Introducing ProsperDAO, an experiment in collective prosperity.

ProsperDAO is born out of a desire to build the community we’ve always dreamed of. An opportunity to experiment with how we collaborate (organizational design / DAO). To nurture meaningful relationships in both the digital and physical realms (community / people). To simply build cool sh*t with amazing people (purpose).

Purpose + people + DAO = magic ✨

Our mission is to create spaces for collective prosperity to thrive.

ProsperDAO is seeded in Celo’s mission of prosperity for everyone and celebrates the interoperable and interconnected nature of web3. ProsperDAO is for anyone in the broader crypto community aligned to this spirit of purpose—especially those who want to have FUN in the process.

We hope to spark a global community of leaders committed to spreading prosperity globally. Without overpowering, extracting from, neglecting, or dismissing. Instead, having the courage to stand in prosperity and hold the space for others to do the same.

It started in 2019...

In 2019, a group of us hosted a retreat with good peeps that led to co-founders meeting, new projects launching, and unexpected magic. The intent was to bring prosperity to life through a shared experience. By the end, there were ideas to turn it into a three month experience and desire to host retreats around the world. The overwhelming positive feedback of this experience energized us to bring people back together IRL and to do so with DAO infrastructure to support it.

...picking up where we left off this fall

This September, ~80 people will be gathering in the Catskill Mountains for ProsperDAO’s genesis weekend. To finalize the principles & manifesto. To build community. To hug (remember that?!). To shape the future of ProsperDAO.

Let’s DAO it

At their best, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations enable experimental, anti-hierarchical, fluid structures that optimize for organic and meaningful contributions from a collective intelligence. The DAO infrastructure creates greater community ownership and decision-making. We’re still just scratching the surface for what’s possible when people move from intrinsic motivation. We’re excited to prototype new methods of intentional organizing and sharing our findings along the way.

Wait, so what will we actually do?

Host really amazing experiences around the world. Build products & relationships. Maybe spark a movement. And just hang...yes, more chillin’.

Today is the MVD—Minimum Viable DAO

This day marks the launch of the MVD. The minimum amount of infrastructure needed to start building in public and with the community. This includes: a multi-sig, legal entity (almost complete!), purpose, principles, & plenty of artwork. There is still much to figure out, including how new members join ProsperDAO. We’ll be finalizing much of this, with ProsperDAO’s current and future members, in the coming months and at the genesis retreat weekend.
