<aside> 🔥 We're building DAOHQ, the first marketplace to find, invest, and participate in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). DAOHQ.co is a unified platform where you can search the largest DAO directory on the internet, purchase governance tokens in crypto or fiat, and manage all your DAO voting.
</aside>
We believe that DAOs are joint-stock companies on chain & represent the future of work and investment. However, DAOs are currently scattered across social media, small decentralized exchanges, and manage voting on an array of crypto-native tools.
We're going into a world where almost everyone is an owner, investor, and team member simultaneously. People will find DAO work opportunities that align with their passions & level of time commitment. Anyone can invest in a project, join an investment DAO, or back a social enterprise with as little as $1. People will work at 1-3 DAOs for income & invest in 10+ out of personal interest.
We’re building DAOHQ, the first marketplace for DAOs. DAOs are Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), or joint-stock companies on the blockchain. In 2021, the value of DAOs increased 40 times to over $16 billion, of which we aim to capture the majority of the mobile investing market. We’re building one app to find, fund, and financialize DAOs, and we’re moving quick:
DAOHQ makes DAOs accessible to everyone & abstracts away the current web3 hurtles from the user experience. Consumer-focused UI, fiat-accessible trading, mobile 1st governance.
We're well equipped to solve this problem because we faced it ourselves! Finding & investing in DAOs currently takes hours, is unfriendly to non-crypto natives, and presents security risks to new users. As co-founders who are in multiple DAOs, keeping up with Discord news & governance is also a major barrier to engagement. Emmet and Lucas (learn more about us) just dropped out of Harvard and are working out of Miami, the American crypto capital.
Competitors are other DAO-discovery platforms, DEXs, and centralized exchanges. We win by 1) beating competition on DAO-specific information (quantity of DAOs & quality of info) & 2) Addressing a new & larger total market (mobile-first retail consumers).
Our current go-to-market strategy is to leverage content marketing & SEO. DAOs have not had their "NFT moment" yet, so we want to position DAOHQ as the #1 place to go to learn about DAOs and explore. We write value-add Twitter content daily & are releasing a knowledge base of blog posts this week.
