Technical Lead

We are StoryDAO

Here at StoryDAO, our mission is to create Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) where communities can own, participate, and create story-based IP that becomes as culturally relevant as Star Wars, Pokemon, or The Simpsons. The IP created by these communities will be used in TV, movies, comic books, narrative podcasts, and games.

StoryDAO is a narrative-based world-building project on the Ethereum blockchain using character-based NFTs created by incredible artists, and storylines written by known Hollywood talent to establish community membership and encourage participation. We are changing the way that IP is created and owned, and bridging the gap between the metaverse and Hollywood by moving from a top-down, centralized, and closed sandbox framework to a bottom-up, decentralized, and open-sourced one. It is the ultimate fan experience - you have access to some of the most famous writers and producers in Hollywood, own the characters, help govern the DAO treasury, and have the opportunity to actively participate in the story development. We are pioneering a “create to own” model.

StoryDAO is backed by some of the biggest influencers, VCs, DOAists, and Hollywood talent in the world. Our membership includes the following people and firms: Collab + Currency, Gmoney, Shelby and Sandy, Metaversal, Cooper Turley, Jess Sloss (Seed Club), The Story Brothers, Aaron Wright, Pri Desai, Flamingo DAO, The LAO, Andrew Steinwold, Josh Rosenthal, Packy McCormack, Roneil Rumburg (Audius), James Beshara, Seed Club Ventures, Lloyd Braun (Endeavor), SFermion, Sonny Lee (Silicon Valley), Sabrina Han, Ariel Shaffir & Kyle Hunter (Sausage Party), and Patrick Rivera (Mirror)

We are a rapidly growing startup moving at the lightning-fast pace of crypto. The candidate we select will play an essential role to the development, culture, and future of the company, as well as paving the way for this new approach to entertainment.
