Service Details
Organize a networking meeting and workshop space at the Cardano Dubai Summit 2023 to present, chat, and discuss with the community about Deep Funding.
Problem Description
One of the biggest challenges in onboarding new people to the Singularity community, marketplace users, and Deep Funding proponents is that they must have prior knowledge of AI, Blockchain, Agix tokens, or the ability to write a proposal.
Solution Description
I intend to strategically leverage the space provided by the esteemed Cardano Summit to entice and engage potential visitors, who, in turn, can seamlessly transform into valuable users. These attendees already possess substantial expertise or harbor a strong inclination to expand their knowledge and skills through their participation in such a prestigious event. Consequently, this presents an exceptionally promising opportunity to attract and onboard new proponents for Deep Funding, while simultaneously fostering an influx of new users to the marketplace.
This proposal garnered significant approval when presented in a community space, prompting my decision to formally submit it for consideration.
Conversations with the foundation to secure a space at the Summit have already commenced, resulting in the approval of a dedicated area for this purpose. The only remaining requirement is to secure the appropriate budget to execute the plan.
The primary objective of this workshop and contact event is to provide both the community and the Deep Funding team with a prominent platform to actively participate and engage.
The envisioned workshop will be thoughtfully structured as follows:
An introductory presentation by a representative from the Deep Funding team or the foundation, explaining the genesis and essence of the initiative.
A presentation by a focus group member or a community representative (if a focus group member is invited, their representation will be agreed upon; otherwise, a community member or ambassador will be chosen during a Deep Funding Town Hall).
A personal presentation by me, sharing my firsthand experience with Deep Funding, my involvement with the team, and my role as a proponent.
Concluding minutes dedicated to distributing merchandise and notebooks among attendees, encouraging them to start crafting AI-related ideas to be published on Deep Funding and initiate their project journey. This activity aims to captivate their interest and foster a sense of belonging to the process from the very outset.
The allocated budget encompasses three full tickets that grant access to various activities, enabling participants to immerse themselves fully in the ecosystem and engage with other members throughout different stages of the event. This inclusive experience will foster valuable networking opportunities and a deeper understanding of the ecosystem dynamics. However, it is important to note that the budget does not cover airfare and accommodations for all attendees. Instead, it includes airfare for the proposer of the proposal and provides hotel accommodations for either the proposer or the selected focus group/community member who will be attending the event.
This event holds immense potential not only in its own right as a highly significant occasion, but it also serves as a pioneering step towards hosting numerous community events worldwide, driven and organized by the people themselves. The vision is to establish a series of such gatherings that empower and unite the global community, creating a far-reaching impact and fostering a sense of collective ownership and leadership.
This inaugural event will serve as the first test and demonstration of a Deep Funding gathering of this nature.
Milestone & Budget
- Milestone 1: Coordination of the space, speech, and speakers. Booking of tickets, hotel and flight tickets. $4672
- Milestone 2: Contracting of merchandise $450
- Milestone 3: Host the event and execute it. $2800
Marketing & Competition
The last milestone payment should only be made if the following KPIs are met.
1. Attendance and Participation Rate: Measure the number of attendees and participants at the networking meeting and workshop. Aim to attract a significant number of people to maximize engagement and interaction. We expect to have at least + 10 attendees.
2. Lead Generation: Track the number of potential new users and proponents for Deep Funding who express interest or sign up during or after the event. This can be done through sign-up Google Forms. This will enable us to monitor participants' satisfaction with the experience, their interest in attending similar events in the future, and their intent to engage in the Deep Funding ecosystem, either as proposers, contributors, or voters. We expect to receive more than + 10 responses, which will provide valuable insights into participants' intent to participate in this process.
3. Social Media Engagement: Monitor the event's social media presence and engagement metrics. Ensure that there are at least 5 posts discussing the event, each receiving a minimum of 2,000 impressions on any social network.

Risk and Mitigation
The only potential risk of the proposal is that, due to reasons beyond the parties' control, the results of the funding round may be delayed to such an extent that executing the proposal becomes unfeasible.
Another potential risk is the possibility of low participation or attendance at the event. However, we can address this challenge effectively by working collaboratively and actively promoting the event through the proposal, the foundation, and the ambassador program. The success of a community event relies on the collective efforts and engagement of all stakeholders involved. By leveraging our combined strengths, we can ensure a higher level of participation and make the event a resounding success.
Voluntary Revenue
The foundation and the community have the right to actively participate in the organization, contribute ideas, provide merchandise, or allocate other necessary resources as required. They also have full access to publicize the event as an official gathering if they so desire. This collaborative approach ensures that all stakeholders can play a significant role in shaping and promoting the event.
Their assistance is kindly requested and will be essential to provide the event with the necessary reach and publicity, as well as to ensure a significant number of attendees. Foundation and ambassador's support in both scope and diffusion will play a crucial role in making this event a successful and well-attended gathering.

Review For: Deep Funding Workshop in Dubai Summit 2023
Expert Review
Rating Categories
Reviews and Ratings in Deep Funding are structured in 4 categories. This will ensure that the reviewer takes all these perspectives into account in their assessment and it will make it easier to compare different projects on their strengths and weaknesses.
Overall (Primary) This is an average of the 4 perspectives. At the start of this new process, we are assigning an equal weight to all categories, but over time we might change this and make some categories more important than others in the overall score. (This may even be done retroactively).
Feasibility (secondary)
This represents the user's assessment of whether the proposed project is theoretically possible and if it is deemed feasible. E.g. A proposal for nuclear fission might be theoretically possible, but it doesn’t look very feasible in the context of Deep Funding.
Viability (secondary)
This category is somewhat similar to Feasibility, but it interprets the feasibility against factors such as the size and experience of the team, the budget requested, and the estimated timelines. We could frame this as: “What is your level of confidence that this team will be able to complete this project and its milestones in a reasonable time, and successfully deploy it?”
Examples:
A proposal that promises the development of a personal assistant that outperforms existing solutions might be feasible, but if there is no AI expertise in the team the viability rating might be low.
A proposal that promises a new Carbon Emission Compensation scheme might be technically feasible, but the viability could be estimated low due to challenges around market penetration and widespread adoption.
Desirability (secondary)
Even if the project team succeeds in creating a product, there is the question of market fit. Is this a project that fulfills an actual need? Is there a lot of competition already? Are the USPs of the project sufficient to make a difference?
Example:
Creating a translation service from, say Spanish to English might be possible, but it's questionable if such a service would be able to get a significant share of the market
Usefulness (secondary)
This is a crucial category that aligns with the main goal of the Deep Funding program. The question to be asked here is: “To what extent will this proposal help to grow the Decentralized AI Platform?”
For proposals that develop or utilize an AI service on the platform, the question could be “How many API calls do we expect it to generate” (and how important / high-valued are these calls?).
For a marketing proposal, the question could be “How large and well-aligned is the target audience?” Another question is related to how the budget is spent. Are the funds mainly used for value creation for the platform or on other things?
Examples:
A metaverse project that spends 95% of its budget on the development of the game and only 5 % on the development of an AI service for the platform might expect a low ‘usefulness’ rating here.
A marketing proposal that creates t-shirts for a local high school, would get a lower ‘usefulness’ rating than a marketing proposal that has a viable plan for targeting highly esteemed universities in a scaleable way.
An AI service that is fully dedicated to a single product, does not take advantage of the purpose of the platform. When the same service would be offered and useful for other parties, this should increase the ‘usefulness’ rating.
