Thrilled with our latest product marketing hire, thanks to @missing_link_io & @Polkadot's ecosystem hiring initiative. Their Web3 network & experience, funded by #Polkadot's treasury, made a crucial hire possible. Grateful for the impactful collaboration! 🤝

Yesterday I spoke with a candidate for BD that was found by the amazing head hunting agency Missing Link I was really impressed not only by his track record in a very successful competing blockchain (cannot say the name) but by his ability to deeply understand and explain how a proper BD strategy is supposed to work and be executed, I could tell that I was speaking with someone that had "been there, done that" (similar to when I speak with Ingo from PoKe) and not someone that was just trying to "let's throw something at the wall and see if something sticks" - which is still better than doing nothing I'm very concerned that the best people out there that can make the difference for Polkadot are not aware of the existence of the Decentralized Futures program from W3F and that the only people that are applying are the ones that got fired from parity or are close to the ecosystem There are truly amazing people outside of the ecosystem that don't even know about this opportunity I am encouraging Missing Link and other head hunters to post a proposal to find TOP people from other chains for BD and marketing and then encourage them to apply to the Decentralized Futures so we can improve the quality of the applicants and hopefully the impact of those funds
