BizDev WG <> Contributor Proposal

Detailed proposal can be found here: https://gov.rarible.org/t/rohan-handa-bizdev-wg-proposal/279

TLDR

Rarible DAO is an established player in the NFT vertical, and given the rapid development within the space it needs to start expanding the ecosystem and thinking about new business models (revenue opportunities).

I have over 8 years of experience across the US, Europe, and Asia in consulting, building and investing in ventures, and more recently, leading business development and strategic alliances effort for a unicorn venture. I can help the DAO leverage my existing experience and skills to build this arm from the ground up.

My contribution to the DAO will have several benefits:

• Identify use cases and connect with projects in the ecosystem.
• Help build out the biz dev sales pitch and deck to enable the team to communicate the value proposition of the protocol, and identify ways to collaborate
• Help raise awareness about the DAO and ecosystem. Showcase what is being built, and how we are the leading NFT innovation. This will help attract more builders who are interested in shaping the future of NFTs on top of the Rarible protocol.
• Help build out a seamless process for communication between business development and other DAO WGs
