“at freeverse, when we founded the company three years ago, what we were really interested in is how we could generate NFTs that would actually have value based on how they are used. So how the user can actually interact with those NFTs and affect their value and therefore drive up the price and so that they can buy and sell for something that's not just speculation.”
“We raised 500,000. So we're in Europe. And so typically the initial angel rounds in Europe are much more than perhaps you're accustomed to in The States. So we raised 500,000 from angel investors, and we raised just under 1,000,000 earlier on this year. Now in this round, we're going for slightly something bigger.”
“I think it's really important to separate in the NFT space that firsthand trade versus secondhand trades. From our perspective as freeverse, we charge a commission on every trade on the marketplace, whether it's the whether it's an an a new drop, a new mint of an NFT, or whether it's a trade in the secondhand marketplace.”
