Introduction

Welcome to the Catalyst Onboarded Companies Playbook

Bravo. You've been funded! 🎉

Now, let's get your project started, and get your team familiar with all the good humans, tools, and tips that can help you on your way.

From the moment the voting results are announced, to the completion of your project close-out report, the Catalyst Onboarded Companies Playbook and the Cardano Smarthubs team aim to make your experience smooth and successful.

To begin with, here are the top six questions that funded project teams ask us:

1. What are the specific terms and conditions of the funding, including the amount of funding that will be provided?

2. What is the expected return on investment?

3. What are the expectations and requirements for the company in terms of using the funding and achieving specific milestones or goals?

4. What are the potential risks and challenges associated with being funded through Project Catalyst, and how can these be managed or mitigated?

5. What support and resources are provided by Cardano's community and what services are available in the ecosystem to help our company succeed in achieving its project goals?

6. How will the funding and the company's progress be monitored and evaluated, and what are the potential consequences if the company does not meet the expectations or requirements of the funding?

If any of these questions sound familiar, this playbook is definitely for you!

We've split it into five sections to make it easy to find what you need.

Part 1: Funding and Distributions

Part 2: Using your funding

Part 3: Accounting and Reporting

Part 4: Community Support

Part 5: Useful Cardano Business Technologies

Next, we'll dive into what you'll find in each of these sections. Here we go...
