Several meetings with Petgas-mx. Lots of research and relationship building. An incredible product and service looking to utilize web3 architecture to scale their community and turn plastic liquid. (play on words, they both transform plastic into fuels but also are giving used plastic a value, which they wish to tokenize to run their ecosystem). Would be a great opportunity for BD ecosystem

The bulding of our team with Amber Brandner. internal discussion, identifying our mission and mandate. We have effectively dabbled in all regions of NEAR, BD education, BD business & internal innovations and are currently trying to better format where & how we fit in this whole NEAR ecosystem

Lots of learning and reading about NEAR. the wiki, main website, videos, discord, engaging in meeting with community members. building relationships, meetings with community members and leader to better understand NEAR’s current state.
There are a number of other project leads in development. Apart from developing a few fast track grants for some initiatives, focus is on better understanding the needs and current state of the NEAR ecosystem and how to engage these larger projects with it. The refining of our own mandate within this system and understanding the appropriate pathways via which to operate.
I’ll be honest, im not the best at these reports and am open to any constructive criticism. I never did like writing a CV or cover letter. Thank you for your time
