Sirsu is the co-founder of BLVKHVND. He’s an artist, designer, brand creator, gamer.
BLVKHVND is creating an emerging ecosystem for onchain esports organizations. Their mission is to be the center of competition no matter where it lives.
After breaking history as the first DAO to win a professional world championship they are driven to make the HVND fully owned and stewarded by everyone on the internet to build upon that success. In December 2022, BLVKHVND launched on Nouns Builder with a daily perpetual auction of NFTs to join their DAO.
In this episode we talk about Sirsu’s journey from earlier days in gaming, art and crypto. You’ll hear stories from the origins of Zora, Rarible and Foundation. Being in telegram groups for art and NFTs long before the hype really came into the space.
What it’s been like for Sirsu behind the scenes. Extraordinary experiences like raising $1 million in one day on a Mirror crowd fund and booting up an eSports organization with multiple teams competing around the world.
Helping to launch Mint Fund in collaboration with others at Forefront, Zora and Seed Club ~ a community-owned initiative helping crypto creators mint their first NFTs.
Sirsu has many stories to tell, and much of it is shared here for the first time.
