Just DAO It: A Podcast for People Starting DAOs

I interview Nathan Phillips of Celium.

Show Notes

How Nathan got into web3 and DAOs
Nathan put all of his eggs into the retail basket right before the pandemic, and when he had to close down his business venture, he started getting into crypto and DAOs. The web3 vision captured his imagination and spoke to his values, so he kept going.

Nathan’s current projects
Nathan is working on a new DAO called Celium. He is helping people learn how to navigate the DAO landscape when they are new. They are developing ways to study and improve DAOs, taking a thoughtful and holistic approach.

Common challenges new DAOs face
The most common challenge is getting from an idea to 20-30 people engaged. Nathan also sees DAOs struggle with legal and financial structures or understanding the DAO tooling landscape.

Some of Nathan’s favorite DAO tools
CharmVerse is built with DAOs in mind, and they have duplicated almost all of Notion’s features.

Common growing pains for DAOs
It is rare for DAOs to have a constitution. It is true that a constitution would be a living document, but having that framework is absolutely critical. The rules need to be laid out in order for the DAO to grow and add membership. Decentralized does not mean disorganized.
