Thank you David for this clarification, I still want us to build more tools that help us to achieve our community goals. You have seen I encourage other members, and help without waiting any reward in a lot of different aspects and projects, and in this regard I will find a way for this to be self sustainable if there is, and this will help the foundation to have funding for other new initiatives that will come. 🖖 🍻

No doubt, you’re an awesome asset to the community.

Since this isn’t in the scope of the Community Fund (IMO), why not consider leveraging the existing assets and communities within the NEAR Ecosystem?

I know @rimberjack just raised 300+ NEAR in a token sale on Skyward. This might come with a little more work but it’s a chance to expand your knowledge base as well as acquire funding.

I’m sure the Legal Guild will be able to support you if you’ve any questions surrounding your project.

Awesome, yeah that’s a way ! 💯

And about the marketing campaign with crypto beers you want us to stop that then ?

I want to clarify that there where 3 craft beer companies involve until now, and 7 different locations. Also, we still have funds and we are about to run 2 more events.

We can still support you on marketing initiatives so long as they adequately include NEAR Protocol and are for the benefit of the ecosystem.

I’m going to move this to `Declined`

Cool, so I can create another proposal to continue with just the initial Crypto Beer Marketing Plan ?

Hi @FritzWorm just re-read your posts and the comments from council members.

As you know, i am passionate about brewing and beer, but i feel that it is also important to remember that the Marketing DAO is about funding projects that build awareness and participation in the NEAR ecosystem.

I hope that you will continue with your ideas for NEAR BEER and organising local festivals and events in Venezuela. Your reports have shown that you have achieved success in this field.

But its probably best to leave conquering the corporate world of brewing for another time 😆

# 2nd day

This is going fast 🤠

### Problem Tree:

Causes → Problem → Effects

- Causes:  
Very **high Financing Costs** from traditional banking systems, with **centralized technology that does not allow freely and open participation** from the stakeholders.

- Problem:  
**People is not able to control, participate or follow closely their investments.** Small Businesses have been systematically ignored or given a hard time by the traditional financial services industry.

- Effects:  
We are all witness of the Representation on the democratic system, that allows **wrong decision making and untrustly management**.

\*\* We are also addressing part of the onboarding barrier using Beer as catalyst and creating an example as how others can take advantage of the blockchain technology.

### Hypothesis and Experiment Development (pending)

Name of test:  
Duration:

We believe that IF:  
THEN the following will occur:  
To test that we will:  
Our Hypothesis will be verified if:

### Origin Stories: Why

About you?

> I am a Blockchain Enthusiast & owner of a Brewery.

> [@\[Forum Meeting\] Near Venezuela Members](http://gov.near.org/t/forum-meeting-near-venezuela-members/13658/2):
>
> Hi there, again stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye I am [Fritz Martin Wagner](https://www.fritzmwagner.com), sharing this time with you from Caracas, Venezuela. Working on the Blockchain Industry since 2016, founded [Bitdharma](https://www.criptonoticias.com/regulacion/equipo-publico-privado-inicia-trabajo-blockchain-venezuela-semana/), selling [mining equipment](https://medium.com/coinmonks/how-to-create-a-crypto-miner-from-other-world-a-pc-wall-mounted-diy-6c3136c8f3ab) and lead some early venezuelan development projects like [D-Wallet](https://papagayonews.com/d-wallet-la-aplicacion-que-busca-innovar-en-el-mundo-de-las-criptomonedas-en-venezuela/). I started computer engineering career and ended up finishing in Production Engineer (Industrial focused on Business), adding later a Corporate Finances Studies. Experience on UI/UX, design, Front-end development, P…

How you personally came to care about the problem you are trying to solve?

> I had fun with the Crypto Beer project, it was just made to have fun and create connections with people, onboarding NEARcomers and building our community by taking advantage that we have our own Brew House. Later, I found this is indeed a good marketing plan as several members of the community are looking forward to run it on their own cities, and I want to be able to help them, and this to be a self sustainable project, then why not to create a company owned by the community and the principal activity of the company, which is to sell crypto beer, will help the NEAR community to run this marketing campaign.

Why is this problem important to you?

> I wish we all can learn about crypto, have fun with natural & safety beverages, and be part of business partnerships with full confidence that everything is crystal clear

Why now? Why was this the time to act to solve this problem?

> Right now I finally had the opportunity to be part of an awesome community and build my own Guild and be part of several awesome teams

What was the urgency?

> There is no urgency really, things need to be made step by step in order to grow organically and avoid to give a wrong step that could damage all the hard work.

Why were you best equipped to solve it?

> I am Production Engineer, Blockchain Entrepeneur and owner of a Brewery… and this is about running a Craft Beer Company with on-chain decisions and management.

Vision

> A world where DAOs are the way Institutions, Fundations, Companies, Governments and Organizations make decisions

### Value Proposition

We sell Crypto Beer to NEARcomers, Blockchain Enthusiasts and Craft Beer fans  
NEARcomers dont know much about Crypto  
Blockchain Enthusiasts wish to participate even more  
And Craft Beer fans wish to try new flavours and meet cool people  
So, the legacy financial system, the centralized tech, and the crypto onboarding barriers are the problem.  
We solve the seed-funding issue through DAOs and the onboarding difficulties chilling a good beer with a nice talk  
NEARcomers learn more about Crypto, Blockchain Enthusiast had a great being part of the event or even as owners of the Community Company, and Craft Beer fans enjoyed the drinks  
We are different because we are owned and runned by a community.

- Product: Crypto Beer & Company DAO features
- Customer: NEARcomers & Blockchain Enthusiasts (Community)
- Problem: Legacy Banking and Centralized Management
- Solution: Crypto Beer Events & Company owned by the community

### Intro Pitch

> My name is Fritz Wagner. I’m Engineer and Blockchain Entrepeneur, leading the Crypto Beer Near Company.
> 
> Our Customers have a problem and it is that **they wish to have Crypto Beer on their Cities and that they want to be partners on this adventure**
> 
> We solve that problem by offering shares as tokens, and the control of the company from a DAO with those tokens, thus able to build partnerships with other breweries and build new Crypto Beer Breweries around the world.
> 
> We’re different because we have a production design that needs low investment and high capacity and we have experience on the blockchain industry, thus we are able to run this business model on the web3.
> 
> The market we’re entering into is the craft beer market that will reach $92 billion in 2025, also from the approach of Crypto that is also a huge market, both growing fast.
> 
> We make money by selling Crypto Beer and other fermented beverages.
> 
> We have already our first Brewery and few partnerships and look forward to talking with you further.

### Differentiating Factors (3)

1. Efficient: Low investment Brewery with high capacity
2. Process: Web3 Business Management
3. Niche: Crypto Beer will attract crypto enthusiast and craftmade fermented beverages fans.

Awesome @FritzWorm

I’m very excited.

Just as explained is part of what I had thought in my dreams.

Don’t forget about the NFT’s market based on the registration of the production chain for the origin of each brand of craft beer. Perhaps we should think about this better.

This is the opportunity for all small craft brewers to come together under NEAR Crypto Beer DAO.

We will continue working, count on me 🍻
