B2DAO, with John Morrow and Larry Sukernik

I Pledge Allegiance

In this episode of I Pledge Allegiance, host Derek Hsue chats about B2DAO with John Morrow (COO of Gauntlet) and Larry Sukernik, co-founder of Reverie. B2DAO is a new concept that's emerged in the past few months, and John's company Gauntlet has been at the forefront of these new types of business relationships. We explore how the B2DAO model is different from existing systems, why it benefits projects that hire vendors, and how these processes can be improved.
