Love to see it!
Especially love the idea that “Our revenue streams must exceed our operational costs.”, not just be net zero.
My main criticism is that the post doesn‘t even mention $GTC, which is imo an important part of the picture for these reasons:
- Aligning the Gitcoin ecosystem
- Making Gitcoin less prone to governance attacks
- Raising morale by making long term believers whole
- Increases of treasury, free marketing & other things that come with having a token with good price action
More thoughts outlined in the Regenerating $GTC post
I think it would also be worth looking into how Gitcoin is spending those $4.5m/yr & try to get that lower instead of just increasing the $1m/yr of revenue. Seems like a lot for whats happening tbh.
As has been general practice and demonstrated by Marc of Aave as well, first comes cost-cutting, then revenue growth. Maybe they can be done concurrently, but the high spend def shouldn‘t just fly under the radar.
Tl;dr I love the post, but also have decently sized concerns:
- No mention of GTC
- Glazing over current burn rate
