Summary

Secure funding to promote and shop around the joint Kleros, RaidGuild proposal on Prediction Markets for Incubators over 2-3 months, including collaboration with Kleros and building on prior work invested in drafting the proposal.

Why should we build this?

This initiative positions RaidGuild as a key partner with Kleros, an entity we’re already relying on and working with as an arbitration provider for SmartInvoice. When asked for feedback @scottrepreneur said that distribution is what’s becoming scarce. For this reason, I changed the focus of the mentorship from builder to product and go-to-market oriented.

Partnership Structure
In this partnership the RaidGuild, the mentors, and the program manager get to retain all the profits and Kleros would even provide the liquidity if projects are uncomfortable doing so.

Risks
In short, the risk of exploring this is USD 3,500 requested for BD and outreach, with a significant upside of 17-63k in revenue coming to RaidGuild and RaidGuild’s affiliates per project closed.

Measurable Outcomes

Measurable outcomes include securing at least 2 incubator partnerships, tracking outreach to 5-7 incubators, and aiming to achieve 1 pilot cohort launch within 3 months. If successful, ROI for RaidGuild could exceed 5x through shared service revenues and enhanced reputation, factoring in my prior 20+ hours invested in proposal development.

• 5–7 incubators/accelerators formally approached with proposal.
• 2–3 detailed scoping calls secured.
• At least 1 paid pilot agreement pursued with clear revenue potential for RaidGuild.

ROI for RaidGuild

• Increased visibility as co-author and delivery partner in a pioneering incubator funding model.
• Access to future service contracts and mentorship placements for Guild members.
• Direct revenue upside if pilots convert (estimated cohort fees starting at ~$46k, of which RG secures a significant share).

Prediction markets are one of the hot narratives at the moment that could intersect nicely with the AI market paradigm playing out at the moment. We will offer a new mechanism for improving funding decisions, reducing bias, and aligning mentor incentives. By backing this RIP, RaidGuild positions itself at the forefront of an innovative on existing mentorship-as-a-service ideas and strengthens our partnership with Kleros.

Anything else you'd like to add?

This builds directly on work already done here. There may be some need for frontend customisations down the road, if we do secure a client.

Raid Party Skills Needed

• Monk & Hunter
• Maybe Archer/ Warrior down the road

Cost

US$3,500

EDIT:

I’ve updated the wording above to make it clearer that @scottrepreneur only provided feedback on the proposal and did not otherwise approve or endorse it. If any earlier version gave the impression of his approval or endorsement, that was not the intention.
