Gm,

I’m Rob Crabtree and I’m excited to be joining the team here at WorkDAO. In addition to other things, I have a deep background in Employer of Record (EOR) services; building, scaling & advising some of the largest global EOR platforms for almost a decade. Of particular note, I was the first employee hired at Velocity Global, a leading Web2 EOR provider, and as an executive, helped the company to become number three on the Inc. 5,000 list of fastest-growing private companies while scaling to over 100 employees across a multitude of countries in less than 5 years.

I’m joining WorkDAO as Chief Operating Officer with the goal to create an unmatched global employment experience intended to delight Web3-native organizations and their contributors.

I view the work that WorkDAO is doing to be the next evolution (if not, revolution) in the global employment space. The whole concept of work is shifting and WorkDAO is leading that charge.

Why I joined WorkDAO

DAOs represent a monumental paradigm shift in how work, works! We’re moving away from the prescriptive to the personal. From the corporate to the community.

As the ecosystem of Web3 and DAOs exploded, I recognized the increasing need for an employment solution specific to the needs of this space. By crypto-natives, for crypto-natives. Employment in the DAO world is complex and still very much developing. DAOs are built on-chain, in a world designed for on-chain regulation and oversight. The challenge is bridging this gap between this old world and new, to ensure DAOs can operate in an efficient manner while still retaining their core essence. But, doing so in a way that ensures legal compliance and fairness for the DAO, its contributors, and governmental stakeholders around the world.

WorkDAO is that solution. We’re not just redefining a category, we’re defining a whole new industry. Very rarely in your career do you get to be part of something so impactful.

We deeply understand the needs of our customers. We focus on providing solutions to handle the hard, complex labor and tax responsibilities in jurisdictions where we operate. These solutions include:

• crypto-native Employer of Record services,
• token tax and payroll processing,
• HR business partnership services,
• indemnification of employment liability,
• and, intellectual property (IP) custodianship for DAOs.

Our mission is to create the best working experience for contributors and unlock legal, compliant employment solutions for a whole generation of DAOs.‍

I can’t reiterate enough how excited I am to be a part of this team. We are striving to change the world of work and bring it into the future that is Web3.
