Gitcoin Onboarding Pitch

Gitcoin Onboarding Pitch

Problem:

When a user hits Gitcoin, they're immediately bombarded by townsquare and a navigation bar up top that indiscriminately introduces them to the whole product suite of Gitcoin. New folks find this confusing, and returning users have to dig through a dropdown list or URLs in order to find where they're going. From the Gitcoin operator side, we have no idea what that user is on the site for, and serving an entire buffet of products lengthens the "time to value" for a particular user.

Gitcoin Communication Problem Framing

evidence for the pros

"Unfortunately there were no communication between me and counterparty, since gitcoin platform doesn't offer it. The message worker submitted when accepted his job was shown to me on github comment section AFTER the work was already done, which is obviously too late. Gitcoinbot should post the worker's message immediately when job was accepted. However, it would be even better if there was real-time chat between issue founder and worker(s)."

"The most time-consuming part of participating in gitcoin (or open source in general) is the communication overhead. Most issues require some discussion before you can go heads down and code. It takes time to ramp up on a new project. I could see it might be useful if I can get a sense of how responsive the maintainers are for each project easily."

"The Discord channels were also great. I chatted with a couple of other developers and some of them even tested and reviewed my work before I submitted it. It made me feel like being part of an even

Gitcoin Multi-Signature

Assumptions:

  1. Capabilities on Gitcoin to view organizations will also need to be built out alongside shared management and multi-signature capabilities (organization pages, less-hacky search by organization, organization pages).

  2. Risks include the technical and product resources we are putting into Bounties, which currently is less likely to net us revenue.

  3. It is a possibility that shared management and multi-sig are gated, premium items later in our subscriptions model testing.

  4. Requested feature from many of our funders, but potentially not revenue generating.

Gitcoin Grants Fee Models

Assumptions:

  1. Gitcoin Grants is a self-sustaining revenue stream.
  2. Adoption has been strong enough since the release of Gitcoin Grants (along with CLR incentive matching) to consider charging a fee.
  3. Users won't sidestep Grants completely to tip individuals outside of our network.

Problem:

What is a fair and sustainable way of earning revenue off Gitcoin Grants?
