Competition


Addressing the "consumer-friendly, self-service"
market gap

Competing sites that offer white label NFT marketplaces require all participants to be extremely crypto and web 3 savvy and have long deployment times. 

With fiat onramps and instantly deployable marketplaces, Curios is the leader in the space and our adoption rate proves this. 

Curios vast client list allows us to stay on the cutting edge of NFT offerings and maintain the exact tool suite new clients are looking for.

Vision and strategy


How can we change the way businesses engage their customers in the metaverse and on web3?

Curios' vision is to make interacting with NFTs easier than online shopping. The vast power of web3 will change the internet and the world and Curios has the tool set to power that change. 

We aim to empower creators so they can continue to focus on what they do best and leave the technical hurdles to us. 


Use of funds


Funds will be used to scale our existing technology to add to our ever increasing enterprise client list. 

The funds also will help us accelerate our roadmap to maintain our lead in the space. 

Lastly funds will be used to increase customer awareness of our platform and its ease of use.


Product development


Build out Product Support / Operations
Marketing / Sales / Business Development
Bring advanced web3 infrastructure to everyday applications

Funding


Curios chose Republic to raise its seed round

as we want to share our success in web3 and NFT marketplaces with the community. 

We believe crypto and web3 will democratize the internet, and we want to start by offering equity in our company in a way that is inclusive and accessible by all. 

Curios is currently backed by The Fund (thefund.vc).

Our seed valuation is extremely low, especially for web3 and blockchain companies. We are targeting a valuation of $100 million by the end of 2022.
