New projects, opportunities and valuable insights
...and preparing to meet up in Barcelona!
What’s currently happening at Deep Work?
Operations
After meeting with a few Deep Work people IRL, there is now an open monthly Q&A session with Andrej. You can now regularly ask him anything here.
I’m now using the term “functions“ for workflows or roles that have different properties, can be loosely defined at first but require a granular documentation once they need to be taught to a different person. Here is a first version of all of Deep Work’s functions.
You are welcome to apply to regular projects at Deep Work, especially Experts who might be interested in representative functions.
DAO Consultancy
After completing the “DAO Incubator“ for Celo’s teams, we are now working on an improved version and proposal. Here’s a Miro board if you would like to contribute with a user journey and the Discord conversation for context.
We are also planning several workshops for MakerDAO in Barcelona to help them define the functions and teams in their organization.
Deep Work Studio
Our outreach project has finished with at least one signed contract and some incredibly valuable insights. Read the documentation of the project here if you are interested in finding clients through meaningful conversation rather than sales tricks. The next outreach project is planned to start in January.
Branding projects seem very popular at the moment, we had four requests in the last weeks with two starting this week and one scheduled for January.
Deep Finance
Mintbase grant over $25,000 has been approved and will mean that we will build out the capability to mint NFTs on NEAR upon completion of a project to verify participation. Completion of the project is estimated at the end of January. Read more details here.
Deep Work’s finance system is transitioning to use Deep Finance this month.
Deep Skills
IMPORTANT: Shadowing is currently not handled in-app. If you are a Lead who wants to confirm a shadower, please look up their email and add them to the relevant calendar invites. We are working on a fix.
You can now express interest in a function (skill) and receive email notifications once a project with the function goes live:
Experts now get notified by email when a contributor applies to a function they lead.
Awareness
Our audience has been growing and is currently at 102 subscribers to this bi-weekly newsletter. If you would like to get involved in writing it (paid), please reach out to Andrej or send a message in this Discord channel.
Deep Experiences
Deep Experiences is scheduled in Barcelona for the 18.11. Join here!
Research & Development
Kristofer from Praise is looking for someone who wants to continue working on Praise, raise funding and/or develop a business model. Reach out to kristofer#1475 on Discord if you would like to help him.
The Human Accelerator project has started with multiple people receiving remote health consultations (free) and started a Notion database for tracking. Reach out to Andrej if you are interested in a closer collaboration on the project or join Thursday’s workshop. Review the Discord discussion here.
