To me, the Rise of DAO Culture synthesizes group culture and decision making with cooperative leadership, while working to avoid the dangers of trade organizational practices. I recently joined my first DAO and from the beginning, I was immediately impressed by how different it is compared to other businesses and organizations I had been a part of.  First, they got back to me extremely quickly, which was very exciting and encouraging! In traditional organizations, onboarding new talent can typically take anywhere from 1-4 months from the first interview until the start date. With many decision-makers at a variety of levels, a new hire can quickly fall into a stalemate. This time lost can be the difference between kicking off a successful project and falling behind on deliverables or deadlines. Web 2 companies have been losing the talent war to Crypto and Web 3.". Salaries have always been important to job searches and they will most likely be the main factor that influences someone accepting new roles, however, sometimes speed and purpose are factors that have led many to consider working for a DAO.

One of the things that attracted me to DAOs is the fact that these types of organizations have no central authorities to control what participants do. In other words, DAOs are autonomous organizations that exist only on the internet- completely independent from any type of controlling entity existing in the real world. Unlike traditional companies, DAOs can perform certain tasks with more efficiency because they are completely autonomous and immune from outside interference and issues emerging due to hierarchies. The traditional hierarchy creates rigidity resulting in a model that stifles creativity and employee initiative. I was onboarded onto this DAO in only two weeks, quickly moving from a newcomer to being fully immersed in the culture and contributing to projects. To outsiders only familiar with traditional processes in Web 2 this seems crazy. Why would you ever allow a newcomer in, and immediately allow them to jump into the internal processes, to “see how the sausage is made?” But in the future of the internet, this will become commonplace. With the rise of DAO culture, no longer do you need to wait a certain amount of time to be deemed valuable. our efforts, your passion, and your hunger for learning are rewarded on day one. It might take a little while longer to get paid, but for many in DAOs, money isn’t the primary motivation for coming together and building a shared future.
