I think it is better to simply allow teams to apply under the original proposal, because it would be faster and I think this process you have outlined @Mads would be extremely time consuming. Both me and Sofia are being interviewed today, so I take it as a sign that our proposal is considered valid enough.
With regards to hiring teams, I hear your points @clesaege but they come against the hard fact that the attributions (integrations and community) extend beyond what can be executed with quality by a single individual. A team is needed, that’s the reality. And there’s nothing worse for an A player than being forced to work with a B player. Sometimes people take more than a year just looking for a co-Founder, and as you mentioned we will be in a position that is analogous to being a co-Founder.
I could go in alone, and propose to hire someone else later but I don’t think this would be the best for the DAO, as similarly with this proposal by Mads, it would be too time consuming. We are simply offering the most straightforward route of applying as a duo who has known and worked with each other for years, and requesting less than half of a PM salary for each of us. This is what we sincerely believe to be the best for the DAO, and given our poll from last week I think it is a valid and legitimate path. Hope you can give it some consideration.
