Thanks for the comments @LuukDAO & @annaalexa
100% we should utilize and dogfood more web3 apps! We have been using Request finance since inception but we could leverage that more now that the functionality has improved dramatically.
Regarding Charmverse, it looks interesting and we are going to meet with the team to see what they have to offer. We have a pretty robust process internally that looks similar to what they offer although their solution looks like it is more public. Not entirely sure that others need/want these details to be public but it also is good as a directory and funnel for talent. With that said, it may increase talent inflow but also increase bots/grant hunters at a larger rate.
I’ll add to that that sometimes using these platforms causes extreme friction for both the grant provider and grantee. We had an extremely bad experience with Questbook technology wise but we also developed significant relationships which helped us in ways would could not have foreseen.
One other product we are likely moving to is deform which provides a web3 product for forms. Always interested to hear other products that can teach us, provide different insights and utilize the aspects of blockchains that we all are here for!
