What if the next Airbnb was owned by the hosts and guests?…They will be! 🎉 Today 10 pioneer platforms with 200,000 members launch shared ownership on @OwnCoApp 🎉 I am so excited to share 3 huge announcements at once 👇

@meetgranola feature request: can I share 'chat with ai' questions via a link with colleagues? It's an ai 'let me Google that for you'. Thank you!

@meetgranola can I put symbols that label my thoughts in the call notes, to tie into recipes? E.g. '*ask Mary what she thinks about this' (for to-dos), not verbalised on the call. Thanks for the amazing product!🙏

@b3nnn21 "who's the user?" "Anyone could be the user!"

“It enables so many use cases” = we have zero product market fit

@benliquidkenya Fantastic idea. I'm imagining a gen z version of BBC question time.

I want to convene some meeting with leaders in tech, where we dont present anything, we just listen to what the young "Gen Z" want from us and tech companies that we are leaders of. My 1st thought is to do it as a Twitter Space, but happy to do it on another platform. Ideas pls

How might we bring connectivity investment forwards using decentralized finance? 💡 Opening up our thinking with @ecofrontiers @curvelabs for 2 days of hypothesis sketching for Connectivity Credits at the Giga Tech Centre in Barcelona. @papa_raw @LBorreani @_harrywilson

Any recommendations of Swiss-based web3 builders? Would love to work with them on MVPs of Connectivity Credits.

10 new @Gigaglobal jobs just went live - in Barcelona and Geneva - product, design, comms - giga.global/jobs Come join us on the mission to connect every school in the world to the internet!

@A_Leutenegger Excited to see this new era with you pushing it forward, wishing you all the best!

Today I am proud to announce that I have stepped up as the new CEO of Aragon X, to lead the development and growth of the Aragon project. My goal: get Aragon back to doing what it does best, building innovative technology. The mission for Aragon X, the team behind Aragon OSx and Aragon App, remains the same: to enable onchain organizations to experiment with governance at the speed of software. We envision a world where humans can coordinate by the rule of code, reducing the need for enforcement by trusted systems, often through the use of force. We had a wild 2023 filled with high highs and low lows, and the launch of our new tech stack - Aragon OSx and App - was the highlight we had all dreamed about. It is what gave us strength and allowed us to lay a strong foundation to propel us into this new year. Most importantly, on the other side of our restructure, we find ourselves with a lean, passionate, and experienced team of builders. The most important asset we have are these builders, their experiences, and their commitment to the mission. Aragon was founded on the idea that we were at a global turning point. We would either see technology lead to a more free, open, and fair society; or reinforce a global regime of centralized control, surveillance, and oppression. It was a call to action: a fight for freedom. We feel the pressure of expectations set before our time: to fulfill an ambitious mission that is bigger than any one of us. It's why we joined the fight in the first place and why we are still here. Just like any organization, this team needs to be put in an environment to succeed, and that’s exactly what I intend to do. By putting the project into the hands of builders, we are finally in a position to take this new tech stack to the next level, decentralize the protocol safely, and serve the needs of the next generation of DAOs. I want to send a big thank you to everyone that has supported the team in the last year and pushed us towards reaching our mission. Onchain governance models such as DAOs are essential to advance the values of Ethereum, particularly as the ecosystem grows and gains adoption. One of the most important things I can do beyond setting this team up for success is to speak with and learn from you, the builders of the Ethereum ecosystem. So please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments at anthony at aragon dot org or smash reply on twitter. There is nothing more I’d like to hear than your voice. I’ll be sending more open and honest updates as I make my way along this journey. Your support means a lot. This is a new beginning, so buckle up for a new and great adventure! Thank you, onwards and upwards! Sincerely, Anthony CEO of Aragon X - Aragon Project

@adam_glab_0915 Hey Adam - nice to meet you. We're looking for new members to join the team building open source products that help get more schools connected to the internet. Details in the link.

Looking for front-end dev (and many more roles) to join us @Gigaglobal in Barcelona giga.global/jobs-1/softwar…, please share if you know anyone great!

@joey_debruin ⚡️!

100 Builders is not your typical accelerator or hackathon, so we're going to do demo day a bit differently as well. We want it to be interactive. If you like playing around with products at the edges, you're invited... Next week we'll have somewhere around 50 demos from builders creating open tech in crypto and AI. Text to voice, generative video, infra for LLMs, new products on L2s, DeFi infrastructure, an onchain game or two — all early, all open, all something you can play with. Nothing wrong with the typical demo day, but it's not our vibe. It's not about pitching for investment, or creating a splashy launch. It's just raw builder energy ⚡️ If you're down to get your hands dirty, test out some new stuff, maybe even check out the source code, and meet some great builders, we'd love to have you as alpha testers of our own for this finale. Comment with ⚡️ here or send me a DM and I'll let you know when it's live.

@joey_debruin I'm wondering what do modern day patrons look like? Who are the modern day Medicis? Does this exist at some elite level? Is it research fellowships? Is it more like OpenCollective and Patreon?

Given how the world of tech is evolving, the ability to invest in people (vs companies) via something like an ISA seems like it will be increasingly appealing? If the cost/time to ship something goes towards zero, investing in a particular idea at early stages makes less sense?

@joey_debruin Interesting space. There were some experiments with personal tokens like $Alex that would be interesting to hear how they went. On another note, I think patreon could be a better solution here. Gives creative freedom to the creator, and not tying them as much to investors.

@chrisfabian @Gigaglobal @claragromaches @phil_h - incredible project from UNICEF Giga, maybe a fit for the wonderful @dOrg_tech?

New open source blockchain RFP @Gigaglobal In Search Of: A vendor (company) to develop an opensource prototype for a "Connectivity Credit Marketplace", employing a tokenization model to incentivize internet connectivity extension by service providers to underprivileged communities. Potential incentives may derive from governmental or non-governmental sources. The ideal partner should possess deep experience in building user-centric, blockchain-based platforms and designing effective incentive systems within emerging markets. This collaboration involves not only technical execution but also prototyping, design, and advocacy, with an opportunity to contribute directly to Giga's mission to universalize school internet connectivity. ungm.org/Public/Notice/… closes: 13 June 2023

@0xPaella I think you can learn more with paying users. If you're going to care about people paying for it later, you'll save time by finding the people willing to pay for it now and building for their needs. (Agree there's no point with revenue models, just put a simple arbitrary price).

If you have no users, don’t bother with revenue models. Create something people care! Revenue cannibalises growth, which is exactly what you need to create a better product. More users means, more feedback, more Lindy, more engagement and motivation, more opportunities.
