After grants are approved, public goods creators have opportunities to promote their grants at pitch sessions. These pitch sessions can be a great place to promote your work, learn about exciting projects, and network with other public goods creators!

One of our favorite parts of pitch sessions is how they can inspire cool shows! Similar to ideathons and other FractalJoy games, these pitch sessions provide natural opportunities for communities to collaboratively create media with the power of DAMS. For example, we’ve hosted two Pomelo Pitch Sessions at Eden Fractal meetings.

We held our first two Eden Fractal Pomelo Pitch Sessions with great success and heard amazing pitches to create public goods in week 41 and 42 of Eden Fractal. You can watch these sessions and explore show notes in the links below:

As Dan wrote in the Cagendas topic proposal, “This kind of pitch session can provide us with opportunities to quickly learn about each other’s work and support the amazing public goods creators in our community. This can also be a great way to promote Eden Fractal with the unique benefits of cagendas consensus games for collaboration, networking, and video creation.` There are many exciting possibilities that we can explore now and in future seasons of Pomelo…”
