## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
This proposal aims to sell $6M worth of META tokens to DBA and Variant at a price of $4.0795 per token, increasing the market cap to approximately $85M, and to expand MetaDAO's team for improved operational efficiency.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
DBA and Variant will receive META tokens, potentially strengthening their partnership with MetaDAO while increasing the DAO's cash reserves.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The influx of $6M will provide MetaDAO with additional runway and resources to hire new team members, enhancing productivity and project execution.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
If DBA or Variant fail to fulfill their financial commitments, it may jeopardize the planned token distribution and MetaDAO's financial strategy.
## Content
If passed, this proposal would sell $6m of META to [DBA](https://dba.xyz/) and [Variant](https://variant.fund/) at $4.0795 per META, equivalent to a \~$85MM market cap.
## Motivation
MetaDAO currently has [\~$1.8m in cash](https://v1.metadao.fi/transparency), which equates to \~24 months of runway.
We have a pretty small team right now \- its me and Kollan, our founding engineer, a part-time designer, and a twitter intern.
We like keeping our team lean \- many times, bigger teams actually go slower than small teams \- but we think we could go faster if we expanded (hired full-time designer \+ another 1-2 engineer(s)) and itd also be nice to have more runway.
## Logistics
If passed, this proposal would mint **1,470,768 META** to this [5/6 multisig](https://app.squads.so/squads/6mYWxA7Jrvxqbj2yrcueupuQAgT1WsFwyLTZB382rdFc/home) (6mYWxA7Jrvxqbj2yrcueupuQAgT1WsFwyLTZB382rdFc), containing Kollan and Proph3t from MetaDAO, Michael and [Jon Charbonneau](https://x.com/jon_charb) from DBA, and two addresses from [Jesse Walden](https://x.com/jessewldn) at Variant.
DBA and Variant agree to each send 3,000,000 USDC to that multisig, which would then send them each 735,384 META and then the USDC to [MetaDAOs treasury](https://app.squads.so/squads/BxgkvRwqzYFWuDbRjfTYfgTtb41NaFw1aQ3129F79eBT/home).
Tokens would be fully unlocked \- we dont believe in locking up non-team supply.
If for some reason one or both parties dont send their end, we would attempt to burn the relevant tokens.
