Objective:

The main objective of these requests is to participate in the Blockchain Land event in the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico; on September 12, 13, 14 and 15, 2022. Blockchain land pretends to be the biggest blockchain event on Latin America.

We seek to promote the NEAR protocol in new sectors, network and promote the projects that are developed in the ecosystem. Connect the LATAM with the NEAR ecosystem, incorporating new Talent to NEAR Protocol.

Our secondary objective is to make MeetUps, give conferences about the protocol, set up a stand to give more information and thus incorporate more people into the NEAR ecosystem.

Blockchain Land is the meeting place for interaction and networking between Blockchain ecosystem and industries, university students, and the general public. It is also the Gateway to the Blockchain world for any beginner participant.

Why is Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, important for the blockchain ecosystem?

Monterrey is one the biggest economies not only of Mexico but also for the whole region. Municipilaty of San Pedro Garza García, inside Monterrey, is the richest on Latin America.

Also, Monterrey is a big business center and an important bridge between Latin America and United States.

Along with this, the high business support, innovation ecosystem, industrial growth and support of the government has made Monterrey the perfect venue to have such event as Blockchain Land.

Two options for supporting this event

We are in the process of being able to integrate more people into the ecosystem and with your support we can make it possible. Attached image of the sponsorship that we seek to apply:

Startup Garden Sponsorship

Considering that this will be the biggest blockchain event, and thanks to the relationship that exists between NEAR Hispano members (Cristina, Cristian and Alan) with Talent Land. They give us extra benefits for supporting the startup garden they doing.

Our plan for the startup garden sponsorship is:

  • Invite a main representative of NEAR Foundation, Pagoda or Aurora DAO, to talk at the main stage of Blockchain Land. Would be glad that the NEAR marketing team can help set up this. (Travel expenses not included)
  • Invite a NEAR Hispano member to talk in the secondary stages about Web 3.0 DApps being builded on NEAR Protocol.
  • Mount and attend booth space to invite people to know about NEAR along with wallet creation. This booth includes NFT and merchandising gifts.
  • Distribution of Tickets partnered with NEAR Hispano guilds and projects. This can include NEAR Mexico, NEAR Venezuela, NEAR Argentina as well as other 5 NEAR projects running in the region (Meta Pool, Open Web Academy, NEAR P2P2, Burrito Battle and Nativo NFT).
  • Offer NFT tickets for the event, living on NEAR Protocol.
  • Give executive and VIP tickets to representatives running NEAR Projects in Latin America.
  • Give merchandising all over the event at the booth space.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your proposal and for all the work that you are doing on the NEAR Hispano community.

I really like this proposal. Due to the official involvement from NF, Pagoda and the size of the budget, let’s refer this to the NF Grants team @David_NEAR - can you help us connect with the right person?

Thanks for the support @satojandro.

Let’s see what advice can @David_NEAR give :wink:

Hey!

The scale of the proposal is out of scope for any of the funding verticals. Further, we don’t typically provide grants for projects who are looking to sponsor an event (of this scale).

You can email me on david@near.foundation with the details and I can send it to the Marketing team to see if they’re interested in sponsoring.

That said, the calendar is bloated and these types of things are usually planned months in advance, it’s unlikely that this will be supported by NF.

I’ll close this proposal for the time being.
