Scott Moore @ Gitcoin || DAO Interviews #6

Scott Moore is the co-founder of Gitcoin, a platform where communities come together to build and fund the open web.

Scott began his web3 journey back in 2015 after making the jump from the web2 tech space. He found his way into the budding crypto space in Toronto and hasn’t looked back since.

During our talk, Scott gives us his thoughts on dealing with market cycles and explains the iterative nature of the web3 space. Having seen his fair share of bull and bear runs, he offers up some valuable perspective on seeing through the hype and FUD.

We discuss the roles of DAOs and NFTs as tools to create better web3 onboarding, the issues with scaling DAOs too quickly, and what the future of DAOs might look like. We also hit on the spicy topic of DAO leadership and how it differs from the management of traditional organizations.

In regards to Gitcoin, Scott speaks on some of the challenges they have faced as they have progressively decentralized, as well as some positive pivots. He also breaks down some branches of their very active DAO and the workstreams that they have spun up. Scott also gives his thoughts on today’s DAO tooling, scaling communities, and organizing around vibes and values.

Anna Kryukova @ Celo || DAO Talk Interviews #7

Anna Kryukova works on Community & Ecosystem Growth at Celo, a layer 1 blockchain that is building a financial system that creates the conditions for prosperity—for everyone.

As a self-proclaimed “professional at making things up as I go along”, Anna found her way into crypto while doing some freelance marketing and attending early crypto meetups while she traveled. Then when the pandemic hit in 2020 she took the full plunge and got more active in the space, specifically with MakerDAO. After gaining valuable experience contributing to Maker as they decentralized, Anna later transitioned into a full time role at Celo to work on community and ecosystem growth.

Anna gives us the scoop on Celo, including their refi focus and their growing community. Diving into the community side of things, she explains the differences between web2 and web3 communities and the importance of action and participation.

We also discuss the process of decentralizing, on-chain funding, organic content, and the best ways to get started in the Celo ecosystem.
