Some buzz about DAOs
We had an interesting conversation about DAOS at one of our recent Dynamic Leadership Lean Coffees. We’re curious to learn and understand them.
Below are some resources that we found worth sharing.
Leadermorphosis podcast: Kate Beecroft on the critiques and possibilities of DAOs with Lisa Gill
Lisa Gill, host of Leadermorphosis podcast, talks with Kate Beecroft. Kate works on ecosystem and community building at Centrifuge, the decentralised asset financing protocol., and has been involved in Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) since 2018. She brings to them her experience of self-managing organisations as the co-founder of Greaterthan and a long-time member of Enspiral.
Lisa and Kate talk about common critiques of DAOs and Web3, as well as how we could share learning more across the worlds of self-managing organisations, DAOs and cooperatives.
Make sure you check out the amazing resources in the episode notes.

A creature of Web3, Centrifuge is infused with the same values. And that’s why it’s run by a self-managing organization (SMO) that’s uniquely designed to foster decentralization.
Democratized access, autonomy and decentralization are the key principles of this movement and underpin the Web3 protocols and DAOs that form around them.
Born against a backdrop of market failure and advances in blockchain technology, Centrifuge aspires to solve inefficiencies and inequities in the global financial system.
Just as we are bringing transparency, access, fairness, and integrity to the world’s financial system we are using these same principles, as well of those of Web3, to organize our team.
Bondaryless podcast: Colony: distributed organizations that actually work – with Aron Fischer and Jack du Rose
If you’re excited to dive deep deep into how a DAO’s inerds work, - buckle up! This podcast is for you.
Simone Cicero and Stina Heikkila of the Bondaryless team talk to Jack du Rose (former jeweller, current blockchain nerd, and founder of Colony) and Aron Fischer (Mathematics Ph.D) from Colony.io — an infrastructure for internet native companies and a key player in the evolution of Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs).
How, according to Colony, a lot of the question of autonomous organizing is about distributing budgets through reputation.
How time-based mechanisms that ensure self-executing of rules make organizations have more bias towards action.
How the new priorities of organizing ask for building massive new capabilities and how these new technologies can create new affordances to make this possible.
