RoadMap and Plans to Utilise Celo Ecosystem.

B<>rder/ess will leverage Celo Dev Tooling resources to provide education and inspiration resources aimed at producing young people every quarter who are competent in building solutions on CELO, and we’ve created a strategy to make this possible in 4 Phases;

Goal 1: B<>rder/ess Web3 Tech Clubs and Integrations (Community & User Education Strategy on interacting with CELO ecosystem)

Goal 2: CELO Themed Developer Programme and Dev Bootcamp (Education)

Goal 3: CELO Themed Hackathons and Event (Deployment)

Goal 4: Certification and Business Dev Mentorship (Go to Market strategies)

This strategy gives CELO;

Builders
Users
Products
Marketing
Updates and contributions to CELO deployment documentation and Repos.
Borderless Physical Hub

A developer’s hub to produce at least 20 young students in Africa every quarter skilled in writing Smart Contracts on CELO with Rust & JavaScript.

They’d gain knowledge of CELO, and Interface designs, and gain experience in building with CELO SDKs.

Every quarter, Borderless CELO Event A Dev/Finance Event

Our events will showcase usable products built on CELO, attract users, award devs, and increase transactions, including ticket payments, NFT claims, on-chain gaming and more.

B<>rder/ess Web3 Tech CLubs

B<>rder/ess has Tech Clubs in 6 Universities in Nigeria, we could run the same activity we’re running in Port-Harcourt in those universities, using the same budget.

If you’d like to start with both the Port-Harcourt location and another city/state, we can run the same strategy below through our tech clubs in that State.


ROADMAP AND STRATEGY

1. Product Discovery (Dev & Small Business Meet-ups)		
The goal here is to identify from local businesses what solutions they would like developed, this way we avoid the problem of building solutions small businesses can’t use.

2. Focus Group style meetups plus User education
Narrow down 3 products that will be developed during the BootCamp sessions.

Gives us ready users of the products when they are ready.
Provides a quicker roadmap to deployment and user acquisitions.
Provides available Testers and Users

3. Phase 2 Cipher Sessions and Boot Camp
Physical and Virtual training and DevRel sessions.

4. Monthly “CELO Stars” Meetups
Monthly Developer Podcasts sessions


5. Marketing materials and campaigns
We deploy referral-based strategies like how exchanges have listing bounties. If developers are referred to take our program and go through with it, the referrals earn rewards.

We’d run community marketing activities, thread contests and more.
