Crypto Startup School (CSS23) Spotlight 🔦 Team: @MentaportInc Founders: @4chromat & @thinkmariale Where is the team from? “We are based in San Francisco, US 🌉 And originally from Mexico and Colombia 🇲🇽🇨🇴” What are you building? “Mentaport, a platform to create location-aware digital assets. 🍋 We empower developers to set up smart contract rules linked to physical locations, and enable dynamic controls of event triggers over time. Our platform can help you: (i) control the distribution of digital assets with geo-gating at the smart contact level; (ii) facilitate asset discovery by spatial proximity, (iii) personalize and dynamically update assets; and (iv) gamify digital asset interactions in real life.” How did the co-founders meet? “At Pear Female Founder Circles. We were the only Latinas working on non-fungible tokens and AI 🔥” What’s a milestone or update from the project that you’d like to share? “We just launched a proof-of concept of our location-aware smart contracts! Check it out @mentaportInc 📫” One lesson or takeaway from CSS so far? “Plenty to choose from, but the best part so far is the new founder friends and phenomenal mentors we have met in the last four weeks 😎” Favorite place/s you’ve been to in LA? “Rollerblading across Ocean Front Walk and exploring The Magic Castle 🪄✨”
