Lessons from Co.Lab Fellowship - Part 2
What exactly is decentralized on our blockchains?Web3 has come to be characterized by its decentralized, permission-less, and remote nature. This makes entirely logical for software programmers worldwide because their output of code is ubiquitous, non-fungible, and accessible. However, the work of non-engineering roles such as marketers, salespeople, and operations professionals, presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Ourmada.xyz has been exploring this space alongside RnDAO a...

Lessons from Co.Lab Fellowship - Part 1
"What is that beautiful house?"For the past month, I have been spending several hours a day with Co.Lab Fellows who have been selected by RnDAO and Arbitrum DAO. We are at different stages of creating new projects, scattered throughout the world, and jump on a Zoom call twice a week to share updates from our user research. I highly encourage you to check out their work here, here, and here. As part of the process, I’ve been focused on how Ourmada can learn more about its users. I wrote this p...

Recent Lessons - Questioning Assumptions
Recent LessonsI’ve started slowly incorporating elements of working in public at the suggestion of my Co.Lab Fellows sponsored by ArbitrumDAO and RnDAO. It is uncomfortable at times and has been inconsistent, but helpful nonetheless. Writing has always been critical since the early days of Ourmada and it has been powerful to journal the journey. Documenting the process in a public fashion, however, has been difficult and seemingly a distraction. Some recent lessons have compelled me to reflec...

Ourmada: anchors aweigh
Ourmada ships. Our name is a pun based on “armada”, a fleet of large ships. Our name is also a play on “shipping products”. We are creating Ourmada with these ethe in mind and are building a modular platform for different DAO tools. Ourmada’s mission is to make DAOs better. It is simple, broad, and challenging all at the same time. We collaborate with any individual who shares the same mission and stay focused on how the member experience for any DAO can be improved. We’ve spoken to a multitu...
