# ETHBerlin: Aragon challenge for Best Aragon Nest proposal
[Aragon](https://aragon.org) is the most powerful and modular way to create and operate Decentralized Autonomous Organizations.
[**Aragon Nest**](https://github.com/aragon/nest) is a grants program to support the development of the ecosystem.
For the Nest program, the goal has always been to find **great people to work on common goods** that will produce quality results that benefit either of these two ecosystems as a whole. We are dependant on the prosperity of Ethereum, and others rely on Aragon to provide them tools for success.
There's a large stack of developers out there **who just want to create great things** without worrying about where they can get food on their table while working on such a common good. Not every project **needs** an ICO, not every team **needs** a business model, and not every piece of software **needs** a team or an employer.
A project can be funded without having to go through all the time, effort and stress that creating a token sale entails. A team might just want to build a single piece of software that isn't seeking to make a profit, just to get it out there. Someone might want to passionately contribute to the community and [#buidl](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23buidl) something by themselves and still make a living while creating that piece of software.
The Nest program was created to meet circumstances like these and provide funding to **those who wish to step up** and construct such relevant software. Therefore, **we are not interested in funding startups or monetizable solutions**. In order to achieve the best possible results on selecting which projects and ideas to fund, the whole process is made **transparent** through the [Nest Github repository](https://github.com/aragon/nest) and the only requirement is to be **open-source**. This also allows all the community members in the ecosystems to take part and comment on what [proposals](https://github.com/aragon/nest/issues) and [requests for funding](https://github.com/aragon/nest/pulls) they see as valuable.
The difference between the **proposal stage** and the **request for funding stage** is that in the proposal stage we will focus on determing if the **idea is worth pursuing** and should be considered for a grant. In the request for funding stage we focus on determining if **the team will be able to deliver and the feasibility of the timeline/roadmap, milestones and deliverables**.
