What’s Next?
If you did not successfully secure a funding ticket in Fund13, we know this is disappointing; the Catalyst team would like to thank all proposers who have shown the courage to participate and innovate regardless of the funding outcome. We hope the feedback you have received encourages you to strengthen your ideas and enter a future funding round.
Funded F13 Proposers
Congratulations! For those of you who received approval for funding - Catalyst will be in touch with all the next steps & details later this week. Keep an eye out for a separate e-mail with onboarding tasks coming from catalystnoreply@iohk.io email in the next days.
If you are a co-proposer, ensure your primary proposal owner has a valid e-mail associated with the Ideascale account to receive the communication. You must complete onboarding fully in time to claim the funding. Every proposal must have a primary applicant responsible for the grant altogether.
If you need additional support or help finding onboarding information, which must be completed before the end of this month, please reach out and submit a ticket here for further assistance.
Fund13 Incentives
Fund13 voting rewards and ecosystem role incentives distribution is planned alongside the first funded project payments, tentatively at the end of January/beginning of February at the earliest. Subscribe to the announcement channel to be notified when that happens.
An extra appreciation to each of you who participated in this round – from making proposals to refining, acting as reviewers, moderators, all the way to voting. Work doesn’t stop now - with many community members participating in onboarding and Catalyst’s community-led accountability program as well. Learn more about it here.
The list is so long, but we could not have done it without you!
Retrospective
We encourage the community to discuss, debate, and hold retrospectives in the weeks following. Document your discussions in a long-form and share the outcomes widely. Catalyst will also hold series of restrospective town halls in January
Please feel free to leave feedback in this short survey. We’d greatly appreciate your time helping us fill in the gaps and highlight where you believe Catalyst should focus our attention. The outcome of this survey will be shared publicly with all the key insights. You can see what Fund11 insights produced via this link here and Fund12 here.
Thank you,
