Vector DAO Self-Forms Teams

Vector DAO is a decentralized design agency that operates through a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) structure, allowing designers to collaborate without traditional agency hierarchy or hiring processes.

Key Points:

  • Organization Structure:

    • Collection of high-level designers in a DAO format
    • No formal hiring/firing process
    • Members can join and contribute at will
  • Project Execution:

    • Designers self-organize into small teams ("guilds") of ~5 people
    • Teams form ad-hoc based on project needs
    • Members choose which projects to contribute to
  • Business Model:

    • Companies pay the DAO for design work
    • Described as "expensive" but high-quality
    • Functions like a traditional agency but with decentralized structure
  • Work Process:

    • Projects are available to all DAO members
    • Designers can form teams spontaneously
    • Members can contribute as much or little as they want
    • No forced assignments - all work is opt-in
