Focus:
I will focus on partnering Near with music applications. (and other type of apps if the opportunities arise)
Goals/ Definition of Success:
Ideally I will have 3-5 projects building on NEAR within my first 3 months of business development, partnership planning, and developer outreach. The devs working on these partnerships will be net-new developers to these projects (from NCD, or outside the Near ecosystem)
Process:
I will commit 50-60 hours a month to scouting opportunities, BD outreach to projects and potential partners. And providing guidance as a liaison to the Near ecosystem to projects who show interest in building something that incorporates Near.
On the other side of the people equation, I will scout out developers who can be used to integrate Near into these partnership opportunities. This will involve locating developer sources like “The developer DAO” among others, testing their abilities & communication skills and pairing them with the partner projects. I will refer to many of the learnings Ross has acquired while hiring developers for the growth team.
I will update the growth team on my progress every other day in slack, and will have a weekly 1-on-1 with Ross. When partnerships come out of my work, I will write them up on the Near Forum.
Tasks TLDR:
- Find strategic partners to integrate Near
- Incubate projects building on Near, and ensure they have what they need.
- Find developers to execute these projects
