Big Bucks for Web3 Dreams

Tally Labs is making waves in the Web3 sphere with a hefty $12 million in seed funding. This Web3 media company has its sights set on amplifying the life of Jenkins the Valet—a character stemming from the vibrant world of Bored Ape NFTs—across a variety of entertainment formats. Who knew a fictional valet could lead to a real cash bonanza?

A Focus on Growth and Expansion

The funds are not just sitting pretty in a vault; Tally Labs aims to use them for expanding Jenkins’ intellectual property and bringing in six new hires for various roles, all of which come with that sweet remote flexibility. The naming of specific investors—like a16z crypto and flashy individuals such as Odell Beckham Jr.—is no accident. Each investor was handpicked to match the core values of Web3 and decentralized content creation. It’s kind of like a matchmaking service for startup cash!

Safa’s Words of Wisdom

Safa, one of the co-founders, shared insightful thoughts with Cointelegraph. He stated, “I think capital in today’s day and age is not incredibly difficult to come by, but we think it’s more so about who the money comes from.” In a world where dollars chase opportunity, this firm is intentional about finding partnerships that align with their vision, proving that having money is one thing, but having the right money is a whole different ballgame.

New Narratives with Jenkins

As Valet Jones put it, Jenkins is more than just an NFT character—he’s like the superhero of their universe! With the intent to evolve Jenkins’ storyline through partnerships and new narratives, Tally Labs plans to roll out a fictional novel titled Bored + Dangerous, penned by the ever-reputable Neil Strauss. What could go wrong when you have a bestseller gushing through the tales of the Bored Ape Yacht Club?

Building the Tech Infrastructure

Concluding their aspirations, Valet Jones underlined the commitment to craft a robust technological infrastructure to turn these dreams into realities. “Every time Jenkins has a new adventure… new software will also be created to make the community interaction as amazing as possible,” he said. One can only imagine the fun and innovative content that awaits Tally Lab’s community—think whimsical adventures elevated by seamless tech integration.
