The proposal aims to expand the operations of the BD team in Spain and Andorra (IBERLABS) to Latin America (LATAM).
The team has generated over 40 strategic leads in the past four months, which are being converted into active partners.
The plan includes forming alliances with startups, educational institutions, and governments in LATAM.
Key achievements include partnerships with institutions like Grant Thornton and participation in major events.
The team focuses on increasing Web3 talent and building a strong pipeline of leads.
The Business Development team will consist of two Business Developers and support staff.
The proposal is crucial for expanding Polkadot's presence and positioning it as a global leader in Web3 technology.

Unclear on the value for the cost. In general this is always an aye, but agreeing with Polkabiz on this one.

Having personally interacted with members of the team, I know they are highly motivated and capable as BD agents. I acknowledge there is concern over results, but on the flip side, there is an indefinite nature to BD activities, and at this point we should support our teams with extra runway while improving overall operation as an ecosystem, which W3F is just beginning to do.

Haven't seen any real meaningful results. Not a stable request. Using a lot of BD cliches but no specifics. LATAM with 3 official Spanish standards, not sure why a team from Spain has any edge.

Spain & latam have no cultural links (the only comonality is their language), their approaches and mentalities are totally different, wondering if they have been in contact with the LATAM teams or the Brazilian team...
