⚠️ Common Proposal Failures
Vague Objectives
"Build stuff" isn't specific. Define exact deliverables, timelines, and success metrics.
Unrealistic Budgets
Asking for $500K without justification or track record will fail. Start small, prove value, then request more.
Anonymous Teams
Large funding requests from anonymous proposers raise red flags. Build reputation first or doxx your team.
Ignoring Feedback
If the community raises concerns and you don't address them, your proposal will likely fail. Adapt and iterate.
