It would be great to get some Whales together to act like VC's in a way, having accountability for each project would be good.
Even if they aren't VC's, there should be some sort of team overlooking the DHF and following up on projects and teams to ensure the money is being spent as intended. Also, having "skin in the game" would make sure that the main goal of most funded projects is to make money, or just turn a profit in general.
How does the DHF work exactly, when a project is done does a portion of profit get put back into it to be used on other developments? If not, it could be good for it to ensure there is regularly income growing the vault to be used on now ideas.
Realistically, an alternative to the DHF would be great too.
We had talks about that, but it looks like it got forgotten... It is hard to implement and it would be easily abused, but on a different level...
That is exactly the point of the post! If you are giving away someone's else money, it is not YOUR SKIN in the game... and that's why I think that many DHF-funded projects didn't deliver...
It's a great resource to have at the disposal of innovators, but it just needs a bit more protection man. Hive is brilliant, but one thing that has jumped out at me is how many duplicate projects there are that get funded, while things like marketing barely get any funding.
Having everything here is great, but I think now it's time to bring more people in to use everything that has been built.
