Scaling Your DAO

Creating a DAO may be easy, but scaling a DAO is hard. This session will explore the governance challenges that arise as DAO membership grows, as well as best practices for successfully navigating those challenges. Panelists will consider different approaches to scaling, including delegating decisionmaking to working groups and sub-DAOs, or reducing the number of decisions made by the community, as well as the risks and benefits of these approaches. Panelists will also consider phasing, short-termism versus long-termism, and ways to incentivize participation, ensure accountability, and manage talent in a growing organization.
