With the first month of the Ideation Pod having concluded, Iād like to share with the DAO the costs incurred by each ideation team and the funding distributed from the DAO treasury.
As a reminder, the DAO set aside 500 USDC per month to cover basic costs that may come up in the process of the ideations.
Ideation: Cabin Events
No costs were incurred since the work was focused on planning. As such, no funds were distributed.
Ideation: Social Scraping
The only cost was Twitter API, which JonBo was able to get down from $100+/month to $50/month. Hence, 50 USDC was distributed to him.
Ideation: Cabin Productions renamed: Cabin Crafted
Since this ideation required high-quality video that our branding and marketing depended on, there were significant upfront costs. Katya - the sole team member - took most of the expenses upon herself, with the Stewards distributing the remaining 450 USDC to her to help out.
The total costs included technical costs:
And the flights (~$600). The accommodation costs at MTNHAUS were generously covered by Dan.
As such, the total expenses totaled ~$3,540, of which the DAO covered $450.
With all 500 USDC distributed, nothing was returned to the treasury this month.
