- INVESTMENT & NFT Production Studio

Metapurse is a crypto-exclusive fund that specializes in identifying early-stage projects across blockchain infrastructure, finance, art, unique collectibles, and virtual estate.

### What is the relationship between Metapurse and Whale Street ?

## Questions

* How it began? **3 pillars of MetaPurse**

- 1.)Experiment in NFT's (acquiring *culturally significant* NFT's)
- Local and community levels over the world.
- EX: B20 Project
- Decolonize culture [(Decoloniality)](https://www.wm.edu/sites/dhp/decoloniality/index.php#:~:text=Decoloniality%20refers%20to%20the%20logic,of%20colonization%20and%20settler%2Dcolonialism.&text=Decolonial%20approaches%2C%20methods%2C%20and%20movements,%22naturalness%22%20of%20racial%20capitalism.)

- 2.)Investing in NFT that traditional investors would'nt touch with a 10ft pole.
- Showcasing art, music, & ideas.
- 3.)NFT based productions. Playing with how we expirience NFTs. What can be infused with NFTs?

* Where is MetaPurse currently in its journey/ stage of growth?

- An engine of consciencious commercialization.
- Currently in a stage of consolidation (standalone projects), about to jump of the cliff. "crossing the chasm"
- Organizational structure and interproject operations is a major point of current growth
- Phase of consolidation and continuous rediscovery
- There is an internal connection being made between all of these projects so they feed eachother. ?Dynamic Circular Economics? Hacking the "enterprise platform" model, but for prioritized impact not profit.

- Dreamverse:
- Platform: Publication that also doubles as a platform for art. Consolodates all of the context of the NFT. Can be featured on Dreamverse
- Souk:?
- Wanted to build something as a physical manifestation of a treasury. Grew into a concept of a cultural archive (focused on MetaPurse umbrella) on the metaverse .
- Grow the medium. Innovate the medium for new art.
- ! to launch on WilderWorld
- ?Will there be a launch event (launching in a month) TBD in one week
- Launch has not been designed
- WhaleStreet:
-
* With a larger plan of growth, how does MetaPurse plan to manage some of these various projects?

- Sheer force of will
- Currently still being developed and discovered.
- Brook is the spine of MetaPurse 🤘🏽
- Only 3 people right now managing the flow and interconnections
- Most of the projects/ platforms can be managed by the "nervous center" ( a larger internal team to prevent silo)

* Is ~~MetaPurse a fund?~~ An incubator? An accelerator?

- Hybrid incubator & accelerator
- No need for conventional funding #MetaMovez
- Potenatial evolution to becoming a fund. (MetaKovan currently sole investor)
- Currently funding it's own project and (previously) "aquiring cultural NFTs"

* How does MetaPurse's organizational structure relate to other projects like WhaleStreet?
* ?Subsidiary of MetaPurse
* WhaleStreet is driving the engine of the music comercialization.

-
* (skip for now) What are MetaPurse's stances on transparency?

- Should it's growth be televised? (project roadmap and meetings be open to the public)

* What are some of the biggest challenges MetaPurse faces in the next 18 months?

- Getting organized around resources we need
- Making sure everyone is aligned around the various projects (working towards a common goal)
- Aligning on a "Northern Star" is a **need** for scalable success.

- Biggest threat via DreamVerse.
- IRL events might not be enough.
- Aligning artists around physical events and the spirit of decoloniality.

- Making sure everyone understands what we're doing
- The public
- The Users
- The internal team
- much more than that - Burning Man vs an EDM show.

- Being relevant, staying relevant in a rapidly changing environment.
- Achieve Communication by Design ( actions > words)
- Prevent "when moon"
- Encourage the "lunar cycle"
- Perception of B20 is an obstacle.
- Missed opportunity
- Why didn't B20 become the first BAYC ?

## Project Exit

## Key Stakeholders

-

## Constraints/Assumptions/Risks/Dependencies
* Mystic Whales- All of our work is reliable on communication with the different Pods and
* We need to be a bit more in sync ( more meetings, more access)
* Joining the stand ups
* The meetings with all teams are very helpful
* Weekly/ bi weekly hands
* !! Review "All hands" format with agenda
* How can we optimize our Discord for all the Pods
* template, internal guides. etc.

## Deliverables

* ORG Wide Discord, curated for easy attention and information asymmetry.

* Team wide stand-ups, weekly or bi-weekly.

#### For *Platform*
* Using a [tool like ROSE](http://ramakarl.com/rose/) would be really interesting to start tracking, measuring and visualizing the social networks that can help build better and deeper contextual models.
