Parker Jay-Pachirat is Head of Community and on the Investment Team at Fintech Collective, a DeFi investment firm. She is also part of the Founding Team of Boys Club, a community and DAO helping women and non-binary individuals navigate web3. Parker had a pretty untraditional journey into web3, with a background in humanities and having studied critical theory at a liberal arts college. However, when Parker first learned about blockchain technology, she was so hooked that she decided to pursue a career as a crypto VC, and against all odds, she broke into her dream industry. We dive right into the episode by discussing off chain influences on DAO governance. Parker believes that code isn’t law (despite popular belief) and embraces the nuances of humanity in complex decision making. She believes that by utilizing off chain influences for the greater good of the DAO, you can actually create healthier governance models and more authentically represent the will of the DAO. We discuss the pros and cons of anonymous voting, and issues surrounding social capital, voter apathy, and token voting in general. Parker believes that there’s no one right way to structure a DAO, but instead thinks deeply about how DAO structure and governance can be implemented differently to best serve the unique purpose of individual DAOs. At Boys Club, Parker is directly overseeing the process of turning Boys Club into a DAO and she’s spent the last 11 months researching, creating, and implementing a structure and governance system that is specifically tailored to Boys Club. Parker’s shares what she’s most excited about as a VC - zero knowledge proofs and rollups. We also dive into how Parker distinctly differentiates marketing from community, with marketing being something you can purchase and community being something that is priceless. Parker shares her thoughts on post humanism as it relates to blockchain technology and inadvertently discloses that she is a Neuralink maxi. Through some fun closing questions we learn a little bit more about Parker personally - she loves StarkNet, her job(s), Boys Club forking, and the city of Berlin.  🔗 FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenParker: https://twitter.com/parkerjaypFinTech Collective: https://twitter.com/fintech_ioBoys Club: https://twitter.com/BoysClubCrypto ⌛ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:40 Sponsors!4:14 Welcome Parker8:35 Nuance in web3 communities5:00 Parker’s background11:16 Social Capital and off chain influence 15:09 Anonymous voting 16:53 Issues with token voting 19:48 The ideal DAO structure24:39 Turning Boys Club into a DAO30:08 How Parker became a VC36:22 Parker’s investment thesis40:23 Marketing vs. Community Building 43:59 Post humanism and blockchain tech 49:16 Diversity in crypto 50:30 Rebrand anything in wbe351:18 Systems first, DAO tools second53:29 Community first, tokens and DAOs second54:54 StarkNet1:01:08 If Boys Club were another entity1:01:30 Boys Club fork!1:02:14  If money were no issue1:02:25 Biohacking1:04:38 If Parker could live anywhere in the world1:06:28 Follow Parker! 1:08:14 Shoutouts! 🤝 SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzAvenue: https://avenue.placeGovrn: https://govrn.app DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
