BuildBetter - interviews with tech founders

Today I'm talking about The Clinic:

The Clinic is investing is an interesting project with, I'd say, all-star female team. Interesting because of its large ambitions and because it decided by a community vote to give-away for free the rest of their NFTs collection after pre-sales mint. If you are interested to join ambitious project at its start, then you are right on time, because part of 10.000 Iconic NFTs created from 330 hand-illustrated characteristics, backgrounds, accessories and hairstyles will be distributed in coming days to the community with reveal on May 9th.

The fully doxxed team is led by Camille Dargan; an entrepreneur and former marketing executive from Google, Meta and Uber. There's a team of six mission driven females with a proven busienss track record and includes highly skilled artist, tech magician, biz dev and partnerships guru. 

The Clinic is driven by a desire to improve equality and diversity in tech space as well as to provide access to easily accessible mental wellness space. Post mint they also plan to launch a VC incubator which will invest in startup founders from diverse backgrounds who are building in the Web3, Technology, Healthcare, Education, and EJI spaces. There's also a plan to establish a career mentorship program for high school graduates to launch their careers in corporate America, web2 or web3. 

In the long term, The Clinic wants to develop mental health clinics around the world with hopes of bringing psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to the masses in an affordable way. Additionally, they hope to develop technology to dramatically improve mental health and self-esteem by leveraging brain-transcription technology that will stimulate a consistent positive feedback loop...

It does not sound like your typical PFP project, right! It just sounds ambitious and that's great!

She Leads is one of these projects which grabs your eyes when you see the art. Then you read that project is about women empowerment and it's ok, but there are many projects like this and I talked on Daily NFTs Minute about many of them, so that's not really unique. What I find unique is that She Leads is creating the first web3 magazine focused on equality, diversity and the empowerment of females and minorities in the space. 

I like the idea of a web3 magazine. The first edition focuses on translating real world activism into web3 - cool topic, made me curious! And also my fav project @NotYourBroNFT will be featured in their first magazine. The utility of the NFT is, of course, community and a subscription to this magazine; and you should expect it to be filled with up-to-date news, educational tools, artwork, interviews, and the stories of those navigating our new web3 world.

Project has a star female team, led by women rights activist Goli who had to flee Iran to UK because of her women rights activist work. 

Mint date and price still TBA, which is good because community is still small. Discord is alive and I have no doubts about the team's decication, so it's only matter of time before larger community will form around this project.

Today I'm talking about CrushCancer NFTs 

It's a female-led project with a doxxed team that focuses on supporting efforts to eradicate cancer and make the life of cancer patients more enjoyable, e.g. through donating HOPE kits to all organizations on their Index. The Index is a list of eight well-known cancer-focused foundations that they plan to support with equal donations.  

The collection is showing strong 3D beauties that have endured chemotherapy. In the first wave, they are minting one thousand 3D characters and overall it should be a collection of 5.000 NFTs. What will you get as an NFT holder - roadmap includes things like airdrops, IRL events (they're already planning Mansion Party in Miami for Sept), metaverse concerts or outfits, IRL cancer walks, free merch matching your 3D character accessories. Later on, possibly DAO, staking, etc.

The mint is live now since April 30th for 0.05 ETH each. Minting started slowly because it kicked off against Yuga's Otherside mint and following gas war. The community is small but dedicated and I hope they'll have a chance to attract more attention soon.

Today I talk about Fleeboys NFTs

It's one of these projects where team is visible everywhere on Spaces (at least recently) but the launch and mint are super slow which can be discouraging. I like the mission of the project and I'm happy to shine a little bit of light on them. Hopefully it can help a bit.

Fleeboys NFTs are a 10k collection inspired by fashion, style, culture and community of NYC - Brooklyn specifically. This project is made and inspired by mother and son team's story, where Trey, age 22, has beat the odds of growing up in Brooklyn. They want to encourage young people to get involved in positive activities such as arts and technology, instead of drugs, bullying and mindless games. 

They are also partnering with You Gotta Believe, an organization that helps teenagers in foster care find permanent families in NYC. Obviously NYC, like any large metropolitan area, is not an easy place to grow up and I like projects focusing on real-life issues in their vincity because it makes the roadmap and plans very real and relatable as well as belieavable. 

Fleeboys are fully doxxed crew, they are minting now for 0.04 ETH and I suggest you check their art, cause and plans, and maybe help them move things forward.

Check Feelboys here:

• Web: https://www.fleeboys.com/
• FleeboyMom: https://twitter.com/fleeboymom
• OpenSea collection: https://opensea.io/collection/fleeboys-official

I also wanna do a quick shout-out to Pastel Persons who are going to launch their Pastel List mint today April 29th. In case you were waiting for pastels, here they come :)

And that's it for today.

Cheers till tomorrow!

Today I'm gonna talk about one of the projects I'm watching (and part of) for a long time. It's NeonPantheon with their upcoming Ascendend collection which shall be coming any day - but team is still teasing!NeonPantheon is a project with fully doxxed team which is bringing experiential augmented reality, real interactive minting experience and which promotes cultural diversity and inclusion. Mouthfull, I know, but I'll explain.The main idea behind the project is an experiential Augmented Reality. Where your deities (NFTs) exist in a realm only accessible by Neonites, worshippers of the deities. The purpose is to guide humanity towards mutual respect among races, cultures, and financial classes. Let's celebrate humanity and all its differences. That's why all deities are genderless and have traits from mix of different cultures.Neonites are humans = me, you, owners of deity NFTs. You are the one responsible for writing a story of your deity and spreading the word. Deities are unique and have traits that are inspired by different cultures and they are all genderless.Genesis deities tend to take on timeless ethereal forms and are identified by their open eyes, a symbol of enlightenment. There are only 888 of them. There will be 8000 Ascended Deities - identified by their closed eyes, as a symbol that they have yet to find enlightenment.On the roadmap after Ascension launch are things like Shrine builder (already working), AR app allowing you to place your shrine anywhere in the world, own token called $FAITH which will be free to claim for Genesis holders (come and get one) which will allow for number of cool things like claim of incense box rewards with surprises (like WL spots, shrine customisations, etc.) or ability to ascend the soul of an NFT from another project (e.g. @BAYC into Bored Ape Deity) - which should be cool!I know from Spaces where NeonPantheon guys have talked that they're constantly building and thinking about more cool stuff so I'm confident there's more cool things coming ...Check out NeonPantheon here: Web: https://neonpantheon.com My shrine made for Genesis #755 called Keppa: https://neonpantheon.com/enshrine/755Cheers till tomorrow!BFG

Today is a little celebration of 50 episodes. More than I ever imagined but it's fun so let's go on. Because it is a small anniversary edition I've decided to browse through past fifty episodes and choose 5 projects to highlight because they are still around and doing cool things.

Rug Radio

• Farokh and the team are building decentralized Web3 media ecosystem. Love their rugs NFTs in genesis collection as well as their DAO and Learn to Earn concepts. Check them out here: https://linktr.ee/rugradio

Calladita Movie

• Miguel Faus is aiming to create the first movie funded by NFTs. It's based on his short movie with many accolades. Collection is still minting with 4 tiers of NFTs and if you ever dreamt about becoming a movie producer, this is your chance! Check it out here: https://calladita.film

GenomesDAO

• This is the team of scientists building a biotech DAO focused on safe, private & auditable monetization of genomic data using DeFi. They are giving you a chance to have your DNA sequenced and then the data stored in the private vault which only you can access. And through different DAOs which will work with pharma and biotech companies they will give you chance to provide/share your data for further research and be rewarded for it. Definitely cool, check them out here: https://linktr.ee/GenomesDAO

Robotos

• for me this project is a template how PFP projects should be done with regards to - art, upgrades (e.g. love their Workshop), pets, etc. - to keep the community engaged and entertained. Check them out here: https://linktr.ee/robotos

Avril15

• and this project is a template how artists and small teams should do it. At Avril15 it's a team of two who managed to create an organic and super engaged community within a couple of months. Art is the utility and it was transparently communicated since the beginning. First season is sold out and everyone is loving it and we all just look forward to season two. Check out all about Avril15 here: https://linktr.ee/hattimann

That is all for today's review episode #50! Hope you have

Today is a short Easter episode where I talk about Miss O Cool Girls NFTs (MissO for short): 

MissO is aiming to support girls and what it means to be a female of the future because there is no one definition of what it means to be a girl. From the creators of "Miss O and Friends" which is supposed to be the #1 tween girls social network and brand established since 2005. The MissO is a series of 10,000 NFTs inspired by drawings of Juliette (one of co-founders) when she was 10 and illustrated by her mom, Hermine (second co-founder). So it's mom - daughter duo entering NFTs space.

On the roadmap there are things you'd expect like - web3 edu, events, podcast, 3D airdrop to 2D holders (nice) and there’s a merch shop in collab with 12 year old blockchain designer Ariella Maizner and that is also cool idea!

The MissO project is minting slowly since March 30 for friendly price of 0.04 ETH. I believe there are less than 500 minted so far and while I like the effort and mission, it seems that the team doesn’t really know how to walk the NFT space and they hoped for their current IRL community to jump into NFTs and it probably haven’t happen (just yet).

Anyway, check MissO here:

• NFT project web: https://www.missocoolgirls.xyz
• Opensea collection: https://opensea.io/collection/miss-o-cool-girls
• MissO merch: https://theme-nyc.com/collections/nft-miss-o-cool-girl-collection/NFT
• Original Miss O and Friends website: https://missoandfriends.com 

That's it for today. I wish you all Happy Easter! 

Cheers till Monday!

Today I'm talking mainly about Pastel Persons:

I thought I talked about Pastel Persons but apparently I haven’t and it's a mistake I need to correct. PPs are women-led NFT project made up of 8,900 randomly generated pastel persons (male, female, kids, etc.) which I like - hopefully I find one like me :) It’s family-friendly NFT where the team decided to abolish the whitelist grind and everyone can join pastel-list.

Their mission is to onboard women, youth, and other under-represented demographics into Web3 and to provide educational resources for the community.

They are donating to Girls Who Code and have their own Pastel Mentorship program - you can join as mentor or mentee right now and help with hands-on effort to onboard women and families into the space. (I have to join that one to see how it works - really curious)

What’s also cool that they have already purchased two plots of land in the metaverse and are running a competition with an architectural college program in Denmark to utilize their 3D modeling and architectural skills to create two buildings -The Clubhouse and the Art Gallery.

Recently announced mint date is April 29 at the family-friendly price of 0.04 ETH.

Community is slowly growing but I keep seeing PPs team regularly on Spaces so it's a surprise that there are only around 4k Twitter followers. You are still early. If you want to join a project for the community and learning and support then join this one. Don't join for hype because that's not happening here.

Check Pastel Persons here:

• Web: https://www.pastelpersons.com
• Twitter: https://twitter.com/PastelPersons

The shoutout for today goes to Flora Aurelie Malu

Flora Aurelie is 10 y/o girl who loves to create art and illustrations. She apparently likes flowers and animals. Collections are managed by her dad who’s photographer, so overall artistic family. I like pieces in Foxes and Originals in her Polygon based collections.

When you check her Twitter account you'll see that Kids in NFTs is a topic on the rise, which is great!

Today I'm talking about two female led NFT projects;

The first one is Fortuna NFT:

Fortuna is female led project on a mission to empower, educate and support women in web3. The project has Brasilian roots. Check founders Jess, Sarah and Daira and their artist Pxlpxi. Artists on the team have drawn professionally for the likes of Disney and Nike, and had their work featured in international magazines such as Vogue and Cosmo, so you are in good hands.

The roadmap is simple and clear - mint, create DAO, donation and create Angel Fund. It seems important to the team that the portion of sales will go toward building a shelter for abused women. Big part of DAO work shall be Angel Fund which will help proliferate female web3 presence. And I think there's already a first supported artist from Angel Fund - 23 years old Brasilian illustrator @illustramanda!

Fortuna NFT is a collection is 7,777 hand drawn Fortuna NFTs, slowly minting now for 0.077 ETH.

Check them out here:

• Web: https://www.fortuna-fund.com/
• Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/fortuna-nft
  

The second project is She Survives NFT:

Which brings to NFT space 10,000 survivor women finding beauty in themselves! Created by Ashley Duncan with help of Erin Gambrel and Sondos Gamal they plan to send 40% of proceeds after sellout go to @AmericanCancer and to support women affected by cancer. 

Great mission, small community. Project is slowly minting from end of March with price 0.05 ETH. Team is working hard to promote it, I've heard them on Spaces, but it's also visible they have other things going on and that might be why it has slower lift-off. 

As for the roadmap -> highlights are certainly American Cancer support nad Tesla giveaway! There shall be merchandise and IRL events planned to celebrate our SheSurvives family, charity auctions and more! Through Erin (aka @theblondebroker) the project is connected  to Unique Unicorns NFT.

Check it out here:

Today I'm talking about the NFT game with the planet-saving idea behind it and it is very cool.  

Aeternals are 10.000 impact-driven NFTs. Elements are inspired by the native flora of the Amazon mimicking the rainforest’s biodiversity. Each NFT has 3 stages of evolution coded into it - depending on how you engage with the game - BUDDING, BLOOMING, and ENLIGHTENED. Being in an Enlightened state has other extra benefits. If you loose interest your island will degrade back to budding stage.

From raised funds, 55% will go towards the protection of the Rainforests of Central and South America via Rainforest Partnership (well known non-profit) and towards purchases Carbon Credits (via ClimateTrade partnership) which shall make the project carbon neutral.

Owning one Aethernal will grant you access to an interactive game environment, a community of like-minded collectors. and not only that - you may win a small batch of ultra-rare NFTs which include things like the rights to name newly discovered species on the Amazon, and physical access to tours by indigenous communities of the Amazon (with more to come in the future).

What is different from other projects is the fact that the game will be ready at the launch of the project! So no wait and see if they really deliver. Digital art looks cool - Aeternals look like small bonsai islands which change in kind of tamagotchi style as you interact with them.

The launch will be via Nifty Gateway, which means you can use your credit-card directly to purchase Aethernal.

What is also very cool is that the whole project uses real-time environmental data from the real Amazon forest to feed our NFTs and game environment (rain, sunshine, daylight patterns…etc.). With the volume turned on, you should be able to listen to a 24-hour track of an actual rainforest of the regions being supported through Rainforest Partnership.

And just in case you did not know - World Rainforest Day is celebrated annually on June 22nd.

The mint date and mint price are still TBD, even though I've heard on Spaces it should be soon :)
