Krause House is a DAO governed by the community, the fans, the basketball lovers and purists. A collective of ambitious contributors whose goal is to own an NBA team describes the underlying mission of Krause House in its purest form: Difficult by one, achievable by many. \n\nAt All in For Sport, at our core, we believe that sport has the ability to make meaningful change in the world. \n\nWe’re bringing together a community of contributors, funders, social organizations and grass roots projects in a new way to transform the way philanthropy works. We are using web3 tools to flip the philanthropic model to redesign how resources make their way into the hands of the community groups and sports projects that will have the greatest positive impact on the communities they are in. \n\nIn our early stages this focuses on basketball and refurbishing community basketball courts around the world but the mechanisms that we are designing and experimenting with have transformational potential beyond these first initial steps.  \n\nAddressing the metacrisis in 2 distinct ways:\n\nCreating and evolving a mechanism for community signal to drive collective intelligence in resource allocation: The capital allocation model for community and social infrastructure needs to be flipped. Going from a 20th century “capital knows best” to a model where capital flows to the places where community collective intelligence indicates the needs and opportunities are greatest, and where the capital is genuinely in service of this need. \n\nTo achieve this, All In For Sport is running experimental quadratic funding rounds to fund local sport based social initiatives, starting with basketball court refurbishment projects around the world. We are evolving a model where local communities signal (through quadratic funding and quadratic voting) which projects are serving genuine community needs, and who the trusted community contributors are. Based on this signal, resources can easily flow on Web3 rails to where they are needed. Here is a link to a post outlining this staring initiative: https://mirror.xyz/0x7B7aE39D0ffA8d2a5128b251d332E9d0bF22cfa1/dUNKKmbIjhPdD0_UtIZIU-iUX_nR12hSwUm9cRf8-xw   \n\nDesigning DAOs as “purpose driven networks of small autonomous teams”: To cope with the complexity and uncertainty that pervades our world, we need DAOs to become coordination mechanisms that can be both “purpose driven” -  i.e able to hold and evolve a clear vision of a positive future that they are trying to bring about -  but also flexible, effective and constantly evolving. To achieve this balance we need to let go of the legacy concept of entities (the hangover of the for-profit/not-for-profit duality) and embrace networks of small autonomous teams that can generate a shared collective intelligence. Collective intelligence sourced from a diverse network of nodes moving in many directions at once to steer the larger collective towards its goals.   \n\nAll in For Sport, in partnership with SuperBenefitDAO, is designed as a purpose driven network of small autonomous teams. This revolves around a novel dual governance structure where a large diffuse Community Governance wraps around a nimble and highly flexible Operational Governance. Operational governance delivers innovation and scale while Community Governance holds and protects the purpose of the DAO. We think this design has the potential to transform how we structure purpose driven projects (and news flash, all projects should be purpose driven!), and get ourselves out from under the entrenched legacy structures that constantly stifle our attempts to coordinate to solve systemic problems. \n\nWe are doing all of this design in public and open-sourcing all of the primitives and tools we are building and using to implement it. Here is a post that unpacks what we are doing in more detail outlining how this design overcomes the perverse incentives and coordination failures or our legacy paradigm: https://mirror.xyz/yeoro.eth https://superbenefit.mirror.xyz/Gx_rXSPOyt2sydHwlStfbrgVqYt6P3k5huT3xyZAolo \n\n\nFor our first round we plan to use the Allo Protocol to do something big!  An East Coast vs West Coast battle to raise funds for community basketball court refurbishments in two chosen communities in the USA. Pitch in what you can to help make this philanthropic experiment a reality!\n", "logoImgData": {}}
