Speaker: Aaron Wright of Open Law

Abstract: DAOs will disrupt venture capital powering a permissionless, global and accessible Silicon Valley.  The LAO can enable anyone in the world to engage in venture financing while taking care of well-incentivized governance systems for the limited decisions that still require the exercise of human discretion.

Much like how Coinbase helped bring the trading of traditional assets to millions by attempting to comply with various legal requirements, our new initiative “The LAO” will help to resurrect the initial vision of The DAO in a manner that comports with U.S. law.
This is the natural pathway and vision of Ethereum.  We saw in 2016, The DAO, which unfortunately experienced a hack and ran afoul to U.S. securities laws. The LAO is resurrecting that vision and breathing new life into DAOs, with The LAO, a limited liability autonomous organization.

This talk was recorded Saturday, February 15, 2020.
