The Whale Tank - A Metaverse Funding Experience

by 0x890c7aede8d6b045ad982b3d2524b627e995af18 (WhaleConnected)

Should the following $29,999 grant in the Social Media Content category be approved?

Abstract

The Whale Tank is essentially an entirely metaverse version (pov and filming all in DCL) of the Shark Tank & Dragons Den concept.

We have acquired the trademark for the Whale Tank brand with permission to do business under the TM for the purposes of connecting investors with private investors. We have also secured a partnership with a company called SeedStarter that will incorporate a crowdfunding element into the show.

Description

I believe the Whale Tank concept should receive funding because I think that it will bring exposure to the DCL platform and also help projects that have promise gain exposure as well.

Roadmap and milestones

The roadmap for this project is relatively simple in that it is essentially a series of episodes, with the major milestones being episode production.

I am targeting a first season with a pilot episode (already have the guests and Whales lined up), and then after a review of the pilot we will decide whether or not to continue based on feedback from the greater community as a whole. (If we do not elect to continue due to the feedback from the community, then we will return any unused DAO funds)

Guests will come on the show and present their web3 projects to a panel of Whales, who will then have the opportunity to either invest in the projects individually or together as accredited investors or pass on the projects altogether. Additionally, there will be a small percentage of each project's equity available to the SeedStarter platform (https://twitter.com/JoinSeedstarter) so that the viewers and DCL community can have a chance at any projects they are interested in.

This proposal is summarized due to technical limitations. To view it complete and vote on it, visit the DCL DAO Governance dApp
