Rei Chiang, CTO and co-founder of DeFi unicorn Gauntlet, breaks down risk management in the context of DeFi markets and how Gauntlet aims to help organizations, companies and individuals in the industry better assess risk. We also touch upon recent market events with regards to the fall of FTX and how risk management may have been insufficiently prioritized across the board.

I chat with Matt Dobel, who runs Business Development at Gauntlet, and we dive into what it means for a business to operate in a B2DAO way, as opposed to the more familiar B2B route. We dig into how this plays out in terms of governance, education and the pros/cons of this business model in the industry.

We discuss the importance of community first building and what it means for a DAO to have a north star and center of gravity with Rafa the Builder, community architect and DAO extraordinaire at Mirror. Check out my article about Minimum Viable DAOs at anisha.mirror.xyz 🪞

I chat with Jess Sloss, cofounder of Seed Club — one of the hottest Social DAOs in existence today. Jess and I dive into the origin story of Seed Club, how one can join, participate, and stand out in a DAO. Want to make your mark in a large community? Problem solve before anyone else, consistently, and nobody will be able to ignore you.

On Pilled episode 6, we chat with Will Papper from SyndicateDAO about investment DAOs (more on this in the episode 5 with Kinjal Shah) and the launch of SyndicateDAOs new platform which allows you to spin up investment clubs in a matter of minutes.
