I know I was going to write about games this week and the product portfolio I am currently building using games in finance technology. So we will hold on to that. I can tell you we have finalised the prototype and starting to share or demo. I will write about it in the following weeks to come. If you are in personal finance, investing and/or saving business, we would love to talk with you.
For now, I will write about this day, that I have waited for so long and am proud and I am celebrating.
My approach to things are generally visceral, and I must say the current business and organisations structures I have been sensitive about, from the moment I have started in the business. I enjoy working with people and building amazing things, and I love the teams, but you could smell the dying parts all along. So there was something inherently to change. And I have worked in consultancies, agencies, product companies, startups, service companies, B2B, R&D, B2C, partnerships, decentralised organisations. I have observed.
I am always the one foot on today and one foot on tomorrow. As Es Devlin once said, I work in corridors, not the rooms. So I shall tell all the modalities of organisations will perhaps prevail, but there has been something mega brewing that will shape our futures.
I did not have a name back in the day. I researched different organisation structures like art collectives to understand whether they were it. I developed a toy project called House of Dadabit, thinking maybe, I could experiment with it. I was tackling the longevity of companies, as well as the participation and remuneration. Why it has to be forever? Is there a successful thing that is temporal? And could it be contribution-based? How could the value be shared more granularly? After scheming on it so long, it took some time to talk about it. So here I mention a little bit on my birthday 2017. Which I said should be the birthday of this too.

I kept talking about my observations in the arena for my paid work, as the head of emerging technologies, I had to deliver that corporates' future was a hybrid. The sooner we integrate decentralisation into the main, the longer we thrive. i built this toy model to tackle chaos in a humane way. I called it Minimum viable ecosystem,
All you need is a minimum viable Ecosystem
Here is a recent keynote on organisations and corporates, on getting affluent on fluent organisations.

Then came a name, The DAO, in 2016. I now had a name for what I was trying to do. But it would take another three years until I attempt to build one, considering House of Dadabit was a toy project. In 2019, we wanted to set up a DAO with fantastic folk. Bowen, Dale, Vijak, Florian, Bridgette, and others! After 4-6 months, the funds to run the DAO and the objectives of what must a DAO do, made me depart and continue on a preseed startup business,Yes the one about gamification in finance :D.
These two aspects, what the DAO does and the funding, will ever be relevant to solve and tackle.
I feel celebratory because it is disseminating more than ever. And it is also coming to my birthday again. I want to talk all about the current day now. But in the following weeks. How DAOs might be the following structures for us cryptos and normies. :P
