Major Grants committee

What if we offered performance incentives to the MG committee, where they get to “invest” individually by allocating a portion of their MG Slice portfolio, and where their portfolio gets evaluated for impact after the fact?

I’ve been watching some Dragon’s Den recently, and thinking about how good a Crypto Dragon’s Den would be. It’s fun to watch a panel of knowledgeable and public speaking experts break down the startup pitches and get to the important parts. Maybe something like this would work here. At the least it may be a way to attract a different set of folks (like VCs and thought leaders) to participate effectively.

Who’d do the evaluation? This does just add an other layer of indirection, since now the trust bottleneck is on after the fact performance evaluation. But, this sort of post hoc evaluation is arguably better suited to a committee, while the initial choice of “investments” may be better suited to individuals. So using advisory panel for this could be effective.

What incentives? If the MG Dragons are compensated for their time, then this amount could scale a bit with the post hoc evaluation as a bonus. The reputation effect of being able to take credit for their individual portfolios also acts like an additional incentive.
