🏈🏈NFL TO NFT: A friendship that blossomed through bonding over sports memorabilia has turned into what one founder hopes is the next great sports tech startup, reports the Philadelphia Business Journal. What’s more, a former Eagles star is on board.
"I brought it to [Vick] because I wanted somebody that, first off, believed in it and someone I had a good relationship with," 27-year-old Paladino told Tampa Bay Inno."I didn’t want to be working with someone that didn’t believe in it, and that wasn’t going to bring some type of value to this."
The company has soft launched with a more hard launch coming this September. It will let users buy NFTs that give them access to experiences with athletes. It's a tiered system, with the higher-valued NFTs garnering things like private meet-and-greets and the lower tiers getting access to things like autographed merchandise and digital trading cards.
"In my professional experience, there hasn’t been something like this," Paladino said."There are autograph signings, or you can bid on certain experiences, but the events we want to do — they would be much more intimate."
