Hi all! After extensive discussions on our Notfellows Tokyo event with Plancker DAO core members @Pablo @link @zh3036, we are making a formal proposal for grant funding 
Name of Event
Notfellows Tokyo
Details and descriptions
Notfellows (started and run by Rebecca Dai, a Yale dropout and serial crypto startup operator) is a global community of 200+ experienced and ambitious builders founding 35+ projects in crypto. We supercharge builders by:
- Fostering a supportive and intellectually active community that helps each other grow
- Creating in-person and virtual events that stimulate deep conversations, relationship-building, and productive knowledge-sharing
- Hosting regional hacker houses to let the best people build worry-free
Notfellows Tokyo will be the third hacker house by Notfellows! Woohoo! 
Our first two houses combined provided free accommodations to ~40 builders, hosted numerous social events, and produced 30+ prize-winning projects. The extraordinary outcomes were driven by 1) carefully chosen hackers, 2) an intentionally curated building environment: light-hearted, genuine, but also hard-working, and 3) unreserved support from dedicated mentors covering all fields.
Some memories we built~
Our Tokyo house will run from Apr 10 to Apr 17, providing free accommodations to ~20 hackers in Shinjuku, the heart of Tokyo, during both DAO Tokyo and ETH Tokyo. In addition, we’ll host highly curated, intimate evening gatherings (capacity capped at 50 attendees). In the past, we’ve seen beautiful friendships and co-founder pairs arise from these events.

Usage of Funds
With funding from Plancker DAO, we aim to:
- Produce as many prize-winning projects in ETHTokyo as possible
- Create opportunities for our hackers, visitors, and supporters
- Contribute to the East Asian crypto community socially and intellectually
Specifically, we will use the funds to cover:
- Hackers’ accommodations
- Dinners, events, and casual gatherings
- Design for posters, banners, and miscellaneous items
- Operations (labor, logistics, materials, printing, etc)
Our ask: $5000 in grant funding
Why does this matter?
In addition to everything we’ve mentioned, we believe:
- Young talent is the future of crypto, and we want to help these builders succeed
- Co-living spaces can be magical. They give birth to not only lifelong friendships but also industry-defining ideas.
- This event will serve as a physical anchor point for Notfellows, its partners, and other groups dedicated to public goods to explore sustainable growth.
