@Mintdropz welcome to Harmony!

Love what you guys are doing and I see there’s alignment with the execution strategy. There are signals which indicate this is a strong fit, and our grants program have certain guidelines.

Would your team be open to a $50k Launch grant, followed by an introduction to VCs for investments via the Harmony Venture Network?

  • Launch grants are incentives for teams to launch their project on Harmony with a short 3-month exclusivity deal + co-marketing strategies such as AMA, retweet mainnet launches, etc. (marketing strategies to be discussed).
  • Harmony’s launch grants are not investments, nor are they meant to provide teams with funding they require to complete development of their project.
  • Teams should be in tune with the scope of their project, ensure it’s deliverable and feasible within their skill and internal budget.

Funds will be released upon completing these milestones:

$10K after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet
$10K after forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig with our DAOs
$10K after launching on our mainnet with audit
$10K after 1K daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion)
$10K after 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process)

@Jacksteroo,

Thanks for this opportunity.

We would love to join Harmony. $50K launch grant and introductions to VCs work for us.

We will launch on Harmony and will complete all milestones.

Please let us know the next steps to initiate the process.

hey Ryan @Mintdropz

I’m super impressed with what your team is doing here – to become the SquareSpace for NFTs. I get this. Mintdropz looks slick and well built. But at Harmony, we already have a no-code NFT platform from a prior grant, for this reason, and at the current market conditions, we won’t be able to move forward with approving this proposal.

What we can do is to do co-marketing with you to see how the launch would go on Harmony. If things go well, we can work on a ongoing grant to continue building out a launch program, hacker house events, etc. to build together and apply DAO-related use cases on Mintdropz

For the time being, we’ll close out this proposal and we can continue our discussions offline.
