### Big Picture
- What problem are you trying to solve?
    - Increase representation of neuro-divergent and disabled people in areas such as media exposure, etc. 
    - End segregation between disabled and non-disabled, so that everyone can come together
    - Economic independence, so that neuro-divergent artists can get income from areas like secondary sales of NFT
- Who are your key stakeholders?
    - Neuro-divergent & disabled community 
    - Artists & creatives 
    - People who enjoy social impact 
    - People who enjoy fine art 
- Who is your end user?
    - Neuro-divergent artists
    - Extend to neuro-divergent people in general
    - General new-to-web3 people 
- What is the business model? How do you, or will you monitize?
    - NFT collective, takes 30% in royalty on primary sales. Trying to be more than an agency
    - Service: Collect art, marketing, sales
    - 1st batch: Selling 150 pieces for 2K each across 20 artists.  300K revenue, 100K profit for 1st batch
    - Drop is not done yet. Need advisory on formats
    - Future: Onboard new artists and enable the OG artists to leave the nest. Special drops on non-art NFTs. Events
    - Cohort structure (seasons).
- How do you currently measure results?
    - Not sure if we need this one right now
- What are your current capital requirements?
    - Budget & operating requirements TBD 
    - Founder salary: Needs to be figured out - working at 9 months without pay (studying and working on the side). Wants it to be a good amount (emotional costs on the work)
    - Fundraising: Wants to stick with grants & sponsorships without touching investments at this moment

### Current Environment
- Describe the people in the DAO today? 
    - Justin (Alchemist accelerator): There since Day 1, but providing advice on request 
    - John (Google CTO): Recent advisor, but wants to be involved. Interested in the network, marketing and press resources
- How many are contributors?
    - 15 - 20 Artists: 
        - Can get more involved on Discord beyond just producing art
        - Focused on any kind of art 
        - Started with DM-ing people from the Instagram page. Onboarded these folks onto Discord
    - Contributors: Mainly just Ava, as other contributors have joined for the wrong reason 
    - Would love to hire for admin, marketing and community management 
    - What are their responsibilities?
- What are you doing well today and where can you improve?
- What challenges do you come across on a daily basis?
    - Onboarding contributors today, but not in an organized way (cohorts?)
    - Hiring contributors / community managers 
    - How to have more time 
    - No clarity on operating budget & requirements 
- What roadblocks are you facing today?
    - Discord beef: Autistic guy on Twitter started asking a lot of questions that went onto Discord. Comments became pretty extreme. but this brought the community closer.
    - Seems like there is generally a desire for neuro-divergent people to lead neuro-divergent causes

### Goals
- Tell me about your goals?
    - Financial, operational?
    - Launch the NFT drop at ETH Amsterdam on April 18 (TBD) with marketing, etc. 
    - Launch a DAO and community, but needs to think about what this should look like. The neuro-divergent people should feel empowered to do things (e.g. running the DAO, curating new artists)
    - Experiment with new ideas (e.g. IRL events)
- When would you like to achieve these goals?
- What would a perfect outcome look like in your work?
- **What do you want to get out of this program?**
    - take it from being a project to be a full on business. ops sorted, marketing, connections.
    - Balance between being authentic and business minded
