Vector DAO Self-Forms Teams
Share
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
