Description

Why should we receive funding? Our core team started NFT.NYC in early 2019 (long before the market buzz). Since then, NFT.NYC has become one of the most recognizable brands in the industry (16,000 attendees last year). We were the FIRST NFT conference. Irrespective of market conditions, NFT.NYC consistently brings together inspirational BUILDERS. We are COMMITTED to NFT technology and have consistently INTEGRATED NFTs into the event experience. Our Times Square billboards and Hudson Yards LOCATION are best in class and unique. Our values have not changed since inception: Give The Community A Voice: Put as many quality speakers on stage as possible to provide a forum for the NFT community to give voice to the most relevant ideas of the moment Connection: Bring people together who are working on like projects Proselytize: Educate the global community about the value of NFTs Engage: Use NFTs to create engagement that delivers our first 3 values Our team has successfully executed six major events in the industry since 2019. What problems are we looking to solve? What are the benefits to the Decentraland community? NFT.NYC was founded with a mission to bring NFTs to the masses - and the Decentraland metaverse is a core component of the vision. NFT.NYC provides a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the leading brands, developers and creators in the industry. Across the event, social media posts and our CRM (50k+ members), we aim to generate high quality leads to Decentraland - including new developers, brands and end-users. Last event, there was 250,000 tweets about NFT.NYC over 7 days, and one of our partners noted that NFT.NYC was their “best marketing of the year”. Coinbase labeled NFT.NYC “the superbowl of NFTs”, and Attendees have noted: “Really loved my first NFT NYC experience, the energy was electric and contagious! The speakers were so knowledgeable and passionate! Can't wait for next year!” “NFT.NYC is a resource like no other.” NFT.NYC provides an opportunity to connect with the NFT community and leading brands.
