I have heard we may have to create a “company” with limited liability to get the investment for the next stage. This has become a concern of mine.
As far as I know, the entity of a limited company is far different from a DAO. There will be a gap between the company and DAO on governance, regulations and taxation, which requires more paperwork to make sure the company and the DAO are solely bound and the current governance by community is applicable to the company.
I wouldn’t see a shadow company of DAO as a bad idea, but I’d consider this is a strategic decision for the future of the DAO because once this is done, there will be no way to revert.
Below questions should be thought twice:
-
Is a proposal required for the creation of the company?
-
Is this a requirement from the investor? If yes, are they really a web3 investor for DAO?
-
Is it possible we run the DAO as a DAO? Is unlimited liability a problem for a DAO or the nature of a DAO?
My 2 cents.
