Open-Source Funding vs Venture Capital with Scott Moore

In this episode I spoke with Scott Moore, the co-founder of Gitcoin and Public Works. Scott was one of the pioneers in public goods funding through quadratic funding and DAOs.

During the discussion we talk about the "everything is coordination" meme, his advice for starting a DAO, and open source development. We also talk about our differences in views on the role of venture capital in crypto and avoiding the issues with the status quo for more collective forms of investment.
