Is this related to anything that the foundation usually does for mvfw?

Thank you for taking the time to submit your proposal.

Do you have any proof of concept to show what you and your team are capable of? I’ve looked at your website, I see a lot of blog posts and many team members, but I’d like to see more examples of what we can expect. Having a large team does not equal successfully executing a project of this size.

I also see numerous spelling and grammatical errors in your proposal, which I believe is our first snapshot of “who” you are. Finally, while not everyone uses Twitter for social media, I would prefer to see a grant of this size go (again) to an organization who can already show what they are capable of.

Say no to 30K marketing budgets. Say yes to building our platform so it can actually sustain all the new users these grants claim to bring. Users will come, if we build something spectacular. No more inflated budgets for short-term events.

Hello,

Thank you for your question!

We are not working with Metaverse Fashion Week but we are actively communicating with them.
We believe that we able to implement our project in more succesfull way and bring more people to the DCL community.

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

We have a truly international team consisting of members from Ukraine to Japan and for some of us English is not the first language:)
However, we are truly believe that our LARGE diversified community is a base of successful implementation of our project to attract more people to DCL.
Regarding SNS, we are aware of our small presence on Twitter and following your advice , we will growing there as well. Meanwhile we have been focusing on LinkedIn as it has higher visibility of professionals who are currently not involved but might be interested in Metaverse.

Hello,

Thank you for your opinion!

Our goal is to attract absolutely new users who might not be aware of DCL (i.e. not involved in platform building). Our proposed event will show them how fun and exciting Metaverse can be, so they will stay on the platform and continue growing it.

Im not saying Yes or No at the moment, but do we know if the Foundation is even doing MVFW24 or will they be doing that like they are the MVMF23? This may not be the first grant proposal we see for this if the Foundation does not fund and run it like before. They are weening us off the bottle. Something to consider.
