Proposal:

• Allocate 9.99 ETH, or
• Do not allocate

Rationale:

ASK: 9.99 ETH to fund our operations (audio and written content) for 4 months. Per month: $1000 per founder (10 hrs per week @ $25/hr) → 5.17 ETH Additional funding → for deliverables and growth strategy → 4.8 ETH TGID ~ Season 1 (Core product refinement and growth focus)

Our Plan:

Potential refinements:

• Change to “top stories” structure of show

TGIDark

• 1-1 1/2 hour unrecorded Twitter Spaces, what happens on TGIDark stays on TGIDark. 😉
• Hosted by: Nico, Pawky, Doodlifts, Kduck, and Tony
