FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO A FOUNDER WHO RECEIVED A GRANT IN THIS ECOSYSTEM
Hi Wren, congrats on your grant. I run Thank You Ledger, nominated thank-you rounds that pay a community's quiet helpers. Before I apply, could I ask what reviewers cared about most? Two lines would help a lot.
4. Ask an ecosystem fund for a pot match
30 minSome ecosystems fund community pots.
FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO ECOSYSTEM COMMUNITY FUND LEAD
Hi Yara, we run Thank You Ledger: communities nominate quiet helpers and a pot pays them with onchain thank-yous. 4 rounds, 14 helpers paid. Would your fund match a pot for builders in your ecosystem?
