We chatted with Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs, who is an Innovator amongst our community of Athletes, Conservationists, Technologists, Artists, and Innovators.
NBA TopShot, a marketplace for collecting video moments in NBA history, grew from nothing to a $5B run rate in less than 60 days. Bill Tai invested when they were valued at $140M in 2018 and now they are raising at over $7.6B.
Roham talks about why Dapper Labs developed Flow blockchain when CryptoKitties was clogging the Ethereum network. He also spoke about Flow, which launched last October in a community token sale and has zoomed over 46X, currently at the time of this post, 27X. Several NFT marketplaces have launched on the Flow protocol.
Hear about their incredibly humble origin story and what Bill saw in them when most people were probably scratching their heads about a game on the blockchain for breeding digital cats!
