## Name of DAO

Beta DAO

## Proposal overview

Mission - Help pre-founders with a Chinese background turn their ideas into a reality.

Beta DAO is an open-source, community-led, and self-sustaining community for pre-entrepreneurs. The mission adheres to “innovative talents turn ideas into reality here,” and is committed to building an ecological network for outstanding young people who want to make the world different. Beta DAO is built on the token and based on a Discord server that everyone can get access to and started to contribute. Each member of the Beta DAO will have the opportunity to buy the BETA token(HRC 20), thereby investing in the community after Beta DAO has its Initial Coin Offering. Before that, Beta is going to mint its own NFT(HRC 721) as a representation for the membership. Each NFT can be redeemed for one year of Beta Fellowship’s membership and therefore enjoy all the benefits that Beta Fellowship members have.

Within the community are entrepreneurs, investors, alongside other people from various backgrounds - basically, anyone with an interest in empowering projects that could potentially change the world. In Beta DAO, you can meet like-minded people in your industry, network with investors and successful entrepreneurs, find new partners, get business advice on how to make your startup in better shape, or help project ideas to become reality.

For now, Beta had successfully initiated its community in web2. We have a bit less than 1000 paid members in the community and continue to deliver bi-weekly speaker events. At the same time, we are collaborating with famous venture capital firms, startup communities, and successful entrepreneurs to empower our community. We are now deploying our success in building the web2 community into the web3 world. We are currently building our discord server and planning to make the server public to our members within two weeks. We are also accepting Harmony ONE for Beta Fellowship’s membership on our website. For this part, we will need some help from Harmony since the current Harmony Pay WooCommerce Plug-in does not work.

**Mandates**  
**Community -** Onboarding entrepreneurs, investors, and people who are interested in contributing to startup ideas to help pre-entrepreneurs.

**Education -** Teaching courses on the essential materials that pre-entrepreneurs must know.

**Bounties -** Letting each of the DAO members empower each other’s startup ideas and get rewarded

**Community:** There will be community-building events, mentorships, online open platforms for members to engage with each other. The community will be based on a Discord server that everyone can join. It’s a platform for all the members to communicate and connect. The Discord channel will be linked with the official Beta DAO Twitter account for announcements. The governors will also host community calls on the Discord channel. Within the community, Beta DAO members can meet other people that share their values.

**Education:** We provide education through recorded lectures, seminars, workshops, and various events among community members. Here, you can learn about how to implement your idea into reality. Members will also have the chance to participate in real-life projects to learn through the process. Starting from March 15, we are hosting our Pre-entrepreneur spring cohort in our discord server.

**Bounties:** The bounty economy is one of the core values that Beta DAO can deliver to its members. The bounty board allows Beta members with sufficient tokens to post the task and reward for other members to contribute to his project. Whoever wants to contribute to the bounty task and claim the reward should first hold a sufficient amount of token in his wallet and staking the same amount of token for the project as the reward. If the task is not fulfilled, then the staker will be punished by losing all the tokens he staked for the project.

@Sam @DevinMarty Hi, my name is Jane and I’m in charge of Beta DAO. For now, we are trying to set up the payment gateway for our website. Initially, we were trying to use the Harmony Pay WooCommerce plug-in, but that does not work. Our team found another Metamask WooCommerce plug-in but that one does not support Harmony ONE. Is there any suggestion on how we can solve this problem?

Hello @itsJane –

This DAO is very interesting and I think we are almost there to help fund you.

As a reminder - we should always make sure to review the **[DAO Funding Guidelines](https://harmonyone.notion.site/DAO-Funding-Guidelines-29b343e96fd54c7e970822b188291ddb)** and see how your proposal can fit into the Guidelines.

The _entire_ post has relevant information - but, in particular, for a **Bootstrap Grant** , you should focus on the following:

1. **Mandates:** 3 mandates. Specific. Precise. Each mandate to have two sub-clauses to provide further clarification on these mandates. All three mandates and their sub-clauses should fit within a tweet.

2. **Deliverables:** Looking forward for the next 3 months only, identify key deliverables **directly tied to the mandates of your DAO** that you will be focused on accomplishing. Be specific. Chart, in steps, how you will get from where you start to delivering your goal.

3. **Metrics:** Quantifiable and verifiable. List the “stretch goal” metrics that you and your DAO will be using to measure your impact in furthering your mandate. Low bars of success indicate a certain level of disengagement, while high bars and stretch goals indicate confidence in yourself and your community to accomplish that about which you are passionate.

4. **Governors** : List the 9 governors that will start your DAO. **NOTE: As we have said in the DAO Funding Guidelines ([Guidelines for Harmony Grants](https://www.notion.so/Guidelines-for-Harmony-Grants-73057076b970474db8959471fb8a85b4)) being a governor is not about having a part-time job.** Think about your three mandates and try to find passionate individuals that have the skillset and expertise to help you accomplish those goals.

5. **Gnosis Safe Multisig Wallet** : Establish a multisig wallet that requires 5 out of the 9 governors to approve the disbursement of funds.

6. **Schedule the Next Election** : DAOs are not kingdoms. The initial governors do not rule by divine right, nor are they supposed to be “Governors-for-Life”. DAOism is about community. About passionate participation in projects. It is vital that we have a regular rotation of community members experiencing the responsibility of managing the DAOs treasury.

Some of these, you have. I would encourage you to modify your post to add clear, measurable metrics to your 3 month deliverables. I would also encourage you to post when your first election will take place.

I look forward to further engaging with you on this ride!  
Sam

Thank you, @itsJane for the quick response! Those metrics are 🔥

I would like to address this segment:

> [@itsJane](#):
>
> ### Next Election:
> 
> Beta DAO governors will serve for a 6-month-term. Each members of the DAO can run for governors including the present governors.

Specifically, the **6 month term**. In order to receive a DAO bootstrap fund there is particular criteria that needs to be met.

> Governors are recommended to participate in 3-month election terms, suggest peer bonuses via performance feedback, 80% passing votes, and openly tracking timesheets and deliverables for each member.

Would the governors of the current Beta DAO be open to having **3 month terms** as recommended, [here](https://harmonyone.notion.site/Guidelines-for-Harmony-Grants-73057076b970474db8959471fb8a85b4).

Looking forward to your response! 💙

@Sam @frwrdslosh  
Hi just a quick update, we hosted an event last night and there were 140+ people attending. We are starting the spring cohort for pre-entrepreneurs on Discord on March 15 (2 days later). We want to bring more people on-chain through the spring cohort, now we have 120+ people registered. Is there any additional information you need?

Thank you for the ping!

Harmony is excited and privileged to announce that the Beta DAO has been approved for a **$75K grant based on this proposal**.

I would also like to take this opportunity to bring to light an internal discussion the Harmony DAO Ops team has been having. **As of March 10th, the DAO funding guidelines is considered restructured**.

For those reading and waiting for a response on their DAO proposal, please be on the look out for updated guidelines 🔜

Thank you! We just hosted a Web3 event today at Beverly Hills. There were about 80+ people attend the event. And some Metamask guys showed up. We are very happy that our value can be recognized by the Web3 community and can’t wait to contribute more in the future.
