---

Summary

Get-By connects formerly incarcerated and underemployed people with small business owners looking to fill on-demand shifts. Get-By operates a mobile on-demand marketplace with pre-screened and pre-vetted applicants, allowing managers to make quick and data-driven hiring decisions while alleviating the stress of finding workers urgently. Get-By serves as an opportunity for the underemployed to establish professional relationships, credibility and begin on a path towards long-term employment. Get-By is an Anchorage Alaska based Business to Business Software and Staffing as a Service business. This proposal will support Get-By by raising awareness around fair-chance hiring while proliferating the NounsDAO and associating it with a social impact business.

Funds proposed will be used to launch Get-By and to integrate Nounish branding into the display of the Initial Get-By Job Fair booth. The intention for this proposal is to lay the groundwork for future collaborations between Get-By and NounsDAO/subDAOs to market and connect Web3 employment opportunities to formerly incarcerated and underemployed job seekers. This initial proposal will allow Lilskrtskrt to inform potential job seekers that the funding to launch Get-By was sourced from this community! How can this community be a vehicle for them to achieve their dreams?!

Goal of Proposal

This is a nounish proposal that seeks to build collaboration between the NounsDAO and subDAOs and a social impact business Get-By, proliferating the Nounish brand while making the ecosystem and community more accessible to more of our formerly incarcerated community members.

Detailed Explanation

Through a CCO co-branding relationship Lilskrtskrt.eth seeks to:

a. Proliferate the Lil Nouns and Nounish DAOs brand and culture: (Print T-shirts & Other Merch, Banners, Noggles, Contest at Booth, IRL Giveaways) b. Associate the Lil Nouns and Nounish DAOs with goodwill and building social capital in marginalized communities: (Use Successful Prop Funding from Lil Nouns DAO to launch a business to create jobs for people who need them, “every time a prop builder gets funded, that’s a part time job”, let’s educateworkers on how they can find Nouns funding to pursue their own dreams!)

Proliferation / Utility

a. This proposal will proliferate the NounsDAO meme and culture by proliferating the Lil Nouns DAO and Nounish subDAOs through its aesthetic use of the noggles and Lil Nouns characters. The Get-By logo is aesthetically similar to the NounsDAO logo, the two logos will be displayed together. The nounish merchandise that will be designed/funded through this proposal will aid Lilskrtskrt in successfully launching the business while raising awareness about the Nouns and Web3 ecosystems.

Any interested parties who approach the Job Fair Booth will have the opportunity to (win/receive) merchandise by playing a game or scanning a QR code at the Booth.

This merchandise will be available at the Job Fair Booth and for the initial cohort of workers, later online for purchase, we want to be sure that our first cohort of workers have their swag.

b. The culture of nounishness is synonymous with the values of Get-By:

Get-By was founded as an attempt to solve a problem that lilskrtskrt.eth faces himself, he saw a void in available opportunities and decided to create a solution that matches his lived experience. He has bootstrapped the business to this point and has found difficulty accessing funding, while being unemployed. This proposal and collaboration, if successful, would provide adequate funding to launch the business and recruit a first cohort of shift workers. This proposal could be a pilot for setting standards/expectations for the NounsDAO/subDAOs for working with marginalized entrepreneurs.

c. In addition to further proliferating the meme and culture, this proposal would add goodwill and social capital to the ecosystem. It would draw the attention of organizations already involved in fair-chance work to the Lil Nouns DAO & Nounish subDAOs (include list of businesses from Second Chance Business Coalition that have made the second chance pledge: LINK HERE and the opportunity that this protocol could provide to all sorts of different social justice issues.

This could be a new pathway to gain recognition from large stakeholders via building goodwill and being in the same room as people who care about change.

Team / Qualifications

Lilskrtskrt.eth has spent the last 7 years living in Anchorage as a reintegrated citizen. Post release he decided to formalize his technical abilities, learning to use data to inform decision making while performing database management and modeling analyses in life sciences and blockchain applications. He did so to be more competitive in the workplace. Ultimately Lilskrtskrt was not able to transition into professional roles due to a lack of credibility. Instead he has hopped from one small business to another working as a busser, dishwasher, delivery driver, food production assistant, server, cold caller, accounting technician, and data entry specialist. Get-By is the answer to this inefficient and ineffective pattern of employment, and his passion for technology and social justice. If you would like to hear more about Lilskrtskrts personal reentry story, please listen to the Podcast.

Lilskrtskrt.eth is active in reentry advocacy in Alaska;

a. serving as a Steering Team member for the Anchorage Reentry Coalition. Get-By listed here: https://www.anchoragereentry.org/who-we-are.

b. volunteering as a L.I.O.N member with the Learning Inside Out Network, engaging with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated Alaskans to collect stories and spread empathy and understanding through literacy and increasing educational opportunities.

c. volunteering as a member of the ACLU of Alaska Prison Reform Action Network advocating for criminal justice and corrections reform, pursuing just equitable and humane treatment of offenders before, during, and after their experiences with the system.

Lilskrtskrt#5446 will be involved in every phase of the proposal.

Phase 6: Lilskrtskrt.eth will compile social media engagement over the course of a 3 month period and curate a video that shows nouners, lil nouners, and Get-By workers wearing the new merch and spreading awareness around both nounsDAO and Get-By. This may also include Get-By workers working shifts with Client Businesses while wearing this nifty new merch.

While Lilskrtskrt continues his work in advocacy and launching Get-By he will meet many people involved in the small business ecosystem, the reentry services ecosystem, and the venture capital ecosystem. There are opportunities to discuss the Nouns ecosystem and the democratization of community funded projects along the way, this has already begun.

Phase 7: Video and content will be sharable no longer than 1 month after the end of the Internship Program.

• This video and all engagement will be CCO.

Phase 8: Apply for follow on funding.

Next Steps

• Lilskrtskrt.eth uses raised capital to raise awareness and launch Get-By. Q1 2023 Get-By intends to recruit it’s first cohort of shift workers, no less than 10. These workers will have the option to commit to different shifts listed on the platform.

• If opportunities arise for Web3 “shift” or contract work, those opportunities can be listed on the Get-By platform with payout denominated primarily in USD. This could present a marketing opportunity for projects looking for work who are willing to source through the Web3/NounsDAO ecosystem, in doing so we could prove that they are employing marginalized folks which improves “DEI” efforts.

• In future rounds Get-By may return to the DAO for further support and assistance. This may vary from grant funding for Web3 shifts, to proposals requesting funding for training for workers, to additional merchandise, to developing piloting and implementing a Nouns based Web3 workforce development internship program.

• The scope for future funding requirements has not yet been determined. The total cost to operate the business for a year while employing 10 workers (including payroll taxes) is no less than $30,000 (~23.8ETH)

• Potential future revenue streams for the project may include integrating Lil Nouns or other Nounish subDAO tokens as incentives for shift workers, boosting proliferation, onboarding, and participation and involving a marginalized group of Americans who are often unheard from. There will be opportunities to receive certifications based on skill development such as the Nounishdojo, if integrated, these certifications could drive revenue back to the DAO and provide a training mechanism for underskilled potential workers to upskill to provide more value to the DAO, and Web3 as a whole.

• For future proposals: there may be future potential to create a subDAO around community driven proposals and participation that boost the stories of the formerly incarcerated and work to direct proposals in ways that are mutually beneficial for this group of potential community members.
