BORED APE YACHT CLUB

IT’S A THING

Wealthy, punk, and existentially bored…let’s go hang out in the bar. It sounds like a formula that 90% of the world day dreams, while clocking in and tapping away at emails. So here we are with a $4.31 billion dollar storyline that has all of us wishing we were the authors.

FOUNDERS

Bored Ape Yacht Club is the brain child of Greg Solano, Wylie Aronow and two engineer friends. Both Greg and Wylie, from Florida, have a history in crypto, writing and literary endeavors. So the formula adds up that they create an origin story about a group of rich apes living in a swamp clubhouse…and so it begins. To date, that clubhouse membership will cost you $400k to get in.

STORY AND NFTS

What is now a part of the Yuga Labs empire started with a few creative crypto punks focused on a fomo storyline, a great design team, and a consistent execution of holder value. They’ve rode the escalations with laser eyes on them and are defining the NFT space. They are now a legitimate brand, backed by VCs, and giving their holders IP rights, exclusive drops, and now the Otherside metaverse to roam as they please.

This is just the beginning of a fantastical narrative driven project that has a rocket to the moon.

YOU BELONG AT ALPHA GIRL CLUB

MANIFESTO

The greatest need of the human condition is to belong. Disney has made millions on storylines of lovable protagonists that don’t fit in. The huntchback of Notre Dame was a deformed Quasimodo full of heart and living in the shadows. Peter Pan was an un-aging boy who could also fly, and Elsa brought wintery emotions in a place where having powers wasn’t cool. Meet Alpha Girl Club and their manifesto to empower their 33k all gender community to become the hero of their own stories.

FOUNDERS WITH PURPOSE

Founders Charles Koh (ex-Google) and John Irwin (Japanese Artist) team up with Kayle John as a Co-creator and Chief Storyteller. They pack their accessibly priced NFT with real life utility to change the narrative around mental health stigmitism. In this community, voicing struggles around emotions and mental health do not make a person weak…it makes them an Alpha.

ALPHA FOLKLORE

Alpha Girls begin their journey in life born as half-human and half-Alpha, specifically, being tied to the bloodline of an original Alpha. Growing up unaware of her bloodline, each girl struggles with her own emotional barrier; trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. You’ll find traits like ear plugs, spirit masks, broken glasses, joker lips, tired eyes, and midnight freckles. You’ll also find inspiration, acceptance, and a solid project on a mission to create change alongside their community.
