Frontiers Of Coordination #5 Keeping Web3 Real w/ Daniel Ospina

NextMeta

Daniel is a design facilitator and leadership nerd that started as a chef. From a restaurant where he learned about molecular cuisine and the intersection of science & cooking but got annoyed by hierarchy, to helping people build decentralized organizations & starting rnDAO.

His journey was anything but straight. From the food industry through consumer electronics, he played various roles before transitioning to creativity consultancy and organization design with a specialization in self management, a path that led him through systems thinking and cybernetics and finally into web3 and DAOs.

Some of the topics:

• Molecular cuisine???
• Governance and coordination in Web2 vs Web3
• Making innovation communities sustainable
• The tension between communities and investability
• Discipline & creativity
• The issues with VC funding
• The importance of communities
• Metrics and OKRs

"Hopefully with these new mechanisms we can create a more sustainable and

collaborative way to do these sorts of deep innovation that is happening to some degree in crypto and Web3, but really now take it to the next step and help bring DAOs mainstream. We need a lot of perspectives because governance, community-architecture and this whole new types of organizations and this better way of organizing are very complex.”
