Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining: I’m interested in participating in Gitcoin Governance because I’ve seen the power of Open Source in Web2 firsthand through my involvement with the analytics/data infrastructure companies I’m invested in. I want to be a part of creating/improving upon that ecosystem in Web3. I’m in whole-hearted alignment with the vision of building & funding the open web, and hope to play a role in creating financial freedom for humans in the process.
What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have : I bring an investor lens to Web3, but not your typical hands-off-investor-who-doesn’t-want-to-get-their-hands-dirty. I’ve begun getting involved in a more hands-on way in several communities in the crypto world, and I’m actively writing about crypto. The skills I have that are most relevant to the steward role come from my Web2 experience: as a VC, I’m very engaged in governance / board involvement with multiple private companies, and I’d love to play a role in shaping the uncharted territory of DAO governance.
