I interview Deepa Chaudhary of ImpactDAO.
Show Notes
How Deepa got into web3 and DAOs
Deepa got into web3 in May of 2021 when India was hit with the delta virus. A large philanthropic donation through Shiva coin caught her intention, and she started to write on Substack about crypto and philanthropy. She got into DAOs when she saw a Ukraine DAO create an anonymous campaign to help people in Ukraine without getting shut down like many nonprofits in Ukraine.
Common challenges faced by new DAOs
Keeping the community engaged is challenging for new DAOs. Dipa also sees a lot of DAOs struggling to create operating systems to keep the DAO running as it gets off the ground.
Deepa’s favorite tools
Wonderverse is a great task management tool for DAOs. It can be used for big-picture planning or micro-planning. Impact DAO is currently making the transition from Google Drive to Notion for knowledge management.
Deepa’s favorite DAOs
Givecoin is an easy favorite for Deepa. She also loves humanDAO which helps people outsource tasks to people in emerging countries.
