What is the process of getting funding?

• Post your idea on the forums to get initial feedback from other community members; tweet at us, message us etc. We usually chat and provide very quick feedback in regards to whether the project would be in the scope of funding.

• We’ll usually reach out to jump on a video call with you and within 2-3 days within the call, you can expect either a strong yes signal of interest (90%+ which receive this get funding) or a response that it is not a fit.

• Submit a proposal on-chain through the DAOHaus platform

• If you get a strong yes signal from us, we’ll likely provide feedback and also have additional feedback for the project before we commit to a grant.

Just to add a little update,
The DAO has added pods, with specific focuses, like events and products. Some grants do go through the main DAO, but over the last months, most grants have gone through these pods.
