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 ?

## 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.

### notes From  Will

#### 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.
