How to bet on yourself & try to build a $1bn tech company

My weekly progress on how to do this

Hey there,


Thanks for following our journey at hypeal.com.

This month we went live with 4 customers (+4 onboarding next month), generated $8,000 in revenue from HYPES (NFTs) transactions and increased up to +190% the average order value of HYPES holders for selected brands.

Happy to see value in brands using our MVP and looking forward to smoother the onboarding process and embedding our solution directly to brands' stores from December onwards (Shift from marketplace to B2B SaaS).
