Qualifications / Experience:
I’m a big fan of partnerships because I think that they create exponential outcomes for brands and communities. I have invested in CPG companies like Partake Foods, Athletic Greens, Golden Ratio, and Liquid Death and have found various ways to help my portfolio companies do event collaborations, brand partnerships, and even secure opportunities as big as an appearance on the Ellen Show As a co-founder of [email protected] — the first tokengated community for Black founders, funders, creators, and community builders — I have helped secure partnerships with web3 brands as big as Lore (formerly Prysm) and Ledger, communities like CPG, Hugs, and Aku, as well as organizations like A16Z’s Cultural Leadership Fund. In my day job, I’m the Founder & CEO of Bandwagon, an experiential technology company that helps fans and consumers connect with their favorite brands, entertainers, athletes, and teams. I have secured partnerships with players in the NFL, MLS, and NCAA and brands as big as PepsiCo and LIFEWTR. We negotiated nearly $500k in revenue from those deals, and that experience is transferable to this opportunity.
Why are you running for the Community Council?
I was fortunate to be gifted a Doodle on mint day from a friend, and as the floor price rose, I sold (around 3 ETH). I felt awful being an outsider in the community, so I bought back in, secured my forever Dood (#5926), and sought ways to support the community. I believe my relationships will benefit our holders and continue growing the Doodle brand. I want to support the Head of Business Development and the Head of Product Management as we think through ways to benefit the community that got Doodles to this point and create an inviting experience that others will want to join. I believe in the assets we have as a community and the value of those assets that we can use to create the relationships we desire.
