1. Introduction
Name/Handle: Sov
Background: Currently Head of Grants at Gitcoin, I lead BD, Partnerships, and Grant Operations across multiple ecosystems. Before Web3, I managed a profitable systems integrator for a decade and served as Board President of a nationally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Contributions: In addition to my work with Gitcoin, I serve as OP govNERDs Lead, Public Goods Steward at ENS, and active delegate for other well known DAOs. I’ve helped to advance the grants and incentives space through creating resources like LlamaoGrants, Blockworks Grantfarm, Crypto Grant Wire, and Sov’s Compendium. My research and continuous collaboration with teams across the ecosystem has helped establish best practices and innovative funding models that could benefit Superfluid’s growth strategy.
2. Vision and Focus
Vision for the Superfluid DAO: I aim to help Superfluid strengthen its position as the premier protocol for streaming payments. My extensive network in grants and incentives can drive growth and ecosystem development.
Focus Areas:
- Grants & Incentives: Designing effective grant programs and strategic funding initiatives
- Ecosystem Growth: Leveraging cross-DAO relationships to expand Superfluid adoption
- Business Development: Applying my experience building profitable ventures to help create sustainable value and revenue opportunities
3. Commitment and Engagement
Time Commitment: I will scale my time to meet the needs of the DAO as required.
Community Interaction: Active forum presence with regular voting explanations, monthly summaries, Discord office hours, and outreach to proposal authors.
4. Why Delegate to Me?
My cross-ecosystem perspective brings unique value to Superfluid. I understand the challenges Superfluid solves and how to communicate its value across DAOs. My experience leading governance operations has equipped me with practical knowledge of what makes governance systems work efficiently.
