Today we’d like to introduce you to Modern Edge Collective.
Hi, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Our journey began at Florida Atlantic University, where we first met. While in college, we dabbled in multiple dropshipping ventures, selling everything from baby toys to Halloween costumes. As we were nearing the end of our academic pursuits, the NFT boom took off, and we found ourselves drawn to buying, selling, and flipping these digital assets. As we delved further into the web3 world, friends, artists, and creatives approached us about getting their art onto the blockchain. This was the spark that ignited Modern Edge Collective.
Our vision was to assist artists by handling all the technical aspects of minting their artwork and developing collections, freeing them up to focus on their creative passion. Unfortunately, a few months into our operation, the crypto winter arrived and the market crashed, causing us to reevaluate our business plan and strategy.
Today, the collective has evolved and now focuses on three main areas: design studio, online ticketing, and creative collaborations. Our mission statement reflects our commitment to innovation and to being a driving force in shaping the world we live in today. We are a collective of forward-thinking individuals and companies dedicated to advancing innovation in the modern world.
Our collaboration with many talented creators naturally led us to become a design studio with a focus on 3D assets, animation/motion graphics, and a range of other services from album cover art to digital architectural build-outs . Our team has been instrumental in creating Metaverse cosmetics, scaling virtual environments, enhancing UX/UI design, and producing virtual replicas of products for companies.
As we continue to explore the potential of blockchain technology, we identified a significant opportunity in the ticketing industry. We spent months researching and strategizing how to break the monopolization within the online ticketing space, and our third co-founder, Justin Kook, who has a background in software development, joined us in our efforts. Our upcoming ticketing solution, Gen3 Tickets, is expected to launch in four months.
In addition to our work in design and ticketing, we collaborate with creatives from various fields, such as photography, painting, and fashion. We host joint events and help brands develop their web3 approach. Our inaugural company event was for Art Basel, where we showcased five exceptional artists. In 2023, we plan to organize more events and networking parties to promote creativity and collaboration within our community.
Overall, Modern Edge Collective is committed to driving innovation and helping others leverage the power of technology to achieve their creative goals.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting a business is always a challenging process, and the current state of the economy and society, heavily impacted by COVID, has made it even more difficult. The biggest challenge is to stay positive and avoid self-doubt or discouragement.
It’s important to not only define your ultimate goal but also to establish incremental goals that can help you make steady progress towards your main objective. The end goal can often feel overwhelming or discouraging, but by breaking it down into smaller, achievable milestones, it can help you stay motivated and focused. Before you know it, you’ll have made significant strides towards your ultimate achievement, boosting morale and paving the way for continued success.
As you know, we’re big fans of Modern Edge Collective. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Our team has a strong track record of identifying and resolving issues within specific markets and industries. In the realm of design, we specialize in streamlining the process of managing creators and ensuring timely delivery of design work. As for our ticketing platform, we have identified an untapped market that no other platform is addressing.
What distinguishes us from other companies is our commitment to professionalism, our ability to execute on projects, and our collaborative work ethic.
We take immense pride in the talented creators, designers, and entrepreneurs that we work with, and it’s always a pleasure to collaborate with them.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
