PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION This AIP aims to increase the size of the DAO treasury by way of equity participation in a highly scalable business model, founded by two very active ApeCoin & Mocaverse community members with successful track records for building and selling companies at profit. Additionally, this AIP directly helps to onboard new community members into the DAO and provides significant exposure for the ApeCoin and Mocaverse ecosystems to venture capital and consumer markets.

The Public Bored aims to make displaying content on any digital billboard in the world, as easy as sending a tweet. We discovered serious pain points in the billboard industry while owning a previous company. Our business model is a marketplace for billboard owners to increase their revenue and to open up access to a much larger TAM (total addressable market), like an AirBNB for digital billboards. Our path to $100M ARR is to expand to approximately 20 cities. We are both repeat successful founders with notable experience relating to this field.

Our 2-minute pitch was featured on a major tech-startup podcast called This Week in Startups (TWIST), hosted by the prolific Angel Investor Jason Calacanis. Listen using the YouTube link below:
