Mike is “back” from an intense 3 week business development trip in China and Vietnam. Lots to unpack and already making various introductions to team members here to scale up faster and grow more efficiently.
The Hamza marketplace demo is on track for EthCC / July 8, 2024. Working closely with strategic partners on various integrations and announcements.
Planning a Decom Dinner (decentralized ecommerce dinner) during Eth CC – looking at doing it on July 9 – finding a restaurant and creating invitation. The goal is to invite those potential partners, investors, and early adopters to network with and talk more deeply about decentralized ecommerce.
Development team is forming nicely, John working on reviewing the sprints and the team structure as we plan to continue to become experts at this “decom framework”.
Governance is making strides with the first outcome of the “pre-hamza” times (pre-2024). Had a nice “kumbaya” call last Friday and are in the second round of voting on Coordinape to empower the team.
