## Intro

[VIDEO]
*Click to watch the video!*

For the past two years, Nouns has funded public goods, ranging from governance platforms to open-source brands. What if we could take this further by providing physical infrastructure for Nouns and communities that resonate with us? 

Nouns House will bring Nouns into everyday life, serving as a physical hub dedicated to promoting its values through culture, technology, events, and community projects. **It will be the way for people to interact with the Nouniverse via a sustainable business.**

[HEADER]

In order to bring Nouns House to life, we will completely rename and revamp an existing venue -  LoginEXP, a leading gaming hub and bar, located in one of the most visited locations in the world's fourth largest city - São Paulo, Brazil.

We are seeking funding to redesign the massive space into a **nounish, public good landmark**, upgrade it with a coworking area, audio and video recording studios, and a gaming arena, and to host a calendar full of events, including hackathons, conventions, and workshops,

## The Venue

Currently, LoginEXP is already a popular venue for gamers and creators in Brazil, bringing thousands visitors monthtly and hosting several key events with big partners throughout the year (Monster, Capcom, Riot Games, and many more).

Our plan is to **transform and expand the space to attract a wider audience, from web3 enthusiasts to builders and developers.** We will introduce several new areas tailored to foster creativity, collaboration, and community engagement.

**Community Area**

## Business Model

The current model thrives by offering a space for gamers and creators, hosting events, and Food & Beverage services. 

As we expand and turn into Nouns House, we'll add new revenue streams including memberships, more events, sponsorships, and venue rental. LoginEXP already has partnerships with top gaming and entertainment brands, and we aim to secure new partnerships with major web3 and tech brands.

**We are please to announce Ledger will be a day 1 local partner of Nouns House, hosting events and engaging with visitors.** (LOGO)

Below we describe our most impactful revenue streams:

**Brand Sponsorships:** 
As we're leveraging our position as a national hub for web3, gaming, and tech communities, global brands recognize the value of being part of our ecosystem and pay for custom activations and spaces within our venue. 

We will also keep current venue sponsorships deals with brands like Corsair, Heineken, Kaspersky and Ballantine's.

**B2B Events:**
The venue will host corporate events, product launches, and meetups. These events provide a substantial revenue stream through venue hire fees and associated services. Below are some of the brands who have hosted events at the venue already:

**Venue Memberships:**
In line with Nouns ethos, our co-working area will be a public good space for anyone to access and make use of the facilities. 

In order to have a sustainable business we will also offer a subscription package for our most frequent users. The monthly subscription will give full time access to the venue during all weekdays, private meeting rooms and faster wi-fi. The package will also include other perks such as networking events, workshops and airdrops.

At the entrance visitors will have the option to create a smart wallet and use it for their activities within the venue. This service will also enable them to receive airdrops and participate in exclusive mints, generating revenue from partnerships and sponsorships.

**Food & Beverage:**

## Business Plan

**PlayDNA are partnering with Login Experience and commiting $882,000 USD in cash flow for the first 18 months of Nouns House operations covering over 50% of the projected operation's costs.**

On top of that **Login are commiting their property** at the heart of São paulo to be transformed into Nouns House, valued at approximately $600,000 USD, which also **saves the project an estimated $10,000 USD/month** of rent were we to rent a similarly sized space.

## Budget

**Existing Commitments:**

- $882,000 USD in cash contributions from LoginEXP and PlayDNA.

![COMMITS](https://i.imgur.com/WUzm51K.png)
- $180,000 USD equivalent, representing the implied rent of a space of this size and location, for a 18-month period. A massive cost-saving compared to starting a new space. (Purely for comparison, Login owns the venue)

**Request from Nouns:**

We are requesting $750K from Nouns to complete the funding necessary for this project.

This will be a one time investment, we are bulding a business that will be self sustainable within 18 months and won't need funding afterwards.
