Hi folks,
Applying here as an Enterprise SME for the Catalyst Rep Pilot.
I have experience from a sales, account management, project management, and procurement perspective when it comes to blockchain projects in Web2 businesses, including several large grands like KDPR. I taught the enterprise sales workshop during the 2025 Venture Hub.
I’m mostly going to refer to my linkedin here: D.J. Bodden - STORM Partners | LinkedIn
I am generally open to review any project asking for more than 150k ADA under the premise of driving enterprise adoption. My general criteria are:
- Does the project (or subsequent service) increase the bottom line, competitiveness, security, compliance, risk management, or regulatory compliance of the enterprise?
- Does the project provide end-to-end implementation or is the enterprise expected to deploy effort they would not normally engage in?
- Is the enterprise open to the public mentioning of their brand, committing to long-term use (under conditions), or co-funding the pilot?
- Does the project produce reusable community knowledge and use cases or artifacts, or is it a one-shot custom implementation with high secrecy?
- Does what is being achieved matter, or is it just paying for goodwill?
