GCR

GCR 101

1) What is GCR?

GCR is a research and investment DAO.

Holders of $GCR and writers on the platform get access to the best resources the community has to offer, including but not limited to deep insights and research generated by the community, founder-focused events online and offline, learning and user feedback sessions, and direct deal-flow.

2) Who are the GCR community members?

Angels, VCs, technologists, executives in the crypto space and beyond who are looking to support a project long term
Long-term members and supporters such as Benny Giang, co-founder of Cryptokitties, Kyle Samani of Multicoin Capital, Amber Group, Metacartel DAO, EthGlobal, the Near founding team, Partners at Hashed, Seed Club and more.
The GCR community is global by nature, they speak many languages and very tapped into the crypto opportunities around the world.

Join the Community now! You will need 100 $GCR to join.

3) How are you different from other investment DAOs?

While the $GCR token allows one to vote on governance and community decisions, that’s to the extent of our similarities with a DAO.
For any deal flow presented to the GCR community, every member has a choice. They can decide to invest if they want to, or pass.
In the current, majority of the investment DAO structure, members pool their capital together, and everyone votes on each investment. The majority decision wins on whether to invest in a deal.
Our members have had the opportunity to invest in the following deals.

5) Where can I access ongoing deals as Pioneer / Gold / Gold Pro member?

In Discord server, head over to #deal-sourcing-and-suggestions-v2 to get access to ongoing deals.

If you click the # button (threads) on the top right, you can see active and archived threads to current and past deals.

Make sure to turn on your notification to #deal-announcements to stay up to date on the most recent deals!

6) What is the process behind participating in an investment round?

Typically, we start with an investment call with the founding team. These calls are listed in #events and a thread is created under #deal-sourcing-and-suggestions-v2. At this point, the project will be listed as DILIGENCE.
After the call, community members can engage in discussion on the deal thread, and ask follow-up questions.
Once the terms of fundraising are set, a Google Signup Form will be shared for interested parties and the thread will be updated to the RAISING. If a member is interested in investing in the project, they will be prompted to fill out the form.
After the Google Form is filled, the team will contact the member to confirm this interest by email. If the member confirmed the interest, but back out at the time of funding, the member will be penalized and may be restricted from participating in future deal opportunities.
Once confirmations are final from the community, the status of the deal thread will be updated to CLOSED.
A DocuSign is sent prompting payment (with wiring information), KYC and Self Accreditation. Members are also required to fill out a tax form (W8/W9) for tax purposes.
