TL;DR⌐◨-◨: UnitedTribes & @jdagogo bring WarpedWorld to Nouns, the web3 reimagining of the biggest and longest-running music, sports, and cultural touring festival, Warped Tour. WarpedWorld is a collaboration of the original Warped partners/founders and Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
Together, NounsDAO and WarpedWorld will create a newly empowered world and community where entire industries like music and entertainment are reimagined through the use of NFT technology.
This proposal launches a partnership growth strategy during which @jdagogo will focus exclusively on executing initiatives within the Nouns ecosystem.
The initial focus of this proposal is WarpedWorld, the web3 reimagining of the Warped Tour festival and community. The festival was founded over 25 years ago by J.D. and his collaborators.
Additionally, this proposal aims to refine the playbook for onboarding established communities into the Nouns ecosystem and web3, empowered through a Nounish development hub, and including the introduction of WarpedDAO.
Introducing Nouns to millions of people and empowering communities to join Nouns will achieve a high ROI on this initiative.
Throughout this prop, UnitedTribes led by @jdagogo (J.D. Heilprin) will use the same approach he's used as an entrepreneur and Entrepreneur/Evangelist in Residence to generate a variety of projects, outlined below. The main focus is onboarding new communities and creating collabrative partnership opportunities for NounsDAO via WarpedWorld.
WarpedWorld will kick-off with a series of IRL activations involving and proliferating the NounsDAO community. The initial term will lay the foundation for a long-term Nounish collaboration.
In the first 6 months, J.D. will bring his WarpedWorld project and partners to the Nouns ecosystem, and a series of proposals will be introduced to the NounsDAO.

The primary objective is to create distinctly Nounish projects and proposals by leveraging J.D.'s network and experience activating new communities. Success will be achieved by expanding the reach of Nouns to new communities and working with the Nouns community of builders, resources, and tools to implement these proposals.
The success of this initiative will be measured by qualitative and quantitative metrics. To this end, J.D. and UnitedTribes will launch a blog for updates throughout the entire proposal period. J.D. will also host a live Twitter space once per month for live Q&A’s and progress updates for all things Nouns Get Warped!
J.D. is a multi-venture entrepreneur and builder who began his career at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). He co-founded Warped Tour early in his career, building the online and IRL community at warpedtour.com.
J.D. has founded multiple startups, all aimed at introducing tech innovation to consumers. His ventures include Rioport, the first commercially available mp3 player and platform and the first to license every major record label. He also founded ModernFeed, an online video guide that CBS acquired as Clicker, and AGOGO, an Apple “Best New” app and podcasting platform.
J.D. has served as Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) for leading media and tech organizations, including MTV, hp, and most recently, Warner Bros. Entertainment. Additionally, J.D. has served on the Board of KCRW, a renowned NPR station in Los Angeles known for its influential music programming.
J.D. has also advised Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Virgin Records, Universal Records, cultural institutions, fashion designers, retailers, and others on digital transformation.
Throughout this proposal and beyond, J.D. will launch innovative initiatives extending awareness of the Nouns meme and ecosystem. J.D. and UnitedTribes will introduce Nouns to new communities and facilitate new communities joining Nouns, activating vibrant Noun sub-DAOs. J.D. will introduce Nouns and facilitate proposals across his network of media organizations, artists, and creators.
UnitedTribes aims to become a fully equipped development studio and hub that creates breakthrough Nounish applications, ecosystem extensions, and synergies, starting with several core projects. Wherever possible, UnitedTribes will use existing Noun community resources, builders, and tools.
The Warped community includes millions of fans and thousands of participating artists, athletes, gamers, and cultural and philanthropic organizations. Warped has a long history of successful brand partnerships.
J.D. & UnitedTribes will bring the WarpedWorld project to the Nouns ecosystem. As one of the most ambitious web3 projects for an established brand, WarpedWorld promises to break new ground. Plans include WarpedDAO as an engine for ecosystem growth.
Warped Causes and Philanthropy: A Big part of Warped & A Big Part of "Nouns Get Warped"
Education has always been core to Warped Tour and will play a critical role in WarpedWorld Phase 1, teaching web3 and onboarding to the NounsDAO & WarpedWorld ecosystem.
J.D. & UnitedTribes’ other web3 Projects + Nouns
J.D. will introduce his other existing projects to the Nouns ecosystem as proposals, utilizing the Noun infrastructure to proliferate the Nouns meme and community while activating new audiences.
Example projects include collaborating with an acclaimed dance cinematographer and a top dance company to support pro and amateur dancers worldwide, as well as a concept celebrating music scholarship with top-tier artists. Both projects focus on generating Nounish benefits while fostering community.
Digging Deep into J.D.’s Network & EIR experience
As both an entrepreneur and EIR, J.D. will draw on his experience to bring additional projects and communities to the Nouns ecosystem. For example, inspired by the recent “Wizard’s Hat” short film and Wizard Nouns, J.D. has already introduced the concept of a potential Nouns collaboration with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Warner Bros., and the Potter fan community. At Warner Bros., J.D. worked extensively with Wizarding World.
Additional opportunities will involve working with existing IP holders, creative, tech, and performative talent, and the institutions across J.D.’s network.
J.D. will serve as a Nouns educator, evangelist, and facilitator in both his network and the traditional media, entertainment, and marketing industries. He will introduce talent, venture capitalists, builders, developers, creatives, and prospective strategic partners to the Nouns ecosystem and opportunities for Nounish endeavors. J.D. will collaborate with NounsOTG and other initiatives to make introductions and leverage resources. Over the last two months, J.D. has tested the waters to a tremendous response.
Lending a Strategic Hand Across the Nouniverse
J.D. will partner with established Nouns projects to generate synergies among UnitedTribes initiatives and assist Noun projects needing access to talent and organizations throughout his network.

It is not clear to me what the end deliverables of this proposal are - it seems like we'd be paying someone to leverage their network and experience to hopefully create events/activations/media down the line? I'm not comfortable paying someone six figures to do that, esp. someone who is new to Nouns contribution; I'm not inherently against the idea of open-ended residencies, but we're not ready for it at this scale. That's the role of a program like Explorer Grants.
agree with ccarella.eth on this one. we've paid for a lot of residencies that cater inward. this residency is purely an outward focus. an experiment worth doing. especially when it's someone with such a broad (and deep) and highly relevant network.

It's great for DAO to have high level builders with vast connections interested in Nouns. But I fail to see why we should effectively pay for a retainer? Ideas can be thought up and worked on without that being the case. Also it wouldn't be setting a good precedent. A better model would be for JD to come back with an awesome idea from one of his connections and include his compensation on that prop. It would be fair and justifiable.
Also I wasn't a big fan of how this proposal was laid out. It was difficult to follow and to understand what it was trying to get at. There is a lot of information on different projects, but no clarity on what Nouns would be involved in or how.
Nouns should invest in Proliferators in Residence like J.D., who can leverage their networks to foster innovation and bring valuable communities like Warped to ⌐◨-◨. This low-risk commitment ensures Nouns' influence extends to new communities and that we continue to place bets on good people.
ngl this looks like something where a celeb with contacts comes in and just says "pay me" to work on things. It feels dated and uninteresting versus proposals with new builders asking for much less.
I don't doubt JD's ability to execute or his extensive network, however this prop is vague and the order of operations are off. Thanks for spending the time to submit this, I look forward to a proposal with more actionable items in the future.
I think this prop has a lot of potential... but also a lot of fluff.
The proposer lacks Nounish reputation which, while not necessary at all to get a prop passed, is necessary in my eyes for such a large, open-ended allocation of capital.
I also don't understand why this prop needs to be so large. The ideas are vague, but they are plentiful, and each one (if fleshed out) could probably be a standalone successful prop on their own.
Ultimately, this is a no from me, and I encourage J.D. to return with a smaller, more detailed proposal to kick off his collaboration with Nouns.
I dont understand what this prop aims to do.
It motions vaguely towards nounish activities and collaborations, but doesn't say anything concrete or in-depth about how to do any of these things.
Are we funding someone to start thinking about nouns?
