Our mission is to democratize access to space technology, foster an open innovation ecosystem, and enable a thriving community of researchers, developers, and enthusiasts to propel the frontiers of human knowledge and capability in space.\n\n#### Objectives\n\n1. **Community Building in Deep-Tech:** \n\nWe\u2019re building a community focused on decentralization and space exploration, leveraging DeSci partner platforms for open dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.\n\n2. **Space DAO Incubator Program:** \n\nWe\u2019re launching and managing the first Space DAO Incubator, a program designed to support and accelerate space-related research communities by providing funding, mentorship, and access to a network of industry experts.\n\n3. **Decentralized Science Tools for Academia:** \n\nWe\u2019re utilizing decentralized science (DeSci) tools to promote open science principles, facilitating the tokenization of academic papers and intellectual property to ensure transparency, accessibility, and innovation in scientific research and our affiliated space-focused communities.\n\n#### Key Initiatives\n\n- **Deep-Tech Community Forums and Workshops:** \n\nWe're organizing virtual and physical meetings to discuss new trends and technologies around space governance, share research, and collaborate on joint projects.\n\n- **Space DAO Incubator:** \n\nWe launched a comprehensive support system for emerging blockchain spacetech projects, providing resources such as seed funding, token engineering frameworks, market making and go-to-market strategies.\n\n- **Tokenization of Research and IP:**\n\nBy Implementing blockchain-based platforms to tokenize research outputs and intellectual property, we're making them freely accessible for academic advancement and commercial exploration while ensuring our communities are rewarded and recognized for their contributions.\n\nWe focus on big tech areas like earth, environmental, and space sciences. This gives us special help to those making decentralized science tools.\n\n#### Achievements\n\nWe supported ecosystem growth in Decentralized Science and Space with the use of Gitcoins Grants Stack and the latest DeSci and Space grant rounds on Gitcoin.\n\nWe're building a strong community and toolset to accelerate scientific progress and the pace of innovation to utilize Space technologies such as satellite imagery for impact measurement and verifications!\n\n#### The Path Forward\n\nWe believe that by being open, transparent and working together, we can do big things in Space for the benefit here on Earth. That's also the reason why we're supporting the newcomers of the Decentralized Space Exploration ecosystem with guidance and initial funding.\n\n#### Space-focused Pop-Up Cities\n\nDVDAO Space DAO Incubator Program at ZuVillage Georgia (Science Week, August 2024)\n\n#### Objective:\n\nLooking ahead, the DVDAO Space DAO Incubator Program is set to expand during the ZuVillage Georgia Space track as part of Science Week in August 2024.\n\n#### Details:\n\nActivities: Workshops, collaborative sessions, and project presentations focusing on decentralized space governance and innovation.\n\n#### Outcomes:\n\n- Increased community engagement.\n\n- Onboarded new SpaceDAOs.\n\n - Fostered partnerships with educational and research institutions.\n\n - Future Objectives and Reliance on Grant Funding\n\nTo continue this incredible journey, Deep Venture DAO relies on continued grant funding. Our future objectives are ambitious, and with your support, we can achieve them:\n\n#### 1. Expansion of the Space DAO Incubator:\n\n- Goal: Onboard more SpaceDAOs and provide them with necessary resources and support.\n\n- Funding Requirement: $10,000 for additional funding rounds, expert consulting, and operational costs.\n\n#### 2. Development of Advanced DeSci Tools:\n\n- Goal: Enhance existing tools and develop new ones to facilitate more efficient and transparent research processes.\n\n- Funding Requirement: $15,000 for research and development, integration, and user training.\n\n#### 3. Community and Ecosystem Growth:\n\n- Goal: Expand our community and strengthen our ecosystem through strategic partnerships, outreach, and engagement activities.\n\n- Funding Requirement: $10,000 for community-building initiatives, events, and marketing.\n\n#### 4. Implementation of New Quadratic Funding Rounds:\n\n- Goal: Conduct additional quadratic funding rounds to support a wider range of space-related projects.\n\n- Funding Requirement: $75,000 for matching funds, platform maintenance, and promotional activities.\n\n#### Accelerated Scientific Progress\n\nUltimately, we envision a future where decentralized methods are transforming venture building and corporate innovation. Using rapid prototyping, we can speed up advancements in hardtech. The goal is to make open, shared, and cooperative design, engineering, and production a reality, moving from fiction to fact with global innovation communities.\n\n#### Impact\n\n- **Enhancing Accessibility:** By breaking down barriers to entry for space technology and research, we empower a diverse range of participants to contribute to and benefit from space-related advancements.\n\n- **Promoting Open Science:** Our commitment to using DeSci tools aligns with global movements towards open science, ensuring that research materials and data are openly shared to accelerate scientific progress.\n\n- **Fostering Innovation:** Through the Space DAO Incubator, we support groundbreaking projects that push the boundaries of what is possible in space governance and research.\n\n#### Why Gitcoin?\n\nSupport from the Gitcoin community would enable Deep Venture DAO to expand its reach and impact, secure necessary funding for the Space DAO Incubator, and enhance the development and adoption of DeSci tools. Our alignment with Gitcoin\u2019s ethos of open source and community-driven projects makes this proposal a strategic step towards achieving mutual goals in the realm of open and decentralized science.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "DeepVenture-DAO", "projectTwitter": "DeepVentureio"}, "recipient": "0xAe90CeC6d54633C8fFb5F55C69DB296775A2B4F0"}}
