Exclusive: How NFTs Can Revolutionize Startup Funding – Interview with Daniel Tenner

cryptonews.com:

At the Blockchain Economy London Summit, Cryptonews had the opportunity to sit down with Daniel Tenner, the founder of Pledg3r and GrantTree, to discuss the game-changing potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the world of startup funding. 

During the interview, Tenner shared his expert insights on how NFTs can offer a unique fundraising model for businesses, and how this innovative technology can benefit both startups and investors.

Tenner's experience in the startup world led him to explore NFTs as a fundraising tool for businesses. As the founder of GrantTree, a company that helps tech startups get government funding, Tenner had been deeply involved in the startup ecosystem for over a decade. 

After leaving GrantTree in 2019, he rediscovered himself through crypto and NFTs, and realized that NFTs presented a powerful fundraising model for startups. 

Despite the fact that most NFT-based startups were not successful, Tenner saw the potential in the fundraising model itself and noticed that no one else was tapping into this potential.

As such, Tenner decided to build his own NFT-based fundraising platform.

Tenner explained that NFTs differ from traditional fundraising methods like equity crowdfunding or venture capital in several ways. 

For investors, NFTs provide more liquidity, which is a huge advantage compared to traditional startup shares that can be very illiquid. 

In addition, NFTs can offer investors more engagement and fun, with benefits attached that can be more exciting than just getting a report once a year or quarter.

"From the startup perspective, NFTs can offer the benefit of having investors who are also customers, which can help turn early investors into super fans and evangelists who can help with marketing"
