Big update on the most legit DAO I know: @OmniacsDAO (incubated by @OmniAnalytics) Today they launched $IACS on @PondGNN. I’ve been into data since I was 7. Blackjack was my entry point. That led to poker, then startups. At @cfsalads (YC W19), data shapes most of my decisions. One group that’s pushed my thinking over the years is the Omniacs DAO. I first met Omni Analytics Group in 2017, when they were working on projects in forensics and agtech, and just starting to explore crypto. Fast forward to now, they’ve become a DAO with members building across AI, crypto, and public goods. A few ways I’ve collaborated with them: * Customer analytics for Clayton Farms * Support launching @FantasyTopHUDs for @Fantasy_Top_ * Help running the early experiment * Spinning up Farcaster and Blast channels that became real learning hubs They’re not just theorizing. They ship and get results. The DAO helped us open-source our farming tech at Clayton Farms and take 3rd at a @Filecoin x @protocollabs hackathon: The DAO teaches data science through @gitcoin quadratic funding rounds: The DAO's latest move? They took 2nd in @VitalikButerin's Deep Funding Challenge (ran on Pond's platform). Last Friday, Omniacs DAO launched on Pond. The target was $50K. The campaign was 200%+ funded. You can read the entire focus and milestones on the Pond site here: While this is NFA and DYOR, it’s cool to see the best data scientists in the world finally get some recognition they deserve. I know the DAO is going to stay heads down building mode and will only be accepting new members in the short term who want to contribute.
