I want to hire somebody to personally contact every team that wins a Coinbase/Base Grant and pitch them on raising USDC for their project with no fees on @crowdfund today. I want this person to do this over and over until the heat death of the universe. I want every builder on Base who wins a prize to know about @crowdfund. Who wants this gig?

@flynn.eth
is it for philanthropic reasons you'd want builders to do this or investment?

In its current form I think @crowdfund is well suited to “no strings attached friends and family support” style raises for solopreneurs and teams woldwide. A sucessful @crowdfund validates interest in the idea and provides money to build an MVP, hire professional services providers, or host somthing IRL. An ambitious team could absolutely use it as a pre-sale tool by exporting the CSV of supporters and proportionally airdropping them, for example. Crowdfund is a very efficient way to collect USDC while mobilising social proof on Farcaster. I suspect a proper investment platform would require more direct relationship between money in and a token warrant or equity out, but I also think people are creative and should show us how to use the tool the way @bertwurst.eth @tricil.eth an @tako-unik @pauline-unik have. I think Base Grant recipients could use their prizes as credentials that prove their worth and access a new audience of fans and financial supporters with @crowdfund. What do you think?

Based on my knowledge not all base grant recipients are really active on farcaster and this might affect their contributions strength. Would they be able to access crowdfund outside farcaster

yes it does work on the web crowdfund.seedclub.com. i think we should add categories like Charity, Show, Product, Open Source, IRL

Yes, switching through categories could be a feature especially for people donating, but the current show tab can remain the same
