  • Why do you want to be a steward of this Working Group:
    I previously worked very closely with the Program Manager of Polygon, where I facilitated the disbursement of approximately $1 million in grants. I have received a grant from IoTeX to establish their grant program and have also worked closely with the Program Manager of Compound Grants Program 2.0. I have spoken to more than 100 builders and teams over the last 6-8 months and understands what it takes to make a grant program successful - from both the program manager and builder perspectives.

As Stewards of Public Goods, I would like to highlight several contributions that I can offer.

Increased transparency: I will strive to maintain more transparency in the grants program and in the allocation of funds. The team and community can easily track how funds are being used and how they contribute to the overall success of the grants program.

Clear evaluation criteria: I will establish clear evaluation criteria for grant proposals to ensure maximum efficiency in evaluating and selecting proposals that align with the goals of the grants program.

Community involvement: I will actively involve the community in decision-making for the grants program through regular communication channels and feedback mechanisms.

Impact measurement: I will prioritize impact measurement and regularly report on the outcomes and impact of the grant program to the community, ensuring accountability and transparency.

Building relationships and empowering builders: I will prioritize building strong relationships with builders, teams, and stakeholders, fostering a culture of collaboration and support within the grants program and the broader ecosystem. I will work to empower builders by providing them with the resources, support, and guidance needed to succeed, and by creating opportunities for them to connect.
