For the inaugural FarCon in June 2023, BuilderDAO was one of the few sponsors and saw an amazing impact from that decision. With only 70 attendees at this first FarCon, not only did we see new members join, but we were able to proliferate the platform and have since seen many new members who have joined BuilderDAO and DAOs built on Nouns Builder come directly from Warpcast. This was a hugely successful proliferation.

This prop suggests doubling our efforts for FarCon 2024 May 1-5, as this event will be 7x the size and more than that in attention and live stream viewing, with multiple side events and an hackathon added to the summit. See https://farcon.xyz/ for more info.

I have been discussing needs with the FarCon team, and the following is proposed based on their needs:

2 eth for FarHack hackathon support and sponsorship 2.5 eth to sponsor a premier side event (GM Farcaster live stream at the Nouns Cafe) 3.5 for custom purple noggles and Nouns Builder swag

FarHack hackathon: May 3-5 "the ultimate farcaster hackathon to learn how to build cool farcaster sh*t with cool farcaster people — with 24 hours to start building it and all the hands-on support you may need." more info here - https://farhack.xyz/

GM Farcaster live at Nouns Cafe: the only official nounish event will be a live stream of GM Farcaster podcast's 100th episode with hosts @nounishprof and @adrienne and a special interview with Farcaster founders @dwr and @v. This will be live from the new Nouns Cafe, owned by The Park's Derek G. Taylor. After the interview, there will be a Bagels & Builders BuilderDAO meetup. 2.5 eth is requested to support the event food & beverage and other expenses. BuilderDAO will be a featured sponsor for this event.

Purple Noggles: at last year's FarCon, prof had a few noggles from MotivateMe and they were by far the most coveted swag. This year, MotivateMe has coordinated with his supplier to create purple noggles exclusively for BuilderDAO. This custom run of 1800 noggles will be used for BuilderDAO events throughout the year, starting with 1000 for FarCon. Some additional stickers, temporary tattoos and other items will be added to the noggle packaging to ensure credit back to BuilderDAO.

In addition, prof will be submitting an application for a reprise panel on DAOs as an update to last year's panel at FarCon 2023.

Northstar Check

Builder DAO is dedicated to the creation and development of free and accessible DAO infrastructure as a public good.

This proposal furthers that mission by ensuring visibility and profliferation to our main target audience. The ROI for this level of exposure should be significant. This not only proliferates BuilderDAO but gives support to two of our most successful DAOs: Purple and The Park.

Treasury Impact

Total ask is 8eth and the treasury impact is minimal.
