[Proposal] Fund independent team to build on TrueFi

[ryan.rodenbaugh]

As it stands, USDC breakdown is currently:

Salaries includes 5 people listed above, 3 new hires (1 BD, 2 marketing), and budget for two part-time contributors. In addition to that, there is a good chance that we decide not to hire a PR agency, at which point those funds would be returned. Of course excess conference/marketing spend, legal, grants will also be returned if unused.

re: TRU, the entirety of that is earmarked for salaries and compensation.

@TylerEther

We’re probably going to be in a bear market for the next two years, so we want to ensure our runway is long enough to cover us for at least the next two years.

This is an extremely fair point! Do note though (from a separate post)…

@michael.bland

Initial Budget: Initial funding of $1.7M USDC from the Core Team to cover DAO operating expenses for approximately 6 months, at which point a determination will be made on whether additional funding is required.
