On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Dennison Bertram, founder of Tally, a DAO operations platform. Dennison is also the #2 backer from our initial Mirror crowdfund and, as a result, one of Rehash’s Queen of the Pod. Thank you Dennison!

Dennison has been in the crypto space since 2012, earning himself true OG status. Although he was a self-proclaimed Bitcoin in his early days, he’s now Ethereum-pilled and building Tally across several blockchains. 

In a DAO-heavy discussion, we dive deep into the challenges DAOs are facing, particularly around operations. We dive into what it means to be a DAO, how to set one up correctly, and Dennison gives us some DAO best practices. We also talk about “fake” DAOs and how bad actors are coming into the space to get DAO recognition, but not truly behaving like a DAO when things go south. 

We compare DAOs with traditional companies and analyze some of the challenges they both face. Dennison also shares his views on decentralization maxis as well as the controversial topic of what DAOs can learn from corporations.

Dennison leaves us with some final thoughts around what he’s most bullish about, most bearish about, and what excites him the most about the future of DAOs.
