Team Members / Commitment

Mog (1) / Commitment: 50% of time for initial 3 month involvement (February - April), 100% time for following 3 months (May - July)

Terms

Compensation for these Iris Rising contributions will be in $CLUB tokens. A total of 7,500 $CLUB is being requested to cover the contribution period from February - July 2022, with 50% vesting/unlocking on 7/31/2022 and 50% vesting/unlocking on 2/28/2023

These terms will end Iris’s previous engagement (as of May 1, 2022) . We feel that as super-contributors we are able to be better aligned with a longer-term comp model solely in $CLUB tokens.

Iris Rising will utilize all tokens received to actively participate in Seed Club governance and commit to being a long-term supporter and contributor to the broader Seed Club ecosystem.

Accountability

Jess and Nicole will be Iris’s primary point of contact for this engagement. They will be responsible for holding Iris accountable to its deliverable and assessing the engagement’s success.
