- This could be a fundamental cornerstone of this project
- Tim is key part of the brand
- Filming a docuseries now
- Could be a lead magnet in the future to draw people in
- Creating NFTs could also be a lead magnet into the community

Kind of like Reddit

Phase 2 - DAO
- Have enough people to start a message board
- Create mastermind groups in each department
- Share advice, people can run their own meetings and strategies systems of fixing problems in society
-

How do we signal the values of the project?
- People helping people
- Create value for each other
- As you create more value you evolve to different stages in the community (e.g. baby to commander)
- Visual representation of your NFT that signals your value
- If you stop giving value, you die
- Allow people have ownership in the project
- Opportunity for people to evolve their thought processes

Economics
- NFTs?
- When certain ones die, the other values go up
- But cannot sell unless you want to leave the community
- Then people can buy in to join the community
- Pay your way to live in this community for a few months
- If it’s not for you, you can sell the NFT off
- Value from being part of the community and learning and having the experience

Narrative?
- Be at the forefront of something new and exciting
- Online social club of people that want to change the world
- Real life community of people changing the world

- Cool to be one of the founding members to do stuff
- First batch of people to be living in this in real life
- Elements of prestige - I’ve created the most value and helped the most people and I’m getting rewarded
- Exclusivity through giving and helping
- Transparency and trust
- This person is legit and has done real stuff

Hero Journey
- documentation of Tim’s journey doing it and getting to this point in time
- Reflective of his personal values and what he wants to create moving forward

The Bridge Deck
- Shows his goals and values
- Requirements for being in the starship community

Values
- Don’t care what you do and you are still invited
- This is not a segregated community
- Room for other things, but the list is a starting point

Core brand
- Spaceship as centerpiece
- Different communities are star systems
- 4 different ones
- Tap into alien star seed vibe
- The project is falling from the stars
- Alien babies come down from the sky to land on Earth to build the real life community
- From stars to real life
- Tim sets boundaries, but everything else is flexible
- Different groups can have their own committees and vote on their own
- Have a manifesto
- Inspire others - but not micromanage
- Empower others to be leaders
- Encourage the right people to enhance their leadership

How does Tim’s involvement change over time?
- At beginning he needs to be the figurehead and be highly engaged
- Also making lots of decisions at the beginning
- How does the transfer happen?
- How to decentralize more?
- Needs to be people driving the shift forward
- Inspire others to join and become leaders

Attributes of community
- The bridge can take you across both ways
- IRL people move over to crypto
- Crypto people move over to the real world
- It’s like an online school
- People can learn from each other
- People can ask questions and answer them
- Encouraged to help each other
- Evolve from message board to be more personal

Alien thing is very important to the project
- Already uses lots of space and starship theme
- How does it all fit together?
- But maybe there are multiple batches and people can influence future batches
- Start with something to get people on board and then open to change as the community changes

Branding
- Space is relatable
- Exploration
- Etc
- Aliens may be confusing for people with different ranking system and evolution
- This might be separate from being inclusive to people
- Overall arc
- Don’t focus on the world falling apart
- Create a new platform and vision for creating something new
- Aliens can be a way to view things from a different perspective
- Shape a whole new world
- “I want to build a new world, but maybe I don’t relate to aliens, but it’s fun.”
- The world is ridiculous and aliens are ridiculous
- Quality over quantity

Inclusive community vs hierarchal society
- How to reward people for their efforts
- Give feedback on progress
- Provide incentive to keep moving forward

Leaders need to come first - direct outreach to specific groups and organizations
- Lots of processes and documentation at the beginning

Really believe in the space theme with aliens
- aliens represent looking at things from a whole new
- Not from the lease of a broken world
-

——

Focus around NFTs and tokens and community and other stuff
- How would this go if Tim isn’t leading it long term

Extract more info before considering the next steps
Goal of the sprint is to assess the technical needs going forward

What tools does Tim need to execute this
- How to gather a community to him
- How to incentivize them

——

Star Coins
- Lots of room for insight
- Numbers need to be figured out
- How are the coins distributed?
- We talk this out of how this would work?
- What’s a system that could create value and match the brand.
- What is valued?
- Instruction
- Bringing in new people
- Answering questions
- Leading meetings
- Coins are a signaling system for moving up the ranks
- Need certain amount of coins to evolve to the next level with your alien baby
- Walking, talking, etc
- Could be anything
- Tokens are a value transformation mechanism
- Show status with the NFT
- Is the star coin creating an economy?
- What do people do with the coins after they get them?
- Maybe don’t even need a token?
-

Signaling aspect is the most important part - to show your level of contribution
- Badges
- As seen in armed forces, belts in martial arts
- Visual signals that let people know what you’ve dedicated
- NFTs are great for that
- Powerful tool for bring people to the project
- How to translate this to the real world?
- Devices that can read your NFT in the real world
- Displaying digital artifact that can evolve based on your involvement

Signal involvement in community
Amplify signal based on how much work you put in
Access to online community
Signals providence in the community
Shelling point to gather people to the community
Access to the IRL community

What is the economic incentive?
- Tokenomics
- Bored Ape Yacht Club can do what they do because they build a big treasure
- This enables them to do stuff in the real world

NFT will build the treasury for the project
- Use it to build out the community

Lots of options to build treasury in DEFI
- Can earn 12% with something super secure
- Maybe think about things in the future to grow funds in different ways

Important part of community to build out
- DeFI and investment people to help grow funds

How to get funds
- Bootstrap through NFT sale (can also build that initial following)
- How to grow off of that?
- After have a pool, then you can get into tokens and have something that backs it

Tools needed
- Software for communication and forum
- Way to signal status and membership
- Fund management

What is the forum going to be doing?
- What are people going to be doing?
- Talk about ideas they want to see in the world
- Watching content that can spark discussions
- Present ideas and vote on them

Need to discuss how to use this community effectively and what to do
- Get inspired
- Self organized
- Start little groups
- Incentivize people up front to get this all structured
- Incorporate “classes” that signal your expertise

Tim is totally open on the onboarding
- Don’t know who will show up at the beginning
- How to engage people at the beginning
- Content
- Tim leads at the beginning
- Have different conversations each week about different topics
- Tim starts it and someone takes it from there
- Need to hire a Community Manager
- Hire ASAP
- Need to have this person before community goes live
- Have to be empowered to lead
- This is the first person to find

How to find community manager?
- Someone that has experience working with diverse groups
- Has experience with community formation
- Trend towards experience with Web3
- Maybe work along people that don’t necessarily have web3 experience

Community
- Can join for free
- Just have to apply
- First 1k can get an NFT?

Next Steps
- Debrief and digest everything from the call
- Assess what direction to go (including with marketing)
- What tooling we need from web3

Next Step for community manager
- Build profile of this person
- Then reach out to find people who would could do this
- Where we can find this person - list

Needs help with roles and finding people for different things
- Pricing for different people
-

——

Marketing Ideas

Start with building a following online
- Social media
- Email list
- Etc

Have website that explains the big vision of everything

Then direct people to do things like buy the NFTs and join the discord or apply

=================

Internal Discussion

Brand Perspective (Tom)
- Very challenging
- Hard to have something of value
- With community
- Tim wants to build a leadership community
- But doesn’t want to be online and leading
- Doesn’t seem like he wants to learn more about the web3 space
- Doesn’t understand how much needs to happen here

Chair
- Concern about a lot of hand holding
- Lack of awareness of how communities work in web3 space
- Tim hasn’t been involved in this world

Is there a way to help him
- He has money to spend and he wants to see a community form
- Knows what he wants to see
- Too many unknowns from his side
- We can build something, but will it work
- Is there a MVP version of this

Trying to expand in too many directions without understanding everything

Maybe focus on 1 thing at a time as a starting point
- Either start a community to influence direction moving forward?
- Build a real world space and focus on that to get it live

Need to validate interest in all this first
- Maybe build out the Twitter following and email list
- Get more follower and story and Youtube
- Raise money through donations and grass routes following
- It would be very organic and grassroots way to build community

What can we deliver to him?
- Advise him what to plan for moving forward
- Steps he should take without Raid Guild
- Build out audience
- Learn about the space
- Join a DAO
- Get more familiar with Twitter
- Learn more about NFT art
- Expand world view into web3
- Huge value at no cost
- Deliver tangible document for him that he can take away
- What we think and what he should be doing
