🤝 Events playbook

The meetups are supposed to be a lot fun, but its not all there is to a valuable meet-up. To have a higher chance of success, and to get more from the Pizza Fund down the line, we recommend doing as many of these as possible:

• ⛺ Limited attendees: Invite a small group of not more than 8-10 people. Focus on a size and venue that enables everyone to talk to everyone else at least once. A generic web3 meetup isn’t the best fit for this, we’re only looking to support meetups where attendees are:
  • Developers
  • Artists
  • Creators (writers, researchers, Youtubers, etc.)
  • Investors (both Angels and VCs)
• 🗨️ Primer on crypto: Depending on how much is necessary, you help folks find their way into the Superteam and Solana ecosystem. Make them feel at home!
• 😎 Merch (optional): Coordinate with the Superteam Global team to get merch — T-shirts, stickers, bags, etc., for attendees to take back as a souvenir.
• 🍣 Food & Coffee: This is what the bulk of the $ should go towards. Ideally meet over breakfast, brunch, lunch or coffee. Make sure everyone has a good time. An ideal meal is one where (1) everyone can talk to each other, (2) reasonably priced and prudently ordered without wasting food or money.
• 📥 Invitations: You ideally invite everyone there who is now curious about Solana and Superteam. Once they join you should also act as their buddy & show them around the Discord, Open Projects, Bounties, and Grants, so that they can do their first contribution as early as possible.
• 🤝 Onboarding: The dinner is an opportunity to invite specific people who you already know have a clear path to valuable contribution to the Solana ecosystem. Ideally, this interaction is a turning point in their career, bringing them onto the Solana ecosystem:
  • Digital artists and community founders,
  • Founders of a crypto projects looking to expand to Solana,
  • Investors looking to invest in crypto projects in India,
  • Developers already considering looking for jobs and gigs in crypto, etc.
• 📷 Proof of meet-up: You ideally take picture and put them up on your social media of choice with a short caption with your experience, learnings, or thoughts. Tag @SuperteamDAO and we might share it as well!
• 💬 Follow up group: Everyone who attends, invite them into a private Telegram / Whatsapp group that you’re an admin of. This way you can be in touch, and help make happen more plans that were discussed at dinner!

Note: Getting approved for a grant is in no way to be understood as an endorsement or partnership. Your event will be a community event and in no way should you represent to 3rd parties that it’s a “Superteam event” or in any sense official. For more feel free to get in touch with Neil at @neilshroff on Twitter.
