Excited to be part of the Reverse Pitch Night series run by @vidags10 featuring @EVP_VC @AfterWorkVC @blackbirdvc hosted by @hidovetail where we’ll be lifting the lid of which VCs you should chat to for your next raise 👀
What. a. crew. Great to bring together the AfterWork crew and the @AfterNauts for our inaugural NAUT FEST, and to partner with @airwallex to make it all happen!
A big congratulations to our co-founders @alexjkhor and @adrianmpetersen for their recognition in Forbes 30 under 30 (lnkd.in/dSHgq6NV)!
If you’re thinking of dipping your toes into web3 - we’re still minting over at mint.afterwork.vc/ - the whole crew are excited to meet new ‘nauts, so jump onboard the voyage to the Kuiper Belt!
What sets AfterWork Astronauts apart from other NFT projects is that most members are #web3 curious - rather than web3 natives. We’re proud to be many nauts’ first NFT - and the place which launched their exploration of the web3 galaxy
🏦 55% of proceeds from the mint go straight to a community Treasury, which is collectively governed by ‘nauts. The Treasury has accumulated over 100 #Solana ($20k AUD) which can be directed towards future events, projects, grants, charitable giving, or investments
💬 Every day there’s thoughtful and eye-opening conversations happening in our channels - topics range from Buddism to FIRE to corporate takeovers to geopolitics to esoteric memes and progressively worse dad jokes
🍻 We've organised two in-person, DAO-funded events; in Sydney and Melbourne. The Sydney one had over 20 ‘nauts attend
🧢 We're working on a physical merch drop - concept designs are in progress
🖼️ ‘nauts have spawned an independent NFT collector DAO called the Nauty Collectors Club. The DAO has over 20 ETH in commitments on @SyndicateDAO and last night made its first purchase - a BEANZ (@AzukiOfficial sidekick) for just under 5 ETH
It’s been 1 month since we launched our #NFT project @AfterNauts, and the ingenuity and initiative shown by this group has been🤯
Better yet, the vast majority of projects and hijinks have been driven by the community - not the team. In the last month -
Public launch mid-Jan, but if you've registered your interest we'll give you early access and a discount :D
NFTs and AfterWork have the same red-hot centre - community! Excited to preview our very own NFT project - Astronauts After Work, launching in January 2022. Read more about it here: afterwork.vc/astronauts

1) Start with why.
Audience ≠ community. Don't start a group chat for your followers or customers and expect a healthy community to form!
Be thoughtful - do these people need a place to connect? Or will your community be yet another Slack/Discord they check occasionally?
