DAOHQ

mission

Our mission is to facilitate mass adoption of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and so our researchers are plugged in to the DAO ecosystem.

current challenges

We believe that DAOs are joint-stock companies on chain & represent the future of work and investment. However, DAOs are currently scattered across social media, small decentralized exchanges, and manage voting on an array of crypto-native tools.

We're aim to go into a world where almost everyone is an owner, investor, and team member simultaneously. People will find DAO work opportunities that align with their passions & level of time commitment. Anyone can invest in a project, join an investment DAO, or back a social enterprise with as little as $1. People will work at 1-3 DAOs for income & invest in 10+ out of personal interest.

culture & values

• We value integrity. With our trust, all of our meetings and notes are open.
• We love sharing. We have free snacks, office space (obviously), hackathons, offsites, happy hours, and tool sharing. We have our own library!
• We work hard, so we let you work in the way you work best. We have flexible hours, work from home, and practically unlimited vacation.
