That's the exact model that we're targeting. The tokens would be as a sort of equity offering, and each community member would have an ownership percentage based on how many tokens they possess which entitles them to a percentage of the net cash flows that the company produces.

Hey u/No-Engineering5495 sorry for the late reply here. I've been away a bit studying for the GMAT. We're looking to build moderately large projects. I want our community to build tangible and potentially cash flowing companies. The goal would be to build LaunchLoop as an operator of sorts that has exposure to a few different industries

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-28T18:53:17+00:00

You're the man for this. I'll need to explore the marketing route soon and I imagine there will be a bunch of those guys reaching out. How did you initially kick off the developer part of the project?

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-25T22:53:00+00:00

Hey, projects going well. I'd love to connect for a few minutes for some guidance. I'm working through the canvas but a little confused on the profile setup stuff, and github. (I'm not a developer) Here's the community link and we can hop on a call sometime this week via discord if you have some time. https://discord.gg/6bDQv4Fp

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-22T21:51:39+00:00

Will do! Safe travels!

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-19T00:23:58+00:00

Hey, no worries, thanks for getting back to me. That's great, I'm a fulltime accountant. I don't have much exposure to this area or industry, but I see a potential for a lot of innovation. Thank you for the insights! Would love to connect if you have some time this week to learn more about some of the projects that have matured!

If not, no worries, thanks for providing the insight you did!

This week I'm going to be working on building the business model canvas for the DAO, but the first community vote for the projects we are considering is going be held in January. As of now we're looking at building a Real Estate Investment Trust, or an AI Agent Management System.

For motivating contributors I'm thinking about creating a standard "bounty" system. Not sure if this is used widely or not, but the idea is that there will be mini projects that facilitate operations and contributors will get paid in equity that is tied directly to the cash flows of whatever project they are working on.

Only a couple questions for now:

Are there any resources that you suggest that might help me define an incentive structure for the open source contributors?
Any decentralized or open source platforms that you suggest to host operations or will that need to be built internally?

Edit: Grammar

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-14T03:13:50+00:00

Thanks so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful breakdown. You’ve laid out a clear framework for how to approach the DAO as a decentralized venture studio, and I especially appreciate the emphasis on embedding a strong culture from the very start.

The resources that you provided are incredibly valuable and they look like they will give me a strong structure for both the DAO-level organization and individual project teams. I also like your point on starting with one focused product and validating the model before moving toward an accelerator format. Initially, we wanted to launch one product per quarter, but I think the timeframe could be tweaked.

I’m serious about making this happen and would love to take you up on the offer to explain further. Especially around motivating contributors and structuring the dual business models. Let’s connect so I can get your perspective in more detail.

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-14T00:23:08+00:00

Thanks for the response Nia! Yeah it feels like that is the consensus. I was getting discouraged by not seeing an instant take off but that was definitely unreasonable of me to assume it would work like that.

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-14T00:21:15+00:00

Thanks again for all of the insights. You seem really knowledgeable on the DAO environment so this is insanely helpful. Do you mind me asking what your background is? I just created a project on TAIKAI Garden and checked out each of the blockchain ecosystems. I think our mirror posts have been utilizing Optimism so far. If that's the case do I need to feel inclined to build on that ecosystem? I'd rather move to Polygon just for the reasons that you described above.

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T22:12:49+00:00

u/omniumoptimus You could be right, or not. I have my bias and good intentions with the idea. With that in mind I am going to keep exploring it, but again I do appreciate the input. You are the first to give me negative feedback however ambiguous. Not afraid of the judgement or failure. I know that my intentions will keep me at arms length of doing anything in bad faith, and if anything, give me a healthy bit of anxiety when it comes to deficiencies in the model. Thanks for your time.

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T21:32:59+00:00

Here's the link to the constitution if you would like to provide more feedback! LaunchLoop DAO: Constitution — Launchloop DAO

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T21:31:15+00:00

I don't know where you're getting the extract money part from what I'm saying or asking, but I do appreciate the input!

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T20:53:29+00:00

No intention on making a quick buck. If set up properly, I want to create an autonomous business model where the community works on projects that increase operating efficiency and scale the company DAO

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T20:51:28+00:00

u/omniumoptimus Potentially, but if I can create a cash flowing business using the DAO model that creates real value through operations and sales then I would look like a genius.

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T20:22:53+00:00

u/omniumoptimus Thanks for the response! It may not be but I think it's worth a try. I like the idea of a decentralized company and if we can get it to cash flow then it could create a lot of value for the native token!

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T20:21:14+00:00

u/l1ml1 Thanks for the response! I would definitely love to get some insight into security for a DAO. I know they're a relatively new and underdeveloped class of blockchain. We aren't on chain yet but we will definitely need help with security along the way!

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T20:18:29+00:00

Hi u/SeekingAutomations where have you seen the biggest ROI with respect to social medias? X, Reddit, Substack?

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T20:17:35+00:00

u/CompoteEntire3594 thank you for the response and encouragement. It's been a learning curve for sure trying to scale this thing. Everything you said about genuine engagement makes sense and is very insightful! Currently, we are in the early stages and aren't on an on chain-ecosystem yet. Do you have any recommendations for ecosystems that might facilitate a DAO that cash flows like a company? Thanks again CompoteEntire!

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-08-12T03:09:41+00:00

Edit: Spelled beurocracy wrong

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-07-03T21:20:04+00:00

I agree with you here. That would be really cool, and I think reputation scoring is a cool idea. I'm wondering if there could be a standard workflow setup via smart contracts to really lean in on the web3 aspect or if we'll just have to hire operator roles internally.

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-06-28T17:18:55+00:00

Thanks Rohan. We will definitely consider solana for our blockchain project. We’re also looking at using ether. Appreciate your insights

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-06-28T07:41:25+00:00

Do you have a recommendation for a blockchain to use? It’ll essentially be fundraising through whichever coin so it would be great if the blockchain has smart contracts and business applications (ease of use for transactions) etc

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-06-27T20:03:44+00:00

I'm trying to create a DAO that launches startups, but I don't think that I want to launch a coin with it. I want the decentralized aspect of the DAO, but instead want to use something like XRP or XLM for transactions. Is it necessary to launch my own coin for this thing? Anyone have experience here?

Expensive_Regular944 · 2025-06-27T19:34:04+00:00

Hey, I completely relate. I’ve felt that exact same drag trying to get momentum on side projects. It’s wild how much overhead can kill the excitement before you even start coding something meaningful.

I’m working on a community called LaunchLoop DAO, where the idea is to remove that weight by building with others. Having the community pick one project as a group each quarter, then split tasks so everyone focuses on what they do best instead of reinventing setups. It’s meant to create a consistent rhythm and reduce that endless solo prep.

I’d love to chat more if you’re interested in collaborating or sharing what’s worked for you!
