Hi @ackza! Thanks for stopping by.
I personally haven’t raised any funds yet, since the purpose of this new organization is exactly this: to raise funds for projects on Steem.

It’s all explained in the article above, as well as the role of the InterSteem team and a possible link to the Steem DAO. Maybe you wanna read first, and then we can talk about it a bit more in detail.

The goal of InterSteem is to identify promising projects in the ecosystem, let the community decide if they’re worth being included in a fund raising mechanism and then sell those projects to potential investors on- and off-chain. It’s a model that hasn’t been proposed so far and that a Steem DAO would also not be able to cover. The Steem Business Alliance could become a great partner in terms of sales, as mentioned above, since they have a similar focus on approaching businesses and potential investors.

It’d be actually great to generate synergies with as many other teams on Steem as possible.

I hope you’re less confused now. Maybe it also helps to read what the @steemalliance is about in general. This proposal is part of a community project with specific steps and timelines.

The whole idea of creating a Steem Foundation has already a longer history now and many things have been discussed on- and off-chain. I kindly invite you to join the corresponding discord server and catch up there. I guess it’s the most complete and detailed source of information we currently have: https://discord.gg/uhan3Rf
