How to Join? Space For the designers!
Duku Creative Co-lab DAO is a collective of the top 1% of designers, brand experts, and creatives in crypto and other streams. We work with and invest in crypto projects in exchange for tokens or equity as compensation. Our services include brand identity and strategy, marketing site design, and product design.
Why you should join?
We’ve built new org structures that make it seamless for contributors to earn equity and tokens for their work. Being compensated in illiquid tokens can be risky so we protect our members by distributing the risks and upside of any one project by pooling these tokens into a portfolio shared by all our members.
To start, we’re tackling three main challenges:
Ownership, not cash
Wealth is generated not through selling time, but by owning assets with asymmetric payoff.
Duku Creator co-lab DAO only accepts equity or tokens as compensation in exchange for services provided. We’ve found that this aligns incentives between project and contributor significantly better. In startups, where speed and flexibility are critical, hourly compensation penalizes these qualities when we want to incentivize the exact opposite. Duku Creator co-lab DAO handles the paperwork and legal structures required for our members to earn equity and token compensation. Members simply have to show up and start contributing.
Diversification
Today, acquiring ownership through work means betting years of your life on a single startup in the hopes it becomes a unicorn. Meanwhile, investors can build portfolios to diversify risk and increase exposure to multiple successful companies.
Duku Creator co-lab DAO provides members exposure to a diversified portfolio of projects through its Sequences model. You can think of a Duku Creator co-lab DAO Sequence like a venture fund (e.g. fund 1, fund 2 etc). Contributors to any deal within a Sequence will own “carry” in the entire Sequence’s portfolio proportional to their contribution as well as feedback from their Sequence’s peers (inspired by Coordinape). This allows a contributor to scale their time to earn ownership in a diversified portfolio of projects instead of just one.
Schedule flexibilityThe idea of 9 to 5 employment is a relic from the industrial era. Knowledge workers are like athletes, meant to sprint and recover.
Members sign up for the level of commitment they deem best for themselves. Duku Creator co-lab DAO works with both full and part time contributors. If members choose to take time off and skip a Sequence, that’s ok too. Unlike traditional startups, there’s no cliff with Duku Creator co-lab DAO.
