Thanks for this proposal, a couple clarification things and some feedback/suggestions:

> [@eugene](#):
>
> **Tier 2** is for those who have a more advanced stage project (already have an MVP or beyond) and want to reach more users and build a more refined product.
> 
> - This track is for grants between $15k-$75k

does this refer to those with an MVP in Scroll or simply with an MVP anywhere?

> [@eugene](#):
>
> **Milestone Evaluation**
> 
> Grantees will be expected to provide updates in GAP

can we avoid the use of acronyms? what’s GAP in this context?

> [@eugene](#):
>
> This proposal outlines the first potential DAO grant program.

I see the need for this proposal, however, I think we’re missing applying some key lessons here. We know that projects don’t only need financial support. Why not add some marketing support for grantees as the most low-hanging fruit here (e.g. a once-a-month Twitter thread and space) or maybe the foundation having a chat where grantees can ask for stuff (intros to investors, talent or advise, or something). Equally, I don’t understand why do grants instead of investments but anyhow.
