Proposal: Regen Network Ecosystem Narrative & Fundraising Alignment Facilitation Work

Governance
1

Hi Regen Network Community, Giulio Quarta here, community member and consultant, in this post I propose myself for a month of work aimed at clarifying the narratives and fundraising strategies of the Regen Network ecosystem.

Context and Proposal

The Regen Network ecosystem is going through a phase of changes, where the leading entities are discussing with the community to figure out what’s the direction to take for the next months and years in terms of narratives and revenue models / fundraising strategies.

The ecosystem is composed of different stakeholders and groups, with different functions, degrees of autonomy and interaction between each other. For the purpose of this proposal and work, I’ll simplify the ecosystem by dividing it in 3 entities : Regen Foundation (the non profit arm), Regen Network Development (the commercial arm) and the Regen Tokenomics DAO (the group dealing with the Regen Token and blockchain-related aspects, including Regen Liquidity DAO).

In the difficult effort which every ecosystem has to face, balancing coherence and autonomy among the stakeholders, it’s shared opinion among many that Regen Network has struggled with coherence, and still is : it’s not very clear, neither internally nor externally, what is the shared narrative of the ecosystem, what’s the function of every stakeholder and element - this is particularly true for what regards the role of the Regen Token.

My proposal here is to conduct a month of research and facilitation work meant to increase the clarity about what are the needs and plans of the different stakeholders, especially in terms of narratives and revenue models.

This Miro Board I already worked on can be useful to have a sense of the work I am proposing here, but please consider only this post in terms of the details of the current proposal.

Structure and timeline of the work

  1. (3-5 hours total) Narrative and revenue models so far :

For each of the three stakeholders (RF, RND, RTD) : synthesizing the narrative, expertise/function of the entity, revenues model, fundraising strategy, role in the ecosystem

-This doesn’t require calls because most of this information is already available online or in my knowledge, in case of doubts I’ll contact who is needed via email. This syntesis will also be shared in the context of the following point and edited in case of mistakes.

  1. (8-10 hours total) Narrative and revenue models for the next months/years :

same elements, but clarifying what is already decided/clear/unambiguous and what is not

-This will involve 1-2 calls for each stakeholders (either 1to1, 1toTeam, or questions during the corresponding community calls)

  1. (8-10 hours total) Ecosystem, synthesis of the info so far, plus a final round of targeted questions / calls

in this context the 3 narratives&revenue models will be synthesized in a broader ecosystem perspective, with a clear distinction between what is mostly clear and what has to be figured out yet, with a focus on which are the current points of misalignment among the stakeholders.

Deliverables

The deliverable will be a synthetic document with 1/2 pages for each of the following sections, including a visualization as support - similarly to what I did in the Miro Board - and a presentation of the output to the community.

(narrative and revenue model = N&RM)

  1. Regen Network Ecosystem so far (N&RM)

  2. Regen Foundation’s past & future strategy (N&RM)

  3. Regen Network Development PBC’s past & future strategy (N&RM)

  4. Regen Tokenomics DAO’s past & future strategy (Narrative and Tokenomics)

  5. Regen Network Ecosystem’s future strategy - synthesis and next steps : where should we focus on to achieve a clear and shared ecosystem strategy?

Note 1: the most complex part will be dealing with the Regen Token futures and its integration with the broader ecosystem narrative and business model, but it’s also the most important one!

Note 2: there is room for integrating this work in the context of the Regen Commons process, open to talk about it, but they can also run in parallel; importantly, this research work will take much less time than RC (1 / 1.5 months).

Pay

For this work, I would like to be paid 1000 USD of value in Regen Tokens from the Regen Community Fund, but also open to hear about other options in case.

Thanks for your attention!

Guilio, I appreciate what you are pointing at here. I would be most interested to hear from people within these organizations about whether they think this would be valuable or not. My sense, as someone working with RND, is that this type of work is going on constantly and that having someone come from the outside to try to synthesize wouldn’t be that helpful to those who are already working on it.
My hope is that there will be some messaging clarity that will be offered to the community shortly from the work happening in RND, specifically about REGEN token messaging. And then, if the community responds well, we can run with it.

How do you propose that your work would add something of additional value to those who are already working full time in these organizations?

We actually do have some active funding interfaces already:

That said, these aren’t unified or narrative-driven yet. A single hub that explains as well as channels capital flows — and how they connect to impact — could go a long way in strengthening both fundraising and comms.
