About this episode
Join Tom Wheelwright as he explores the new frontier of blockchain and how DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) can reshape your entire business with his guest, Kevin Owocki.

Kevin Owocki is a blockchain expert and computer scientist. He cofounded Gitcoin and hosts the GreenPill podcast. Since founding Gitcoin in 2017, his vision of a positive-sum ecosystem has facilitated the distribution of over $64 million to projects, solidifying Gitcoin as an essential component of the Ethereum ecosystem. In 2021, the Gitcoin DAO launched, and Gitcoin Grants evolved into a suite of modular and decentralized protocols. As of 2023, Web3 projects integrate Gitcoin Grants through Grants Stack or Allo Protocol, alongside Gitcoin Passport or PublicGoods.Network, further reinforcing its pivotal role in supporting and marketing countless innovative projects.

In this episode, learn how you and your business can be at the frontier of innovation, the exact steps to create a DAO, and everything you need to be cautious of.
