Interview with Aléksa Mil of WACEO

Just DAO It: A Podcast for People Starting DAOs

How Aléksa got into web3 and DAOs

Aléksa has a background working in startups and accidentally applied for a role in a DAO. Understanding how DAOs work seemed to come naturally to her, so she dove straight into the web3 world from there.

Aléksa’s company and how it is structured

She is the managing director of a decentralized nonprofit that supports DAOs with governance, frameworks, community, compliance, and more. Her members are either service providers or individual consultants that help other DAOs.

Common growing pains Aléksa sees in DAOs she works with

Understanding what a DAO is and how decentralization works is the most common struggle Aléksa sees. Communities are not used to having the amount of power that they have in DAOs. Aléksa helps DAOs communicate to community members what their role is and what it could evolve into.

The number one piece of advice Aléksa has for new DAOs

Don’t trust one person too much. Do your research and get information from a lot of different sources. Also, find someone to give you a crash course on the basics of DAOs.

Aléksa’s favorite tools for DAOs

Charm First combines Discord and Notion while also creating a feed-like feature that mimics Twitter or internet forums. It is built with a web3 organization in mind.

Aléksa’s favorite DAOs

Aléksa is launching a project to educate female legal professionals in the DAO space. She wants to target underrepresented women in different communities. She also likes Open Currnt, which is a DAO in the making looking to bridge the gap between web2 and web3.
