As a potential community member he sees potency and wants to see network effects
As a brand, wants it to be positioned as a platform and "to build a connection with the community" (sounds like what's happening with One Platform now)
"if an audience is built, brands will come"
As an investor, "it can loot a lot like a service model and we hate that" but if it's a social network or community model they say "oh this is a platform?!" they see it as infinitely scalable
allowing people to engage communities will be of interest
feels that the community's definement of R$ was underplayed

where & when would we curate membership to projects/the overall community & why
11:43 do we try to make the resonance machine & bots experience feel more human? or try to explicitly disclose when there are bots talking vs humans (she has a lot of experience with bots & automated email processes so has a lot of thoughts)
11:44 how to navigate conflict & challenging behavior with community members
11:44 and (similar to katelin) what is the use experience of this? and does it/will it live in one unified platform?
11:48 lastly - after rewatching the preso & giving it again, im feeling more strongly that the detailed marketplace/mythos/etc slides should be moved after the brand/citizen/investor section

What is the exchange rate between USD>R$, is it fixed? If it fluctuates, what causes it to do so?
Answer brewing here 👉Exchange Rate
How do Citizens set/agree upon their R$ rate for their types of capital (i.e. Brand XYZ needs something coded, a citizen codes it for them)
Answer brewing here 👉One Marketplace
Are Citizens able to draw their R$ to USD at any time? Will it be the same exchange rate going out (R$>USD) as coming in (USD>R$)
This is our intention. As time/dev goes on, this will become more clear.
What happens to the eco-system is there's a large simultaneous drawdown of R$ > USD?
Conversation brewing regarding Citizen/capital priority

How do you make sure you are putting the best of the best talents together as part of the community for various projects rather than the opposite types that are underperformers in their field.
How and who defines value contributed to the community for purposes of earning R dollars?
How and who overseas putting a very focused group of people together for a specific project?

Less text. Totally agree with Farhoud on “show not tell”
Need clarification on the funding for Spiritual Space vs. One (I think Jim termed this “more meat” ;-)
Determine best financing approach and the target investors (is this really venture? if so, who and they’ll need to see comps and unit economics, if not, $3MM is a lot of checks)
For the accelerator argument I like “General Assembly was constrained by physical” and “Covid has unalterably changed work to be online and fluid.” One and Spiritual Space brings these together in a deliberate and thoughtful way. The “why now” here is powerful. And the people and mechanics can feed that as you’re the ones to do it. I’d want to do a bit of research on open-source collectives and a former colleague of mine has been doing CoMakery and there is another player named BrainTrust. Showing awareness of this space, the category and learnings will be important. https://info.comakery.com/about_us/
Lots of thoughts on “people of resonance” and “incubate until hatched” and “potlatch society” paired with the people, tools and “capital” to create Eisenstein’s “reality we could not envsion.” Then again, we need investors to envision enough to write a check! 📷
Hope that’s helpful and in the spirit of feedback. Aim to be helpful and will check in on CoMakery, BrainTrust and others in the segment to understand if some broader learnings.
Happy Good Friday/Easter/Passover or general April weekend of shelter in place
From Mitchell Jackson
Thanks for inviting me to the meeting! It was fascinating. Based on the meeting, I think we should start cultivating relationships between you and John and business reporters. Since this is an incubator, it's a business story, and I think business readers would care to learn more. At this moment, we should keep everything off the record since you're doing a lot of groundwork right now. In the meantime, if anything is incubated/generated by members that are press-worthy, we can take that out. We don't have to mention the co-op, but we can later point to the press to say, "Hey, the co-op did this, this, and this!" (Which is how we were going to use Molly's symposium story.) In the long run, it all will work to bolster the co-op and spirit studio.
We can talk more once I finish my "press in the age of COVID-19" memo (the alternative title is: "Normal Will Never Return. Prepare for the New Normal)
