Hi, I'm joe gonzalez, I'm the co-founder of huddling pudlin is a platform for creators and their audiences to connect and share the stories behind their entities. First, we're actually going to start with our grand vision.

A

What we're noticing today is that protocols are currently being forced to develop their own gaps, just to connect users to their services and everyone's really starting from scratch.

A

What we're witnessing right now is a is a user-based issue that nobody's really talking about yet pudlin's vision is to solve this by becoming the consumer application layer of web 3, where users can bring and create nft, backed content, essentially becoming a content metaverse and where all these different d5 entity cross chain protocols are now just features of one platform where there's a plethora of users, but to achieve this vision first, we are developing a product that people want to use today, so we spent hundreds of hours with different artists and creators trying to dissect what their biggest pain points in the nft space are.

A

Today. Some of these artists are in the top 50 sellers on opencv and do you know where nfc creators are spending? Most of their time, you would think that it's creating their work, but it's actually promoting creators are promoting their work by narrating the journey behind their collections. They share their experiences, their stories behind these amazing collections and they're, but they're not really capturing it right now.

A

Creators are bouncing around retelling their stories over and over again, and it's really a content and distribution problem, we're focusing on tackling the content component first, so we developed a platform that connects you to your audience and lets. You include the behind the scenes, content everything you post on huddle in becomes an nft and is tied to your collection. So it travels with your collection in the metaverse which ultimately helps in distribution as well.

A

We are one of the first nft social platforms available on the app store, not only that we are the best nft social platform for mobile. We have the cleanest ui. We have one of the simplest ux's. Everything is gases.

A

You don't even need to know what nfts are you don't need to know what blockchain is in order to use our platform, we're actually going to go into a quick little demo to show off a little bit here we go so what you're looking at right now uh is a what we call our social feed, which is a feed of all these different nfts that are being minted on our platform.

A

Any user can pop up in the camera, start recording themselves record something else um and use it just as if they would use tick, tock or instagram, but in the end process it becomes an nft. um You can also tip other users to show your appreciation, and we just launched this sales feature, um so you can sell your stories now um as well behind your collections so from there. I actually want to talk about the team as well.

A

So uh there's some history behind this stuff me and my wife uh founded hudlin in 2019 as a part-time project. It actually started off as a as a crypto meetup app, but when we were building it, we quickly realized. We needed, like a social layer, social component, to help people discover new events and to get connected with people, and at that point we realized.

A

There was no really good native web 3 platform to create this social graph with and at that time, that's when we uh decided to pivot and actually try to become that web3 um uh social layer uh for other protocols and other platforms that want to distribute content that want to plug in um to an existing user base along the way we built our team uh ash is uh has been in the uh blockchain space since 2013 super rockstar uh steven's, actually, a co-founder of munchpoint, uh another crypto, startup uh and joseph of vargas is our community.

A

He has tons of experience rallying efforts and building communities once our platform went live our community members started providing us with tons of feedback of different improvements and features that they wanted, um and we released about seven or eight different updates from july to august um all based on the the feedback that we've been receiving from our community. uh This has given us some early traction, but we're still in the early days, so our business model is pretty simple. uh Huddling is successful when our users are successful, we have multiple avenues of income.

A

Firstly, our marketplace will generate transactions, we're also looking into social tokens, uh protocol governance um and just having strong ties with different protocols. Our target market is pretty obvious. It's nfc creatives that want to capture and share the stories around their collections. um We think that these this group has the smallest learning curve. um It has the most motivation to create content around their artwork and around the creations.

A

It's also uh the community that we have the closest tie, tune that we're building this product, for so it makes sense. So here's our roadmap. uh This is for a 12 to 18 month roadmap and it's in split in different phases. Our first phase is really uh um launching our storytelling features and our marketplace integrations.

A

So we've proven we can get to market and we know where our beachhead lies and we know the steps we need to take to reach a broader vision, we're already on this journey uh and we're looking forward to seeing what stories you will tell in your next draw thanks.
