Its been almost a month since we launched Nouns Grants -- a few takeaways: Application format - The application form is performing well with >1 new application per day at current rate. Required video seems like a big boon; adding credibility and ease of digesting proposals. Surprisingly, outright spam has been very low and (subjectively) the quality of applicants high. - So far so good. Lots of growth potential. However, two downstream bottlenecks adds uncertainty and make it awkward to heavily promote Nouns Grants. Lets take a look at each and how they can be solved: 1/4

Promoting candidates - The first major bottleneck is applications getting stuck at the 'promote candidate to proposal' step. In short, voters are not bringing (the best) candidates to a vote decision. Lots of potential reasons for this, including disinterest, lack of knowledge, poor tooling, gas fees etc. - How can we fix this? We could make candidate promotion a primary objective and CTA on Camp to incentivize more people to do it. Or we could ask the dao for a bunch of Nouns to use for promotion and take a more centralized approach. The overall feeling is that this step is quite solvable, yet unlikely to make a difference unless we solve the second bottleneck -- 2/4
