I think this will be a valuable experiment in having a team deploy capital in what I think is an appropriate funding range for them to do so. It a good team who should be able to, between them, use this funds to: - Select good projects - Work with them and help them to build - Hold those projects accountable to the milestones they set (For example - this team could provide funding and support to projects like NNS (Prop 170) and others like it to help them grow to a point where they are ready for their own proposal - making the DAO more effective at deploying captial and giving Nouners more information about the viability of projects before we vote on them. ) - And at the end of the time period provide an assessment on the overall performance. Good experiment and a move in the right direction.

There is an awkward gap in nouns funding currently and Im glad to see some nounish folks trying to solve for that. Would like to see regular rotation in the membership and hopefully an elimination in overlap between NSFW and DCS (not because of the people, they are awesome, but just in the interest of having the widest breadth of perspective in nouns funding.) Look forward to seeing some builders funded for exciting medium-sized endeavours.

9999: I appreciate the transparent approach this pod is taking for reviewing and publishing the result of their decisions. However, I am dismayed at the on-going cost to administer the pod. I understand that getting systems and processes up and running requires additional time, and that these management fees take this into account, but hopefully once processes are streamlined this pod will take less human time to administer and the costs can be reduced. I look forward to seeing what projects DCS finds and funds. devcarrot: I propose we vote yes on the DCS pod. I’m excited to see more methods of getting funded and especially within the Prop House/NSFW to Proposal gap. The ask seems like a reasonable amount and would like to see additional funding of the group if they’re able to fund good projects. I share 9999’s concerns but will be good to increase our sample size and experiment with the model more.

With some nouners signaling they will vote no on any prop under 20 eth, and the only other funding route being NSFW to get capital at this scale (PropHouse rounds are too randomized/unknown to always meet this need), I think this stacked team will do a great job selecting candidates who will build quality projects in the 8-10 ETH range and hopefully generate more value to the nouniverse.

Im generally a prop house maxi but leaning thinking we could use a crutch while we figure out how to scale PH spending in the mid-range across a range of topics. I like that theres are focus areas and that the pod members will rotate.

Great team. Smart area of focus. Expect a win for builders and the DAO. #Ugly

i like the focus on the 8-25 eth range as its a sweet spot that isnt really being supported elsewhere and can help attract more talented people to come build with us. as a builder myself, i have a number of projects that would fall within this range, but there hasnt been a clear path to funding. ie. projects that are more intensive than a 2 eth prop house round can support, but arent big enough to go on-chain. this is a valuable experiment to run and i look forward to seeing all the cool shit that comes out of it.

“There is a valid need for Nouns programs to provide funding in this range, and the team is a solid group of Nounish Folk. My only concern is that the admin costs are 40% of the ask. I support this prop but hope that in future iterations, as the group scales, they can improve on the ratio of admin costs to allocated ETH.” - Joel Cares “Love this idea as its an existing grey area that Ive encountered myself at nounfrica,where we have a prop but no definite place to apply for funding. Agree with Joel Cares about the admin costs needing improvements. Otherwise a good prop.” - Don “I like the prop! My personal concern are the different areas it’s supporting - pretty much anything from software/tech to art and marketing. I think especially for a pod it makes sense to choose a specific industry, product or product category and not just go after everything - aka a niche.” - Benjamin Latsko “I support this fully, as is. A tremendous amount of admin time is a simple reality if what Juan just said is to become a reality. All team members have delivered above and beyond consistently.” - !xargs “As a prop builder this is so relatable, being stuck in a awkward stage of mid tier ask aiming to scale up gradually. Fully support DCS pod.” - .ZllW
