Permanence DAO's feedback on the discussion post:

Dear Matjaz,

Thank you for joining the Permanence DAO call and sharing with us the details of your proposal.

After a review and discussion of the proposal in light of the information shared over the call, we suggest the following:

• Limit the budget to $250K over a 3-month period.
• Deliver a target number of running applications in different verticals built on Apillon services, built by Apillon's current builder base.
• Onboard a target number of end-users to those applications.
• Develop a marketing/business strategy in contact with the marketing and business development teams in Polkadot to turn the end-users into paying costumers.

While we understand the aspiration of working with enterprises, we think that the Salesforce integration should be included in a future proposal. In our opinion, it's beneficial to view Apillon as a middleware that can make it easier for developers to build on the Polkadot Cloud/Hub. We believe that this approach should be the main focus for Apillon going forward.

Best regards,

Permanence DAO
