Non-functional Requirements

1. Strategy
   • What is your approach to growing the community?
   • How will you maximize attendance of events?
   • What strategies will you implement to bring new proposals into Deep Funding?
   • How will you encourage community members to become active contributors to Deep Funding Circles?
   • Share the specific ideas and strategies you intend to explore and test (The information in your proposal will be private until final evaluation)
2. Potential
   • Define the specific area of interest/focus for the Community Hub.
   • Explain why you selected this topic and how it aligns with Deep Funding’s vision and goals.
   • Highlight the topic's potential impact and relevance within Deep Funding.
   • Outline your team's expertise and experience related to the chosen topic. Experience in managing communities, especially with measurable achievements and metrics, will strengthen your proposal.
3. KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
   Set clear goals for metrics required by Deep Funding, including:
   • Community Growth: Percentage increase in new Hub members per month.
   • Event Attendance: Number of individuals attending Events.
   • Proposals: Number of quality proposals brought to Deep Funding by members of the hub(e.g., for Rounds, RFPs, or Open Challenges).
   • Onboarding Experts: Contribution of valued community experts or key roles to Deep Funding Circles.
4. Proposers are encouraged to define additional goals and metrics aligned with their strategy. On a monthly basis, you will be required to report actual results against these goals, providing context for any variations, as outcomes may influence future budget allocations.
5. Team Expectations and Setup
   • Provide a detailed description of your team, including relevant experience in community building, hosting online or live events, and other related skills.
   • Roles such as hosting, marketing, content creation, and outreach should be considered as part of the 30 paid hours allocated for event planning, execution, and reporting.
   • Familiarity with Deep Funding, SingularityNET, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain is a plus.
   • Highlight your involvement in the proposed community and explain why you are the right person/team to lead this hub.
6. Budget and Options
   • Base Pay: Up to $1,200 per month for hosting Townhalls, community building, and executing activities as outlined in your proposal. This aligns with Deep Funding’s standard of $10 per hour, reflecting a 30-hour-per-week effort.
   • Proposers may differentiate themselves with a more competitive budget or propose fewer events (e.g., 1-2 per month), provided the lower time commitment is reflected in the budget.
   • Clearly outline your planned activities, time allocations for each task, and weekly effort.
   • KPI-Based Payment: Between $400 and $600 per month, based on achieving predefined goals and metrics. Collaborate with the Events Circle to finalize these goals, including:
     • Community growth targets.
     • Events attendance goals.
     • Expected number of proposals submitted to Deep Funding after 6 months
     • Onboarded Circle Members to Deep Funding after 6 months.
     • Additional unique metrics based on your strategy.
7. A portion of the bonus will also consider the global success of Community Hubs. Collaboration among hubs is encouraged, with incentives for teams to share knowledge, work together, and contribute to the collective success of the broader community.
8. Resources
   • Highlight any competitive advantages, tools, or resources your team can leverage to grow the community and host effective events.
   • While differentiation is encouraged, proposals should remain realistic and achievable. A simpler approach that guarantees regular events and steady community growth is equally valued.

Minimum Requirements

• Host at least one monthly Community Event.
• Have a team of at least 3 individuals.
• Build and grow a community (e.g., Telegram, Discord, email) with administrative access shared with the Events Circle team.
• Define clear metrics (e.g., event attendance, community growth).

Additional Ideas for Consideration

Proposals may include other innovative ideas, such as:

• Partnerships with existing communities or organizations.
• Collaborations with universities or educational institutions.
• Live, in-person events.
• Creation of relevant documents, educational materials, or content.
• Strategies tailored to specific regions, topics, or demographics.
• Any other initiatives that have the potential to grow and strengthen the community.

Continuation

Based on the performance of the hub, a decision on extending the commitment will be given towards the end of the awarded term.
