Hey Scott, thanks for your questions!
The three core components of Cabin Labs’ mandate are to:
- Run Experiments
- Refine Vision & Strategy
- Keep the Lights On
Here’s what the original proposal said about these experiments:
We ran each of the original experiments in the proposal in the first 3 months of Cabin Labs’ mandate, and then focused on a new set of experiments. The biggest of these was the Neighborhood Accelerator program.
Now, it’s operating successfully, is core to achieving the goal of 500 neighborhoods in 5 years, has autonomous leadership from @savkruger, and is ready to spin out into its own proposal.
This proposal is about her continuing to grow the Neighborhood Accelerator. It is spinning out and separating from my pod, Cabin Labs.
For Cabin Labs, I share updates each season about our progress every season (eg August 2024 - Cabin Digest). You can see every dollar we’ve spent here: cabinlabs.eth | Address 0xc39cf17c216d05cc3C59163718A31897baD80F56 | Etherscan. The budget has been spent across the three categories outlined in my proposal: contributor payments, community incentives, and operating costs. We have $132k left, and I’ll be sharing a larger summary of the progress before I return to the DAO to propose renewing my pod.
Similarly, @grin operates his own independent pod, Meeting Cabin's Technical Needs, which will be coming up for renewal around the end of the year, and I know he is also happy to answer your questions and provide more context about his work.
While we’re happy to answer any questions you have about how this money has been spent in another thread, I don’t want to get off topic from @savkruger’s proposal here, which is specifically about the accelerator program.
