Advise Vybe

The purpose of this proposal is to become advisors to Vybe.

What is Vybe? The founders of Vybe recognized that, while cryptocurrencies have the potential to revolutionize the way we transact with one another, they are held back by burdensome private key management, intimidating wallet addresses, clunky login/signup options, and expensive transaction fees. To make cryptocurrency truly accessible and easy for everyday use, they created Vybe – a social finance application providing users with simple, secure crypto transfers through familiar forms of Web3 identification such as NFTs, and eliminating transaction fees. With Vybe’s Account Abstraction and Smart Contract Wallet infrastructure, the team is pioneering an entirely new financial experience that allows users to seamlessly utilize cryptocurrency in their daily lives.

Meet the Founding Team Mitch Schneider (Co-Founder): Mitch is a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he studied Finance and Economic Analytics. During his last semester in college, Mitch was employed full-time by New Order and became our first researcher. His work was extremely valuable to the New Order ecosystem and led to some of the incubated projects we know today. Mitch brings a deep understanding of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency evolution and has a proven track record of incubating new projects from concept to launch.

Daniel Corsaro (Co-Founder): Dan graduated from Stanford in 2008 with a BS in Management Science and Engineering. In addition to previously working with New Order as a Founder-in-Residence, Dan has founded, advised, and delivered growth at several start-ups throughout his career in product development, business development, and marketing capacities. He has defined the vision, economic model, and go-to-market strategy for several product experiences, including the 0-1 launch of multiple mobile applications with 100Ks of downloads, several co-branded product integrations, the relaunch of a freemium subscription product used by 10Ms, and direct ownership of a business unit monetizing a subscription fitness experience used by 100M+. Most recently, Dan founded and bootstrapped a start-up focused on blockchain’s potential to provide increased user context through mapping metadata onto tokenized assets.

As stated above, we've worked closely with Mitch and Daniel during their time at New Order, and we've seen firsthand the excellent capabilities and leadership skills they both possess. As co-founders of Vybe, Mitch and Dan bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Because of this, we have full confidence that their vision for Vybe has the potential to revolutionize the way individuals and businesses use cryptocurrency and create an entirely new financial experience.

How will this look for New Order? Once this proposal and the subsequent Snapshot vote is approved by the DAO, New Order will engage with Vybe on an advisory basis to assist with business development, strategic planning and sourcing technical people. In exchange, the New Order DAO treasury will receive 2.5% of equity in Vybe.
