Season 7 Nominations: GrantNerd on the Grants Council

Jrocki Optimist Profile

Jrocki (Jesse) Eligibility Criteria for GrantNerds:

gm, very excited to be applying to become a GrantNerd this season… After leaving the Optimism Foundation earlier this year to begin participating in governance again, I was elected to serve on the Grants Council during Season 6 as a mission reviewer.

During my time on the Grants Council I put a special emphasis on community outreach (Twitter and Farcaster) and tested different strategies like putting our Mission Requests on BountyCaster for visibility.

During my time at the Optimism Foundation I was a contribution manager for the Ambassador program and hosted various events like Demo Day. I am no longer at the Foundation but I do try to keep Demo Day going as it gives projects building on the Superchain a chance to get in front of a larger audience.

*As you may notice there is a gap in my governance participation for seasons 3, 4, and 5 due to the fact that I was an employee at the Optimism Foundation and was therefore restricted from participating in governance during that time period.
