Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1540

IBERLABS, previously known as the Business Development team for Spain and Andorra, has been working to expand Polkadot's presence in the region. They have built partnerships with institutions, enterprises, and public entities. Here are some of their recent achievements:

Xhype: A global ZeroData marketplace integrated with SubWallet and Polkadot AssetHub.
Kunveno (Web3Spaces): A Web3 freelancing platform that recently released a PolkaTalent campaign for further development of their UX.
Catapulta: A no-code dApp builder supporting Moonbeam deployments.
Andorran Sandbox: An agreement in progress with the Government of Andorra to support Web3 startups and institutions within their regulated sandbox framework.
Institutional DOT Fund and Staking: In progress with MoraBanc, enabling regulated access to DOT and staking for institutions.

IBERLABS has also engaged with various partners to help integrate Polkadot into real business in these regions.

Structured well and organized; also builds on past BD activities. Moving forward, I would recommend a focus on Polkadot Hub.

The first bounty's funds were transferred to a single account 19 days after the bounty was funded, and these funds were transferred to 3 different accounts on the same day. This means that the bounty funds were utilized outside the bounty mechanics, without any involvement of the curators. I'll look further into this, I'm switching to nay in the mean time.

Initially leaning against due to lack of clarity, but after reviewing the proposer’s responses to Polkaworld’s concerns, I’m opting to abstain for now. As I’m unfamiliar with this team, I can’t fully assess if this is a wise use of treasury funds.

Seems like the team have delivered BD proposals to OpenGov, but feel they are missing the Target market, the kinds of businesses that I have seen coming are not far reaching.

In our previous meeting with them a few months ago my impression was that the outcome of the BD efforts in the region wasn't exactly justifying the cost. Some of my thoughts are in the discussion section below.
