--- title: Mystic Whales Weekly Sync 13-10 tags: mystic wales, sync --- # Mystic Whales Weekly Sync 13-10 ## Project Updates **WhaleStreet DAO** `Deal closed` - DAO launched (1st 6 members are organisations) - DAO infographics are WIP - Dreamverse Event are upcoming in New York - DAO's governance model require custom development & testing - was a challenge to implement it in a clear way for WhaleStreet team & future DAO members - [ ] DG/Yalor - Finalise scope of customisations / product integrations before setting up Labs on DAOhaus Discord - Product Integration: Boosts vs Hard Fork - Co-promotion (e.g. WhaleStreet on HausParty) **Polygon DAO** `Awaiting Proposal Revisions` - Nemo mentioned that budget seems high ($80K between DAI/MATIC) & we need to reprioritise workstreams (more help needed on tokenomics) - On pricing, better to have MATIC tokens (more palatable for Polygon team & it's relatively stable for us) - [x] All - Arrange a call with PolygonDAO this Thursday/Friday to run through scope - [x] Amos - After call, Re-define scope, priorities & timelines and sync with Sydney on BD/token economics workstreams ## Process **BD Pipeline & Process (GSheet)** - Process - Sales Convo - Email / Scheduling - 1st Meeting (Sales Template / Project Charter via Hackmd) - Proposal V1 - Revision / Client Call - Proposal V2 - Decision / Client Onboarding - Roles & responsibilities - Project Lead: After scheduling / 1st meeting, Project Lead should be in charge of client communications, project charter, planning and accountability - Sydney: Should be the final editor across projects before sending of Proposals (esp. financials) - Yalor: Centralised accounting function for now (Receipt of payments, Paying of members, conversion of retainer to WETH, treasury management) **Project Charter** - When proposing a quote, **refrain from itemising & breaking down budget to clients** as this triggers them to pick & choose to narrow down scope - On pricing, **propose a high amount & negotiate down** (rather than the other way round) - 1% of token supply is good for pre-launch tokens, but toom uch for existing projects - Within couple of days, Dystopia went from pre-launch stage to launch, so 1% became more expensive after changes - In the future, we should create process / charter templates for different types of clients - Early-stage teams (e.g. Dystopia) - Medium-sized teams (e.g. MetaFactory) - Large clients (e.g. Polygon) **General Discussion** - What is a good communication cadence? (Case in point: We took 10 days to respond to Dystopia) - We should aspire to daily checkins over text or 5 minute watercoolers for accountabilty - Are there other projects in pipeline? - Happy to onboard new clients towards end of 60/90 days but blocked now - [ ] Amos - Document the processes out for greater clarity (as extension to note-taking)
