Metaversal, an innovative holding company that co-produces, curates, and invests in iconic NFT projects and the key technology that unlocks the metaverse, is thrilled to announce its official launch .

Metaversal is the first company to combine a venture studio and investment firm focused on NFTs. The venture studio serves as an indispensable partner to artists, brands, and other holders of intellectual property, guiding them into the new digital renaissance and turning their powerful stories into evocative NFT projects. In addition to co-producing and curating, the company underwrites each project and identifies the best technology and pathways to engage target audiences. Metaversal’s investment arm commits capital to essential companies that enable the metaverse to thrive, and selectively acquires unique NFTs for its corporate collection.

“Metaversal was created to help bridge the gap for creators navigating between the conventional world and the rapidly growing metaverse, and investors who want to participate in its growth,” said Metaversal Co-Founder and CEO Yossi Hasson. “We have assembled a world-class team that is uniquely positioned to craft the infinite stories of our culture.”

“The hypergrowth across the NFT ecosystem marks the dawn of a new, multi-trillion dollar creator economy,” said Metaversal Co-Founder and President Dan Schmerin. “Value, community, and ownership are being redefined by the decentralization of culture and content, and Metaversal will play a leading role in building this future alongside the world’s most recognizable brands, creators, and IP owners.”

Noun #9 was the first NFT acquisition by Metaversal, and is indicative of the company’s focus on revolutionary projects that embody community, ingenuity, and innovation. Metaversal chose to join the Noun community early in order to become actively involved in the development of that extraordinary network. Additional NFTs are added to the corporate collection each week, with an emphasis on productive assets that can benefit from Metaversal’s constructivist investment strategy.

Holaplex was the first NFT infrastructure investment initiated by Metaversal, representing a unique opportunity to support a no-code-required, easy-to-use platform that empowers creators to build their own NFT marketplaces, stores, and generative drops without needing an engineer.

Metaversal has already embarked on numerous NFT-related initiatives in its venture studio, including a visual arts project alongside former Executive Director of the International Center of Photography Mark Lubell and acclaimed film producer Donald Rosenfeld. “Photography, film, and all of the visual arts will find profound, exquisite new forms of expression through NFT projects that we are thrilled to fully realize for years to come in partnership with Metaversal,” said Lubell and Rosenfeld. Metaversal is also proud to support cutting-edge projects with its first Artist-in-Residence: Bitchcoin creator Sarah Meyohas.
