Acknowledgements

At the outset of this project, we feel is important and appropriate to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to those in this space who have came before us and innovated. Inasmuch as we have lofty goals of being leaders in this space, it equally important to be collaborators.

DAO Maker, Polkastarter & Seedify for their contributions to the innovation of launchpads, upon which we modeled our Venture Window.

Meta Cartel, CSP DAO and particularly Global Coin Research for their advancements of the venture DAO model.

Jones DAO and JPEG'd teams - thank you. Your public launches inspired us that we too could bypass VC capital and IDO's to create a fairer launch system. We borrowed from your blueprint.

New Order DAO, Redacted Cartel and 0xSami - your white papers, thought leadership, collaborative integrity and innovations on PCV have all been essential.

Sam Kazemian of Frax - your mission drive approach and positive sum philosophy are a shining example for the DeFi space.

Curve DAO, Convex, Scoopy Trooples & Alchemix, Tetranode, Maki and so many more.

There are many other teams and founders, content creators, Twitter threadoors, podcasters, Discord/Telegram groups and all that many good-faith participants in this ecosystem, too many to name here, which have inspired us as well.

To all of you, thank you. We hope to build and work alongside you for years to come.
