Once a year, we select a small group of Daggernauts to represent Dagger in other communities, build bridges between the Dagger team and all Daggernauts, and lead by example in our own community.
In “Star Trek,” the title of Commander is given to highly skilled officers who not only excel in their duties but also lead by example, guiding their crew and making critical decisions that shape the future of their missions. They are trusted leaders and advisors and strong advocates for the values of the Federation. We think this captures the spirit of this program perfectly. Dagger Commanders are not only be Dagger experts: they lead, support and inspire others. They will play a pivotal role in advancing our shared goals. Just like in Star Trek, they are the backbone of our mission, and with their help we will explore many new frontiers together.
Commanders are recognized as Dagger experts and pioneers in the tech community with a special role on Discord, and gain access to exclusive events
Commanders get our iconic Commander jackets, and get the custom patch for each Commander batch year
Dagger supports Commanders who speak at external events, covering eligible expenses and providing other logistical support where appropriate
Commanders are integrated into the release process with the ability to provide early feedback before releases are out, and join periodic calls with the Dagger team to discuss roadmaps and provide feedback
Commanders are selected for 12 month rotations, or “batches”.
