Hi friends!

We officially launched [project #1090](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1090) on October 1st, and as one of our initial phase 1 deliverables, we are currently assessing the state of Business Development & Sales activities across the Polkadot ecosystem. We’re gathering insights from stakeholders and key opinion leaders involved in Marketing, Sales, or BD, to identify focus areas, methods, pain points, needs, and requirements.

**If you are or have been involved in any of these areas, we’d greatly appreciate your feedback! 🙏**

Our project specifically focuses on B2B activities aimed at securing partnership deals with businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, to adopt Polkadot’s technology.

This is a rather comprehensive questionnaire, and while we encourage everyone to answer all questions, feel free to skip any non-mandatory ones.

Thank you for your participation and support. Your input will help us understand trends and identify areas for improvement to foster stronger partnerships and growth.

Natalie & Jashar

Looking forward to the results being posted here in the forum.

I would be interested in seeing what efforts are being made to bring smart contract based applications into the ecosystem, considering Polkadot’s short-term roadmap.
