Another great day at frontier fridays hosted by @Superteamuk the @TootalBuildings in Manchester It was great to have PIPE gDAO represented at the @MaxwellBondTeam workspace, connecting with people from across Manchester’s growing tech, digital and innovation community. Plenty of good conversations, new connections and even a few stickers picked up along the way 👀 Thanks to everyone involved for another brilliant day

Join us on the space with our partner @LayerOneX and @ApeBond for some exciting news! xitter.cf/i/spaces/1dJrPryqqaVKX

Last thursday, we attended @Mancweb3 x @StandWCrypto_UK social in Manchester, connecting with others from across the city’s growing blockchain and Web3 ecosystem. It was a valuable opportunity to share what we’re building at PIPE gDAO, exchange ideas and discuss the future of research commercialisation, DeSci and decentralised investment. Thanks to everyone involved for a great evening. #PIPEgDAO #Web3 #DeSci #Blockchain #Manchester

Last week, we joined Frontier Fridays 🤠 in Manchester! A great day connecting with people across the city’s tech community, sharing what we’re building at PIPE gDAO and hearing about some of the exciting projects happening across Manchester. Thank you for the invite!

Absolutely, we are proud to you as a strategic partner!

Here’s an analysis for discussion from the CEO of our joint venture partner @ThePIPEcompany FAO @vitadao! Standardised validation before treasury deployment: would a structured stage-gate assessment strengthen VDP decisions? “ Hi all, Robert Steele here. Full disclosure up front: I'm the founder of The PIPE Company (Lab to IPO) in the UK, we run our own DAO (PIPE gDAO) alongside a regulated-market track, so this is both a genuine question and a service we offer. Treat it accordingly. First, congratulations. Crossbridge Bio's acquisition by Eli Lilly is the proof point this whole space has been waiting for, and the community that funded it deserves enormous credit. Here's the question I'd like the community's view on. VitaDAO's dealflow now attracts serious external attention, and the recurring critique from institutional co-investors (the ones this sector says it wants) is not the science or the funding mechanism, it's the absence of standardised, auditable diligence behind funding votes. Community and expert review are real signals, but they aren't comparable across proposals or acceptable to a compliance function. For the past several years we've built and used QED, a stage-gate validation methodology for university research: 562 evidence checkpoints across 12 streams (technology readiness on the NASA-origin TRL standard, market, regulatory pathway, IP integrity, team, and others), producing a comparable evidence file, a Gap Risk Index, and a go/hold/no-go recommendation per project. It was designed for exactly the asset class VitaDAO funds: early, pre-company, university-origin research. What I'd propose, if there's appetite: a paid pilot where we run a small batch of incoming proposals (say 3 to 5) through the QED process before they reach a governance vote, with the full evidence files published to the community. The DAO gets a comparable diligence layer and a stronger story for institutional co-investment; we get to prove the methodology on live dealflow. Commercials are flexible, retainer, per-assessment, or partly token-swap along the lines of prior DAO-to-DAO arrangements. Questions I'd genuinely like answers to before any formal proposal: 1. Do longevity-fund members feel diligence depth is currently a gap, or is expert review sufficient? 2. Would published, standardised evidence files change how you vote? 3. Has the DAO had institutional co-investors ask for exactly this? Happy to share a sample (redacted) QED evidence file in the thread, and to take criticism on the methodology itself. That's what it's for. ”

We have an exciting announcement from our RWA tokenisation partner @ThePIPEcompany on behalf of @TheFCA! “PIPE has been accepted into the FCA's Innovation Pathways programme, which provides feedback and steer on regulatory matters. This support will help PIPE address the regulatory considerations that arise as it develops the infrastructure needed to facilitate the commercialisation, trading, and exchange of university research and intellectual property.”
