Raised $500k via NFT collection. Interested in knowing the process, struggles, and what I learned?
I am not a regular crypto guy, but I found out about NFT back in 2017 when the first NFT project was created, Crypto Punks and Crypto Kitties.
However, since I am not a fan of VC, and other similar investments, I was always interested in crowdfunding campaigns, KickStarter, IndieGoGo.
In late 2021, while I was bootstrapping Automatio.co and while burning out with a work, and waiting for my first child to be born, I decided to dive in and relax a bit in the world of NFT.
At one moment, I realized, why not use NFT as a tool and build something useful for the ecosystem while raising money from the people who wanna invest in your project?
I ended up raising ~$500,000 from a bunch of people. If you wanna learn how I did it, through what struggle and pain I went through, and what I learned along the way, then let me know in the comments.
I can tell, that was a hell of journey. Tough and rewarding. A lot of upside downs.
I think people deserve to hear our story.
Your wify
I did some UXR for a web3 startup that's unfortunately reached the end of their runway. They were using a really cool system of NFT's to track contributions to DAOs as a means of creating a confirmed DAO resume. So you could take your contributions from one to another.
Btw, on what chain was the project launched?
Gnosis
Unfortunately, many projects faced the same destiny. Events like the Luna crash and the FTX scam made projects and people lose a lot of money.
We didn't avoid that as well; we lost a lot of funds because of the FTX scandal. Luckily, we had another project that was funding the team and kept us alive.
let's hear it!
Yes
YES PLEASE!
