Hello community!
Activities completed in September
The support we received from NEAR in September allowed us to dedicate more of our time to take a step back and rethink Artivist. This was an invaluable, much-needed opportunity to evaluate our journey up to now and set our goals for the future. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to move forward. We refined how we envision our product, services and our brand with the assistance of Maggie de la Vega, from Brands with Empathy. Maggie has worked with brands such as Shiseido, La Banque de France, France Immersive Learning, and has just started her company, Seedyz (https://www.instagram.com/brandswithempathy/)
As initially planned, we had two workshops with Maggie. Both lasted longer than the three hours initially proposed, and we had an extra one-hour session with her to guide us on how to finish the tasks. We then met another four times to finalize the material. The workshops were based on two calls we had had with Maggie beforehand, and on a questionnaire with more than fifty (!) questions she provided us to help us better understand our business. The first workshop focused on building a more clear vision of our business, services, and product. We discussed the roots of Artivist, our purpose, mission, values, and vision. This discussion was the foundation for further delineating our business premises, as you can see [here - link]. The second workshop focused on our brand and our vision of potential clients. We traced the three main personae for Artivist: the NGO, the artist, and the artivist collector.
We recommend these workshops to anyone who is developing a product and creating a brand.
Besides the work with Maggie, we were able to review the wireframes that set the structure of our dApp to better envision the core functions we will need. The review and the material we already had created was the basis to have a meaningful conversation with a team of devs we met through our OPEN CALL [link]. This was an informative and exciting meeting with the team of four people – including two women, one of our priorities – to discuss our goals and needs. They are now working on a budget and proposal to continue developing the Artivist dApp.
We want to thank the support from NEAR and remember that less than 3% of startup funding goes to women founders (The State Of Venture Capital Investments In Female Founders: Change Is In The Wind, number is from the US in 2021) and that less than 9% of software developers are women (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1126823/worldwide-developer-gender/). By supporting us, NEAR works towards a change in this scenario.
Artivist is a mission-driven startup based on web3, a place for connection, equity, and empowerment where everyone belongs.
