 All right. Hey you guys. So this is about and Just about um, this is framework for OMG money around funding innovations Or like you just knew stuff funding you Things so this is I have a set of symbols from the book that I wrote methodology to teach accounting and finance easy Easy accounting and finance Introduction and I'm going to use some of those to present this framework to see whether it would be of use This is a new one. I just kind of like made it up Well, at least wrote it down earlier. And so this is the cash symbol. It's supposed to be a 3d coin And so I'm going to introduce you to a few of the players of The game I guess so this is our The recipient of our gift. So this is the customer And they might be paying customers or not, but they benefit from the value of our solutions And then these two folks here. This is an equity investor And this is a debt investor A little layer of nuance is that I also classify grant makers as a customer because they Let's separate it just kind of distinguish between a grant maker who is after impact and a customer who is using the good or service so the value That we're providing of our solution takes Rides in a vehicle and so that's that so they use the the thing That we're making And these guys don't use it but they get super happy when these guys use it and when there's just value that comes out of that So they're happy But they have financial resource These folks have financial resource and they wanted an exchange for a share and these folks I Sorry, that's like a little coin Have financial resource and they just want to be paid back with a little bit more And with lower risk and these folks a lot more Hopefully but they know that they can get like oh This I'm in an awkward situation now. Nothing So these folks what they want in return is just for these folks to be happy And so this is kind of a simplistic but Way of looking at it, but it'll work for now And then we have our workers. So the teams I have two notations here, but they're they're a little bit Maybe early for this stage, but so maybe we can just talk about This person is just simply the workers so literally putting their breath and time and energy into coming up with the value the solution and This simply means that it there is a formal entity and this is An employee of that formal entity. So we might just kind of put that aside for now So these are our teams basically and the teams are kind of like I don't know Haven't made a symbol for teams yet. So if you want to To make it connected to the notion of worker Open to ideas and stuff. So given this cast of characters and we're looking at funding For innovations. I'm going to introduce everybody loves a matrix or at least two axes. So this one is the for the x-axis And how these folks feel and I'll just add that so they've got they've got the financial resource These folks feel about money. So and funding new things Specifically so they're like money. I'm Nervous or about it. They take it all the way to the other end and they're like money. Yee-haw So in As you can probably tell it's the risk profile And whether they've been doing this a lot or not and then here on the y-axis is The teams and their solutions and so I'll just characterize it by It's simple, let me tell you so it's pretty straightforward The path is Relatively clearer as to how they're going to test this out Etc. Etc. And then you go all the way up to the top and they're like, ah, blah, blah, blah, blah It's kind of complicated Or bear in mind our teams Might get it themselves and we might get it ourselves in the community, but their target the well their audience the audience of their talk and whatever Formatic commons are these folks. So they in my experience. They just don't speak the same language, especially Well, I'm looking at the context of climate innovations, for example And then just speaking money So that's very simplistic, but there we have it. We've got We've got our that That came from a mug. I'm just using what I have to hand So that's our access so you've got the folks who have the thing that is needed to join the team and Then I've got a few I've got a few pieces here And so I'll just jump right into it and then do a first plot so for the folks and I and this is what I've seen in my experience at climate kick for the folks who have Who have money and this is a grant making is a grant manager and it was government funded The idea is To use cups so when I talk about cash when we talk about cash and we talk about money It's liquid. All right. Well, it's water Right So it's just sorry those are supposed to be H2O. This is not very well drawn, but anyway So it's water and it's liquid so I've used containers and this is a little cup and so for Something that's simple where Funders are more nervous. It's good to have a little cup of liquidity and then maybe as they get less nervous You can you know do another little cup And then as you know, they're starting to experience it could be like a bigger glass that kind of thing and then For the folks for the investors who are a little more risk. They have higher risk appetite For something that's more straightforward in this world That's not so complicated to explain or has less complexity involved in the solution itself Maybe it's a bucket, but it's definitely something rigid. So these are these are just pieces. I've put them here arbitrarily but it might be helpful in sort of conversations and Then Here's where Here's where It's getting the solution itself is complex to communicate to the folks with funding especially if it's something new Because if it's too easy if it's really easy to understand Like I used to say a climate kick. We might not be doing. Oh, I can't refer to that. Well, we might not be doing Something that's fun and new If the if everyone could understand this so that's kind of like a sign of okay. This is cool We're doing something good here, but this Piece is a cup But like a pretend one so it's drawn onto like a card or playing card or piece of paper So this is this can represent like digital or analog things So this is where it might be a game or an exercise of using a dApp or cryptocurrency or a token or like literal Like we could take little figures and then just use that to test Sort of early-stage things out for the more nervous folks, but these nervous folks would have to be well-versed in the digital if you're gonna use crypto for example because then otherwise you have another layer of complexity from their perspective to explain so It all comes down to I guess in this sense For the teams for our community These folks are a customer of our story Let's say And then finally and this is my favorite space to play so I know I Mean I say that but I forget but I might know more folks in this space In that space maybe in that space Fewer here Who I can introduce folks to potentially but where I'm playing is in this space of It's really emergent. It's really like fun and new and the The money that I'm trying to raise for a pool or pot or fund Format structurally to be determined is Flexible is a bladder. I know it looks like a pear that's got Like fairies in it that are kicking. I don't know That has like a little spout. So there is this just one fat pot of money that It's not even a pot. I just said it's a bladder That can be dispensed as and when It's needed and then when it's run out then it's there's no more there's no more hydration to provide But this requires full Well, it's not just a high-risk appetite. It's really trust and It's full trust in the worker It's themselves and the teams And the just the whole community Surrounding The select. Yeah, let's make it a sun. Just speak. Well, okay Anywho So this is where I'm playing with the steamship group where we've been playing in love is unlimited is really that trust in Trust in the actual human In groups of humans working on the particular thing and As I mentioned is hashtag pay the people So not paying the people is like having like a business built on quantum computers and then not spending money on maintaining and developing the computers or like You know getting and cleaning the data sets to Defeat into the models and stuff. So the hashtag pay the people and so this is just it's flexible. It's real money In this case in the place that that I'm playing But it could be digital as well inside so I can just take this beauty little pieces it could be like Cash or Not cash Fiat whatever it might be Or it could be pure energy it could be somebody's time So all of this can be framed as well as like Payments and kind but that would be kind of like the next step. So that's that's that so to sum up the two simple dimensions that capture a world of information is just the funders or the customers Comfort level with parting with their money the teams to which they part them and then From the perspective well, I guess with the worker being the the teams being the storytellers the accountants storytellers and The funders Being the audience How well can they convey This their idea the solution the thing that needs to be tested moving forward and I think there would be I think there's a There's a caveat Coming up or a couple of points to note One is you might you are still talking to people here and the different conversations Just be mindful of how Homogenous the group is for example Do you see homogenous or homogenous or how diverse they are? This is clearly a very badly drawn pie chart and then taking into account that that Effectively puts you kind of higher here if you've got a more diverse group of Money holders who who want to do good. They really really do So I know really good-hearted folks. I know people who are I guess less focused but the world is moving towards integrating as you all know like impact investing and stuff like that so That I think is it and so I'll just leave you with the picture of a previous version my outtake of digital Currency so I ended up going with this But then I tried to do a pixelated gather space type thing and I couldn't do it Forgive the voice. I'm just hosting a cold virus in my like body system resort. So Yeah, let me know what you think of this Sort of framework and concept and whether you might think it's something worth Yeah, what do you think? How do you feel?
