Social Tokens Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Social tokens represent individuals, in particular creators. Tokens capture the value a creator generates in the form of reputation. Some will buy the token to support the creator and belong to their community. A creator can build their own token network with governance, incentives, and more. Also called creator or community tokens, these tokens represent a new form of fandom. Tokens based on individuals may or may not outlive the individual. This has yet to be determined. Just as fame rises and falls so the value of the token will rise and fall with it. Social tokens are similar to social media in which individuals burnish their reputation through their postings. Creators pursue social tokens as a means to finance their activities. This applies to musicians, writers, and other creator types. If your fans could support specific projects then the creator can pursue more of them. The social token generates publicity for the creator as well. Consider a social token for mobilizing your community to support upcoming events and projects.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Bradley Miles is the Co-Founder & CEO of Roll (https://tryroll.com/).Backed by Techstars, Arthur Hayes, Balaji Srinivasan, & more, Roll is enabling a world where the future of social tokens belongs to you. In this episode we discuss Bradley's background in venture capital, what Roll is building toward (and soon launching!), and the incredible experience they're designing for users that will broaden adoption and usability for tokens across the space.Recorded Monday May 15th, 2023.SHOW NOTES:Book – #BreakIntoVC: How to Break Into Venture Capital and Think Like an Investor Whether You're a Student, Entrepreneur or Working Professional, by Bradley Miles

Two years ago, it was predicted that every creator would have a social token, which would enable fans to bet on that creator and invest in their success. That clearly hasn't panned out, and in their place, NFTs have become much more popular as a mechanism for creator monetization. We discuss why that is (psychological ownership!) with Matt Alston, the co-founder and CEO of Bonfire, a no-code website builder for web3 creators, brands, and communities. Bonfire enables creators to build web3-enabled spaces to host their community for drops, exclusive content, and token-gated events and experiences. Before Bonfire, Matt was a product manager at Uber focused on Rider Loyalty & Rewards, where he helped launch Uber's loyalty program Uber Rewards, which has since been merged with their subscription offering to create Uber One. We discuss the lessons learned from Uber's rewards program as it pertains to airdrops and using tokens as an incentive in web3.

My guest today is Simon Yi (https://twitter.com/da0uch ), founder of Myosin.xyz (https://twitter.com/Myosin_xyz ), a global network of marketers building marketing tools that accelerate the direct to community movement. Simon is what we would call an OG. He started as Head of Growth at Consensys Mesh in 2020 where helped grow staple brands like Chainlink and Filecoin. He is the most experienced growth marketer we've had on the show. While numbers are a massive part of Simon's expertise, he doesn't hesitate to do some deeper philosophical thinking about the unique value offered by blockchain. We Discuss...From the very start of the episode, we are talking numbers. Dunbar's number. What is a healthy percentage of retention and activity in Discord. Myosin aims to create a reputation system for Web3, offering a new model for creators, brands, and communities to engage with their audiences and stakeholders.Reputation scores in Myosin are designed to be a combination of on-chain and off-chain factors, rewarding positive behavior and encouraging collaboration within communities.Tokenized online communities, such as Friend with Benefits (“FWB”) and DAOs, demonstrate the potential of Web3 to change the way people interact, collaborate, and generate value together.The adoption and growth of Web3 technology will depend on its ability to address real-world problems, such as copyright and attribution for artists and creators.FWB's partnership with a liquor brand showcases how blockchain and smart contracts can automate revenue sharing, providing a new way for brands to partner to provide unique experiences for communities and automate the terms.Localized Web3 communities, similar to Facebook groups or neighborhood-based groups, present a significant opportunity for innovation and growth in the space.Simon, the founder of Myosin, envisions Web3 succeeding through the formation of "network states," which are interest-based communities that transcend geographic borders.In the next six to twelve months, Myosin aims to mint its first on-chain reputation score, potentially unlocking a new phase of growth for the platform.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Background03:24 The Idea Behind Myosin08:42 Web3's Impact on Creators13:51 Relevance of Reputation Scores19:03 Onboarding Artists and Creators25:26 Tokenizing Online Communities31:07 Web3's Adoption and Growth 37:03 Social Tokens and the Future of Communities 49:51 Brands Leveraging Blockchain Technologies 53:20 Opportunities in Localized Web3 Communities Thanks for listening!

Social tokens are digital tokens (on a blockchain, obv) that allow creators to monetize experiences and services. In this episode, Callum welcome Ellie Li to the podcast. Ellie is an exited founder who now serves as the VP of Product and Operations at Roll. Roll allows users to create, earn, redeem, send and trade social tokens across the internet -- whether in Web 2.0 or Web3. It seems the future looks bright for content creators... Social Links 1.

In this episode, host Joeri Billast speaks with Joe Pulizzi, an expert in the field of content marketing and the creator economy, about his background, how he got into content marketing, and how he's currently utilizing Web3 technology through social tokens and NFTs to monetize content and build a loyal audience.This episode was recorded through a StreamYard call on December 20, 2022.You find the show notes here:  https://webdrie.net/how-to-utilize-web3-technology-through-social-tokens-and-nfts-to-monetize-content-and-build-a-loyal-audience-with-joe-pulizzi/PS: Did you already hear about our my new CMO Stories NFT?

We're taking a brief winter break and will be back soon with new episodes of Building at the Edges. In the meantime, enjoy this episode from the archive. First Club episode! We talk with Aaron Wright, the co-founder of OpenLaw, the team behind the LAO, Flamingo DAO, Neptune DAO, and more. We talk about all things DAOs, and the value of having a sense-making organism. We talk about his excitement for the Metaverse being the next big play in crypto, and of course, we dive into Social Tokens.

Nouns DAOs are having a moment in the spotlight, with Jacob Horne —founder of Zora — as one of the more prominent evangelists. In this conversation, Jess and Jacob discuss a core question: Why are ERC721 tokens (NFTs) a more compelling form of ownership than ERC20s? They explore the connection between Nouns DAOs and hyperstructures, and a compelling take that forkability is additive to the ecosystem as a whole. Nouns DAOs enable localized nodes of functionality, thereby increasing optionality and infinite possibilities for proliferating a community meme. Communities exist, communities want to do things together, and they need a medium to do that — the Nouns model provides the tools to do exactly that.

Robert Graham discusses his thoughts on the future of social media, how social tokens will revolutionize the music and creative industry and where to find the best parties in Web3.

Internet native organizations — whether we call them DAOs, tokenized communities, metalabels, or other — are novel organizational containers allowing people to collaborate in previously impossible ways. Rueben Bramanathan is a General Partner at Ideo CoLab Ventures, and he believes in the power of tokens to enable more equitable means of organizational participation. How we incentivize, reward, and design for the specific interactions within these containers remains an exciting design space.

In our Season 3 kick-off episode, Jess sits down with Marty Bell, founder of Poolsuite, for an inside look into the Poolsuite universe. Poolsuite is one of those irresistible brands that's nearly impossible to explain. That's partially due to the precisely executed, multilayered experiences across Poolsuite's world, including auditory, visual, digital, and physical goods. Jess and Marty pull-apart the experiential details that define Poolsuite, and surface lessons from their most recent release, Grand Leisure. They explore the novel interactions of web3 brands and businesses, DAOs as incubators for community ideas, and the importance of technology optionality.

✨About Desmos ✨Desmos is a Cosmos SDK appchain whose application serves the social token market. It brings decentralized identity solutions to market where your Desmos address serves as your social handle that could be used across the Interchain ecosystem. Tune into this podcast to build your mental model about what's coming next in the decentralized web space and how various solutions are solving the problem for portable social graphs.

Jango is a developer at Juicebox, a protocol for community fundraising. Web3 coordination often exists at the intersection of large treasuries. Innovative means of capital allocation is one of the most promising crypto design spaces. Jess and Jango discuss automated funding mechanisms, the use case for frequent proposal and discourse periods, and how this could unlock more DAO experiments.

Julia Rosenberg is the co-founder and chief pod officer of Metropolis (formerly Orca). Metropolis is the trustware layer for scaling socialware: pods. Pods build on the embedded socialware within small groups of people, creating an automated container for coordination. Jess and Julia explore current governance experiments, both successes and challenges. Recent DAO shakeups demonstrate an over-indexing against centralization and corporate structure. As we move toward scalable trustware, there is one socialware that cannot be automated: leadership.

Pet3rpan is in an investor at 1kx, an early-stage crypto fund. DAOs have a strategy problem, conflating decentralization with structurelessness. In practice, Pet3rpan sees an opportunity to start with governance constraints and then build toward governance minimization. Decentralized coordination and community building are developable skills. And yet there is no replacement for the experience of running and failing experiments.    

David Phelps is the co-founder of JokeDAO, a governance platform for decentralized, bottom-up governance. In a recent essay collaboration on Not Boring, David takes a stand against consensus in DAO governance. He argues that forking — more specifically, contrarian opinions — presents a more interesting opportunity for governance innovation. Jess and David touch briefly on the value of community curation, the complications of off-chain + on-chain coordination, and the persistent challenge of the attention economy.

Joy and I discussed how her mindsets from her time as a musician inform her current work as a founder in web3, her philosophy on what a member-owned apparel community will look like, her approach to good growth, and the way they are iterating with their community as they bring their physical products to market and their digital tokens to community with their upcoming NFT launch. This episode has so many deep takeaways from a builder with tons of cross-industry experience who is now learning and building in real-time in web3.

In this episode, Nicole speaks with Deana and Natasha from the Boys Club founding team. Natasha and Deana shared a multifaceted look at the evolution of taking a DAO From 0 to 1, including the genesis of a leadership team, the work behind their first membership NFT launch, and lessons learned from putting their first proposal through governance. As Boys Club moves into its next stage of development, there is a lot to explore from how they are building their future business model.

“The next generation of internet protocols and platforms and applications will be owned and operated by their users.” Mason Nystrom is an investment partner at Variant Fund, and he – like Seed Club – firmly believes in this bright version of our collective future. In this episode, Jess and Mason explore emerging trends and challenges in web3, and what they mean for community token networks. Governance makes a cameo, as does the call for more DAO leadership and structure. They touch on the increasingly blurred lines between users, consumers, builders, and owners. Web3 unlocks new types of consumer interactions; creating containers for those novel interactions to emerge will accelerate onboarding the next billion people to crypto.

In this episode, Nicole speaks with Bas Grasmeyer and Jeremy Grinberg from the COLORS DAO founding team. Colors is a global community of creatives supporting each other across disciplines, building off Colors Studio, the global music talent showcase, and discovery community. Bas and Jeremy discussed the importance of building cadence, basic structure, and predictability in a community and how that allows people to build cultural legos, plus the process of evolving a DAO out of an existing organization and navigating the various organizational and token structures that best meet the needs of the community.

We've got a special episode of Club Pod with Seed Club Co-Creators Jess Sloss and Nicole d'Avis. Jess and Nicole recorded the episode late on a very hot summer Friday to bring us a comprehensive exploration of what we can expect for SC05. We hear about the thoughtful, significant changes to the Accelerator (shoutout to interval training), the updated selection process (double shoutout to the Accelerator Portal), and what makes a great project for the Accelerator. We cover why the Accelerator matters and the role of Seed Club as an unmatched sensemaking network of the leading web3 innovators. Applications for SC05 opened earlier this week, and the application period remains open through August 15.

The core value at Seed Club is our network, which traces its origin to its nascent days in crypto. Wong Joon Ian is one of Seed Club's earliest co-conspirators. He's a shining example of the “thoughtfully” in lets f*cking thoughtfully go – integrating historical insights from the physical world into the high-velocity design space of web3 community-building. Joon runs Amplified, a web3-native premier event and conference planning service, which amplifies the role of gatherings in cultivating great communities. We jam on token insights through the lens of loyalty points programs and local currencies, pulling apart the parallels and key distinctions. Our conversation ends with a jump down the web3 media rabbit hole.

In this episode, We spoke with Gabriel Tumlos from the Mochi founding team. Mochi is a team-based goal-setting game focused on collective accountability and growth. Gabriel shares how the idea for Mochi evolved through multiple crypto cycles and the different approaches to building community market fit he is currently exploring. Mochi is experimenting with in-game economies in novel ways and leaning into web3 native partnerships to understand and design with communities - whether for shared productivity or even to achieve lucid dreaming. Lots to learn from an experienced web3 builder!

Mark Beylin, co-founder of Myco, dives deep into what it means for communities to launch social tokens, how the life of a token and its associated history can impact its creators, and why tokens should be able to evolve over time.

The questions motivating Arkive are not distinct to the needs of a decentralized museum — they're universally resonate considerations for anyone building community-owned networks in web3. Tom McLeod is the co-founder of Arkive, the self-proclaimed “last museum” and simultaneous first-ever decentralized physical museum. Arkive's design space exists at the intersection of physical objects, digital community-building, and member governance. Tom walks us through decision-making experiments enabled by their in-house DAO tool Atrium, providing a justification for bespoke DAO tooling solutions. He shares the coordination tensions they're hoping to solve, guided by a strong belief in embedding community engagement ahead of financialization. We're left with a clear takeaway: the most exciting DAOs will become institutions.

In this episode, we sit down with Matt Medved, co-founder of NFT NOW. We talk about his experience building media brands in the legacy world, having worked at Billboard and Spin Magazine, and how that has informed what he is doing with NFT NOW stepping into the web3 space. We talk about how DAOs and communities can be effective media organizations. And how to build great founding teams and culture.

Today we have Seed Club's very own Ben Jacobs on the podcast. Ben was one of the earliest contributors at Seed Club. In this episode, we talk about his inception and involvement in SC. We talk about some big lessons that we've learned. Some contrarian points of view. This conversation feels like one that Ben and Jess would often have which is trying to create space to broadly make sense of the world that we're operating in.

Today we have Brian Flynn, CEO, and co-founder of Rabbit Hole. Brian is a dear friend who helped inspire the birth of Seed Club. In this episode, we dig into reputation, DAO tools, what we get right, and what we get wrong.

We also talk about building value in DAOs, the importance of it, the challenges of it, how far we've come, and how far we have to go.

I launched the $ADHD social token 18 months ago on Rally.IO and  I had little idea of how it would change the course of my business, professional speaker brand and community building as a content creator.  Over these last 18 months, I've pushed the limits of what was possible with social tokens, and over the last 7 months combining them with NFTs and let's just say that's where the magic started to happen.  In this episode I breakdown some of my mistakes, lessons learned and advice for any creator thinking about launching a social token or NFT collection and especially for those that are thinking about doing a combination of the two.  You can learn more about $ADHD coin at: https://rally.io/creator/ADHD/ As always: DO YOU OWN DAMN RESEARCH and we hope you enjoy coming on this Mint 365 journey as we buy an NFT every day for 365 days: https://www.nft365podcast.com/mint365 The 1st DAILY Podcast buying an NFT mint every day for a year!

On this episode of Rehash, we're talking about tokenized communities and the role tokens play in DAOs and web3 with Jihad Esmail, who leads community and partnerships at Syndicate and is a core contributor and Forefront. We begin the episode by following Jihad's journey into web3 and discussing how he got started at Forefront and Syndicate. Jihad then gives us an overview of social tokens and tokenized communities aka DAOs. Together, we brainstorm ways to prioritize diversity and avoid elitism within these kinds of communities. We dive into the nitty gritty of Jihad's essay “Defining Tokenized Communities” and break down the seven elements that he believes are essential for a successful DAO. You can read his article here: Defining Tokenized Communities. Finally, we discuss the kinds of communities that should be tokenized, and the kinds that should not. And we look to the future for what tokenized communities could look like in the next five years, how these communities could improve, and ways these communities could impact our everyday lives. To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.  You can follow our guest, Jihad, @jaesmail. ⌛ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro0:42 Jihad's background4:14 What are social tokens?6:54 How do web3 tokenized communities compare to traditional gated communities like a Yacht Club?12:30 What makes an organization a DAO?16:43 How do tokenized communities scale and evolve over time?19:55 Diversity within tokenized communities22:11 Thoughts on self managing organizations24:21 Meme driven tokenized communities26:36 Tokenized communities vs. traditional communities28:46 The future of tokenized communities30:28 Ways tokenized communities can improve32:09 How tokenized communities will impact our lives34:19 Follow Jihad! DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
