NFT: Market-Product-Team Fit ๐ฝ
In this Q3 and Q4 the team needs a single focus and going deep, rather than spreading thin. Potentially Sahil and Eric will closely collaborate with us on NFT; Richard and Sammy have vertical-specific partnership experience; Brian and Jack can drive all internal initiatives toward NFT-related campaigns and products.
Our Q3/Q4 Thesis on NFT:
- Market: We know from extensive research (essential reading) that the NFT market has traction with billions in value and potential for mass consumer appeal with hundreds of millions of fans and users. โFinding product market fit = focusing on the market firstโ โ meaning, 15% monthly growth rate.
- Product: We have a product (platform) that offers fast andย affordable minting, trading, and mass distribution of NFTs to millions of users. โThe only thing that matters is getting to product/market fit.โ
- Team: Can we align our team efforts to build out a thriving ecosystem of NFT minting projects, social token launch platforms, trading marketplaces, collector DAOs, derivatives and avatars with high liquidity, volume, and users?

Guilds for Focus & Traction โ๏ธ
The only thing that matters in a Day ONE startup is getting to product/market fit.
As a team we must focus on market opportunities with traction now, build products with partners to serve that market, and focus our team efforts towards Market-Product-Team fit.
The proposed guilds below are the focus areas and deliverables with the goal to drive utility to Harmony now.
