F6: Proposer outreach
How can we encourage entrepreneurs from outside the Cardano ecosystem to submit proposals to Catalyst in the next two funds?
WADA Proposer Workshops
<p>Many African entrepreneurs are unaware of the Project Catalyst's funding campaigns and the community's encouragement of African proposals.</p>
Vietnam Tech StartupClub on Cardano
<p>The young Vietnamese startup community is always full of ideas, ready to take on challenges, but does not know how to access Catalyst Fund</p>
Video content about Mini-Proposals
<p>There is not enough video content to encourage entrepreneurs to create proposals in Catalyst</p>
University/College Outreach
Solution: We intend to incubate interest in the blockchain by educating them with daily zooms and assisting in proposal development with targets.
Taiwan Outreach
<p>Although the number of people in Taiwan following blockchain news is growing, they usually represent investors, not proposers.</p>
SOIL - Scalable Open Innovation
<p>Knowledge management is crucial in any industry. Current IP laws are often more of a burden, especially in developing countries.</p>
SMALL GROUPS BETTER UNDERSTAND
<p>Youtube, Telegram and others are unpersonal. Talking about money, world changes or new horizon must be discussed face to face</p>
Small Business Case Study
<p>Small Businesses can be a great source of organic growth, few see value in blockchain, nor understand how it can solve fundamental problems.</p>
Proposals Mentors Marketplace
Solution: Develop a platform where proposers can find skilled mentors from the Cardano's community that help to deliver solid proposals.
No-Code for Citizen Developers
<p>The number of people who want to create applications on Cardano far outpaces the number of individuals with the required technical expertise</p>
Hackathons for Startups in Ethiopia
<p>The tech start-up community is growing constantly, but only a hand full of them heard about Cardano and Cardano Project catalyst.</p>
GovWorkCenter Platform
<p>small business are at a disadvantage with working for the US government.</p>
Fund 7+8 Campaign
<p>Low awareness about Project Catalyst outside of our community and thus a lot of untapped potential for the development of Cardano</p>
Fostering Japanese young proposers
<p>The problem is Japan has few Catalyst proposers. Because Japanese ADA holders are just normal investors, not highly motivated entrepreneurs.</p>
Entrepreneurs/Developers Community
<p>Little outreach to entrepreneurs and developers outside the blockchain world, losing projects with high business value for the ecosystem.</p>
Develop Cardano visuals
<p>The current visual styles of the blockchain industry are very similar, making it hard for Cardano to catch attention - unless it stands out!</p>
Connect East Asian Entrepreneurs
<p>There are no initiatives to attract and engage East Asian entrepreneurs where they are, in their local language.</p>
Competition (Top 40 under 40)
<p>How do we get bright entrepreneurs to submit innovative proposals to the Catalyst program.</p>
Community Bond - CRM tool for SME
<p>Connecting all things local. Empowering local businesses & communities to increase loyalty on a digital platform using virtual coins.</p>
Catalyst Infosession at Tech Events
<p>People outside the community are not getting information about Catalyst in Ethiopia</p>
Catalyst Crypto Venture Capital
<p>Traditional business people don't understand how crypto can fund their businesses & how our industry improves the business landscape</p>
CARDONEX ⚡
<p>There is need of a college club focused on organizing hackathons, raising awareness and guiding university student talent towards Cardano.</p>
Cardano exposure on Times Square
<p>Most entrepreneurs are unfamiliar with the community while most ADA investors aren't motivated proposers due to a lack of global recognition</p>
Cardano & Enterprise Dev Agencies
<p>Cardano is not part of typical start up development programmes/incubators etc. Entrepreneurs not aware of possiblities of Cardano.</p>
