Hello @marketingdao-council
I’m well aware of the backlogs and multiple proposals you have to attend to, just dropping this off as a reminder and we’ve filled the form as requested couple days ago
Thank you for your time
Apex Trybe is a new but fast growing community with a well-structured and experienced team, capable of building and managing a startup.
As the team lead of this very campaign, with over a year’s experience in the NEAR ECOSYSTEM, I’ve led and also been part of several successful projects on the blockchain, some which were listed in the form that was filled
I totally understand your point of view, but the real question is,
Is this proposal in line with NF’s KPI?
Is the team capable of carrying out and executing the project?
Hi @Dachi i have reviewed your proposal and your replies to comments from council.
I like your enthusiasm and have noted your past work but unfortunately i am unable to support at this time - in the current market conditions we have had to make some hard choices on which projects to allocate funding.
Please continue building your content and feel freel to submit a proposal in the future.
Hi @Dachi – thanks for the proposal and for your patience as we work through the current backlog.
I’ll be straightforward at the top of this reply that I cannot support this proposal at this time. That said, I want to give you my reasoning and a few things to note about the future and possible avenues for funding going forward:
Your team may have the capabilities and experience as mentioned above, but the social accounts and existing content are so early stage that it makes it hard for us to responsibly assess and have confidence around what the outcome will be.
With our new guidelines and budget constraints, we are much more likely to fund projects that have a demonstrated track record, traction, significant growth and enthusiasm from the NEAR community before they come to us to request funding. My perspective is that we are here to fund initiatives that would exist and grow without us, and we are allocating funding to helping them go faster and bigger than they would on their own.
I am also focused on supporting funding for projects that are significantly differentiated from others in the ecosystem – yes, support around NFTs is important, but I want to see a different point of view, specific audience, unique perspective in order to allocate funding at this point as we have already funded numerous generalized NFT initiatives, groups, etc.
Lastly, anything related to paid ads is now out of scope for us
I do encourage you to keep building and consider coming back and submitting a different, restructured proposal in the future.
