        * John, do research to see if we can get a grant
6. Opportunity discussion - John
7. Next Roadmap + Funding Requirements / Roles / Etc
    * open document for next week to drop in ideas for roadmap

        * update the Github issues list?
    * next week have call to discuss and decide what is realistic

            * ideally have continual delivery with website and keep updating it
            * John look at Figma (George is familiar with this tool and can code the site) if we do this for design and then code it ourselves
        * Where to see how much usage SI is getting?
            * website tracking for visitors?
                * ask Dan or Scott
            * look at factory contract to see invoices completed
    * Login details (Domain, email, Twitter, etc)
        * not sure who has access? Dan or Spencer?
    * What is arbitration amount to LexDAO? -> 5% (minimum amount? will need to note this inside of our app so that there is a risk in the escrow)
        * figure out how to show in the UI if there is a minimum or something, as the escrow is being created
        * need to open discussion with LexDAO about this
    * Any issues with SI right now? Saw something broke with SE last week
        * no issues for SmartInvoice
        * Issue with SE was with DungeonMaster
9. Next Steps
    * Review OpenQ and see if any collaboration opportunities, take notes for discussion for next call
        * share efforts for onboarding arbitrators

## Smart Invoice Call - April 5, 2022

**Meet in RaidGuild Hacking2 Voice Chat @ 5pm PT / 8pm ET**

Smart Invoice: https://smartinvoice.xyz/
Smart Escrow: https://smartescrow.raidguild.org/
Github: https://github.com/raid-guild/smart-invoice
Scoping Doc: https://hackmd.io/CfUo7bo6SPu2ibIwLITV_g

**Attendees:**
* John (launchninja) - host
* Plor - experience working with invoice startup, aspiring smart contract work, good with project management, some availability
* georgeh - full stack, smart contracts, back/front end, S4 cohort, defi project experience (around payments, subscriptions)
* spengrah (Spencer) - no time to work on this, motivated to see this turn into a thing - can provide guidance / advisory role, was his baby for a bit, project management with some solidity and broader technical perspective
* Tufnel_Enterprises (Peter) - S4 cohort, smart contracts, react front end, 
* WillyB - S4 cohort, working on Tavern Keeper for a bit, working on marketing (design, video, content creation, brand vision), project management, Willdro invited him to this call, in college so iffy on availability - can probably find the time



### Agenda:
1. Current Project Status
    * Who has worked on Smart Invoice / Escrow up to this point?
        * dan13ram
        * manolingam
        * alceru
        * spencer
        * Bingo
        * Jaqi
    * What is currently being worked on?
        * no movement last few months
    * What bugs need to be fixed?
2. Future Project
    * Who wants to be involved moving forward?
        * What roles? What availability?
    * What is our overall vision for Smart Invoice?
        * original vision - improve freelance experience (for workers and clients), minimize risk, create a much less trustfull situation - break down comp and work in smaller bits and have safe credible way to handle disputes
        * fundamentally service provider contractor relationship
            * financial flexibility for contractors based on this infrastructure
            * locked up money is usable somehow while stuff is being built
            * different types of collateral
        * onramp to web3
        * common solution for everyone freelancing
        * less of a burdon than a formal written contract with attorney and litigation
    * What is the revenue model?
        * Percentage (5%, 3%, 1%)? -> 1-3% (maybe do this to start?)
            * standard in space
        * Fixed fee ($20, $10)? - no
        * Raid Token staking somehow?
        * TVL (earn yield on funds sitting in escrow)? -> worth exploring (avoid race to bottom if people fork because we have high fees)
            * fairly easy to capture interest on this
                * free to users, but RG earns interest
                * highly dependent on how long money sits in escrow (less interest earned for short period of time)
                    * Yearn / Ave?
                    * gas costs factor in to reduce earnings further
                    * 2 tier model? fee upfront, then potential interest
        * FREE public good (get grants or sponsorships to fund ongoing maintenance / work?)
            * Smart Invoice is free now -> only fee is to arbitor (5% fee of funds under dispute if gets pushed to them)
        * "Factoring" - Accounts Receivable as collateral for money now (take fixed percentage off of invoice) - cash advance in form of a loan
            * What's the risk? -> Fraud of issuing invoice but not paying it (if money is locked up, could invoice be used for collateral that they don't plan to deliver)
                * money could be lost of something breaks and someone doesn't fulfill their promise
    * How might future revenue or value be distributed to previous and existing contributors?
3. Roadmap
    * What new features do we want to include?
        * start with issues list in Github
        * arbitration providers
        * PDF of invoice
        * support / flexibility for new milestones
        * recurring billing / retainers / subscriptions / installments / 
        * streaming like superfluid
        * better documentation / processes for using tool on both sides of transaction
        * verify wallet assigned to release can actually do it - not allow do deposit funds until verified (extra step around this)
    * How will we market / promote this tool?
        * direct outreach to other DAOs / influencers / platforms / content creators
        * web2 communities
        * web3 onboarding sites / communities / influencers
        * web3 freelancers -> freelancing platforms sponsorship / cross promotion
        * Opolis promotion
        * sponsorship / interviews
        * content creation -> SEO (Willy knows someone who does SEO)
4. Funding
    * How much do we need right now? ($50k? $100k?)
        * What are we trying to accomplish?
    * Where can we get funding?
        * RaidGuild?
            * depends on features that make things easier for RG
        * Yeeter?
            * if we front load marketing - we could build up audience and then use this to fund future development
        * DAOhaus boost
            * could be a good tool for them - be a distribution channel - other DAOs could be interested
            * would need to build a new UI to fit with them
            * grant from Uberhaus to build this integration
        * MetaCartel?
        * Gitcoin? Quadratic funding round?
            * have gotten donations from this before
        * MolochDAO [Grants Round](https://medium.com/molochdao/upcoming-molochdao-grants-round-eb8565fc103c) - due April 15

        * ?
5. Next Steps
    * Finalize roadmap
        * Plor - roadmap with budget for diferent milestones
            * Need to scope out project first
    * Create funding proposal
        * John - works on this
