Hello @LuukDAO
Thanks for the comments and the feedback, much appreciated. We will be updating the proposal soon.
Regarding the initial feedback
- We studied Celatam’s Season report 0, understanding their focus and roadmap, we plan to enhance broader CeLatam efforts by addressing unique local challenges and opportunities in the Mexican context with a Regional DAO specifically focused on Mexico as it is a big region with multiple fronts to cover. As a proof of this, we texted Marcelo beforehand, seeking to align initiatives in a coordinated way with Celatam, and him accepting to become our advisor, ensuring no overlap between Celo Mexico and Celatam.
- Our past initiatives as community builders and Regen leaders in the Mexican cryptospace set a unique tone for representing Celo in the Mexico region, as we have penetrated ground with previous initiatives, such as MotusDAO in collab with ReFi Mexico, while focusing on Real World builders, regens, and dev communities. Our previous work with ReFi Mexico also involves traveling different parts of Mexico to onboard farmers and other key stakeholders for the regeneration frameworks looking to create a bigger network. Not only that, but also hosting successful meet ups, attracting multiple builders and developers within the Web 3.0 space, this being the beginning of a ReFi initiative hub in Mexico. We can leverage all these previous work, to enhance the growth of the regen community and Foster new initiatives not being covered by Celatam, as Mexico is a big country with millions of people for us to distribute coordinated efforts.
Comments on the budget
- Yes we can reduce the budget, because the budget is strictly correlated to the scope of the proposal.
- The proposed traveling budget is set for a team of three persons, meant to represent Celo, record videos, take pictures, live content, engage with attendees and help with the logistics of the events (since we were planning a Buildathon). This includes transportation, flights, food and misc.
- We kindly accept supporting Eth Mexico instead of focusing on time consuming efforts to host a Buildathon in a one month timeframe.
We will sure apply to participate on the Regen Coordination Gitcoin Grants.
