyuSHygfEURrg2nP33b6aXrd19uDE ) Change log • 2023-02-4 New post after a feedback cycle Outline • Preface • Overview • Developer Awareness • Support Replicated Security • Map Infrastructure & Ecosystem Audit • Team • Reviewer Committee • Reporting • Budget Request • Bonus Structure • Conclusion • Governance Vote Preface On Dec. 19, 2022, Cosmos Hub Prop 88 was accepted, and a tax was created to fund the community pool, ongoing. This large pool of capital is used for ecosystem growth through grants, development, and community building. This new tax signals that the community is not content with the growth of the Hub, specifically for maintenance, development, grants, and funding. With the signaling proposal of the V9 Lambda launch, Interchain Security (ICS), consumer chains, and Replicated Security are quickly becoming reality. A new narrative is emerging for the Cosmos Hub, a sustainable stream of real yield to $ATOM stakers. The Cosmos Hub has seen the emergence of 54 appchains.…

Thank you for the proposal.

It’s hard to measure the success of this kind of project. Maybe would be better if you ask to fund per event (community event, hackathon, etc).

Our success and KPIs are clearly laid out, which are you most concerned with?

  • 20+ new dApps to utilize ATOM via pools, money markets, utilities, and dApp integration on both Cosmos appchains and as utility on EVM dApps
  • 1 sponsored Cosmos ecosystem hackathon
  • 5 meetup and student organization sponsorships
  • 1,000+ applicants for Cosmos Hub grants
  • Weekly AMAs on progress and new initiatives

alphagrowth: • 20+ new dApps to utilize ATOM via pools, money markets, utilities, and dApp integration on both Cosmos appchains and as utility on EVM dApps • 1 sponsored Cosmos ecosystem hackathon • 5 meetup and student organization sponsorships • 1,000+ applicants for Cosmos Hub grants • Weekly AMAs on progress and new initiatives Thanks for the proposal, sounds like it could be a good oppurtunity for the Cosmos Hub to get necessary marketing to developers. I am interested to get into the details here. • What does an Alphagrowth project/team vetting process look like? Is this simply an email list of “developers”, or is there a more in-depth process for vetting? Face to face, or video chats, live demonstrations of projects and the rough concept built by the developer or team? • Does Alphagrowth primarily get developers seeking grant funding through its online application process, or does Alphagrowth attend conventions and events, where it meets with developers, face to face? If Alphagrowth gets developer interest at events or hackathons, does Alphagrowth hold some of these events or hackathons it gets developers from, and if so, do you have any stats on…

this would require coordination between accelerator DAO if the proposal is voted in favor. To avoid working on the same subjects without consultation.

@Jcook_14 • What does an Alphagrowth project/team vetting process look like? We create a prospect list, start a messaging campaign to connect with the projects and teams, set meetings and discuss the projects roadmap and strategy and see if the program is aligns with the teams goals. If it’s a fit for both parties we negotiate what a grant could look like. Does Alphagrowth primarily get developers seeking grant funding through its online application process… We have multiple sources and paid ad campaigns are a part of it . Our data gathering engine which includes but is not limited crawling github, conference sites, hackathons, social media, other data aggregators is the main part we find close to 700 new crypto projects per month. If they are a fit for our clients we reach out and start a conversation. Do you have any projects or chains, that you could give the community, as examples of previous successes in grant funding? yes here is a small subset we put together: AlphaGrowth grants example @ Guinch_Roze We are up for coordination. @ ala.tusz.am Respectfully, did you read the new proposal? Over the last 10 days we had 30 plus conversations…

Apologies for misreading it, I will delete my previous post and the associated tweet and re-assess. Thanks for pointing that out.

I appreciate the clarifications and I look forward to checking out some of your previous grant recipients. Will Alphagrowth be getting into the public eye, via some of the most prominent social platforms? I would love to hear Alphagrowth discuss the goals and objectives of their fund, on Cryptocito’s YouTube Channel, as he is one of the Cosmos more prominent social figures. I’d also love to see a few Twitter spaces discussions as well. I am still on the fence of this proposal, but the open dialogue helps and I believe open dialogue and engagement on social media is going to be important.

One of the reasons I trust that even if Prop 95 goes through as a yes, the team behind it will work hard to benefit the Cosmos Hub, because I have known of Youseff for a while and i know he seeks to benefit the Cosmos Hub and Interchain ecosystem. I personally do not know much about Alphagrowth, so I will look forward to getting to know the company more and I hope you seek out ways to gain trust in the community.

Sure thing.
AlphaGrowth helped run all marketing, events, ama outreach, influencer outreach, telegram and twitter growth campaigns, for Sommelier Finance from Mar 2021 to Jan 2022.

AlphaGrowth helped Paloma Chain https://www.palomachain.com/ with marketing, AMAs, we are in coordination to help with their upcoming grants program and Defi Utility after Mainnet Launch.

We are working with Kava as well on bringing projects to their chain some of the projects can be seen here:
