Hello, frens! 
First of all, congrats for delivering the proposal! I’m glad to see this coming through.
I have a bit of experience in the start-up world, so here are some thoughts and suggestions on how I would improve the Vision, Mission and Values.
Vision
Our vision at StakeborgDAO is to create a wealthy digital colony that represents a reference model for other DAOs and the crypto space in general.
A vision statement needs to pinpoint what the DAO is building towards. Looking at the vision statement above and comparing it against what the DAO’s been doing to this day, there is a significant mismatch.
‘Creating a wealthy colony’ is an intimidating goal by virtue of its sheer complexity and risks confusing news members. Assuming I see this when I first interact with StakeborgDAO, the immediat questions that comes to mind would be: Is this a trading/investment community?
In my opinion, building wealth is a byproduct of what StakeborgDAO is about, namely empowering people with foundational understanding of digital assets (i.e. their utility and properties) and the broader market context (i.e. the role they play in our society) to improve one’s ability to manage their financial health.
I would suggest something along the lines of:
StakeborgDAO empowers people with a foundational understanding of digital assets to help build financial health.
Mission
We made our mission to become a vibrant incubation community that creates wealth to its members by cultivating a Web3 ecosystem of sub-DAOs and guilds, with a focus on DeFi applications.
The mission needs to be laser-focused on what the DAO is doing to reach the vision it set out in its Vision. In its current shape, the mission is abstract and confusing. It lacks focus and runs the risk of leaving too wide a room for interpretation.
I would suggest something along the lines of:
Build an environment where life-long learners tap into the brightest minds of all of crypto to realise their financial goals.
Values
- We believe in inclusiveness and in being kind
- We believe that in real life (IRL) connections transcend into and define our Web3 interactions and values
- We don’t shy away from bold experiments
- We love thinkers as long as they become doers
- We believe in educating ourselves, in learning from each other and in growing together.
- We count on each member’s skills and contribution to shape the culture and grow the value of our community
- At StakeborgDAO we believe in #gettingshitdone
In start-up theory, values or shared beliefs are the characteristics that enable an organisation to execute its mission and achieve its vision.
As some of you mentioned in the comments above, values need to be memorable. In order for them to be memorable, they need to be punchy / concise.
I suggest something along the lines of:
* **Inclusion:** Stakeborgars/girls embrace diversity and encourage participation.
* **Relentless Execution & Iteration:** Fast delivery and iteration is paramount for Stakeborgars/girls.
* **Life-Long Learning:** Stakeborgars/girls are avid learners who are open to having their ideas challenged.
* **Stronger Together:** Stakeboragrs/girls stick together, share knowledge, conceive ideas and scale initiatives from the ground up.
Keen to hear your thoughts and explore this further if needed.
Good addition though, it only shows how varied are individual POV’s. Debating this for the next week will shape Ralu’s core text very nicely.
