🧐 NOUNS FACTORY? www.nounsfactory.com

• Nouns Factory was created 1 year ago to celebrate the art from Dora
• We are now working with artists like Kimmy Deuk, Mike Good, as well as Base Paint and other communities
• We are a print-on-demand (POD) business We can leverage the appeal of nounish art to captivate customers who are drawn to quirky/kawaii aesthetics and collectibles
• The POD model allows us to experiment with different designs and products, enabling us to quickly identify which items are most popular with their customers
• Our goal is to convert offchain tech savvy customers into crypto curious people
• We plan to gently introduce NFT concepts through design and discounts/exclusive access, for instance This can create a supportive environment for learning about our onchain world
• Come for the art, stay for the community + tech
• We have been self funded from the start. We have worked for 1 year and we are now able to pay the costs of running the business and turn a small profit that we usually split with/or even donate to our partners. We are connecting, learning and experimenting
• We have been fortunate to have made a few friends along the way:

• We have been sponsored by the best ecommerce web3 app, PERCS - #1 onchain growth stack for creators:

• We have sponsored Taki/Nouns esports:

• We have reached out and connected to adjacent communities on Farcaster and launched collections like Base Paint, HIGHER and $DEGEN

• For Base Paint, we are running the 1-shirt-a-day challenge:

  

• ~200 days in, and it has been great:

• Our most recent launch for $DEGEN on @base’s onchain summer has been the most successful so far:

🚀 THE FUTURE

• Our vision and mission is to have human billboards wearing Nouns art all over the world Plus cars, laptops, phones, mugs and more
• We want to bring offchain folks to Nouns and to our cozy corner of the world
• And we want to do it through the power of Nouns’ art and artists
• We want to be a platform where artists can create, get paid for their work and then stumble into a stranger wearing their art
• And we will keep having fun, every day, forever
