Captains are not just evaluators—they are multipliers. Recruiting, empowering, and retaining them determines a project’s network effect.
Define Captain Roles
Evangelists: explain tech clearly.
Builders: organize and energize community.
Connectors: drive partnerships.
Analysts: validate project value.
Recruit Smartly
Profile by expertise, influence, and commitment. Run tiered onboarding (review → skill test → probation). Reward excellence with:
Economic: token share or revenue split.
Honor: badges, governance privileges.
Growth: mentorship, insider deal flow.
Operate Like a DAO
Hold regular syncs, track deliverables, provide transparent KPIs, and publish performance dashboards. Create a culture of shared mission and peer recognition.
Measure & Optimize
Track engagement, awareness lift, and tangible contributions. Adjust incentives quarterly to keep top talent loyal.
Final thought:
A strong Captain Network is your project’s most valuable intangible asset—an organic growth engine that compounds over time.
