I’m happy seeing VC’s who care about impact. I’m the founder of Vid30. It’s a streaming plateform like Netflix, Video Prime, Disney+,… - 🏢 Without building an another data-center but on local storage by using users device. - 🎞 Without broadcasting movies right because users have already paids twice for theses content. - 💵 Users can save and earn money when they are watching, discussing on there favorite movies. - 💰 People in need can store movies and other data for web3 and earn money. - 👨👩👧👦 Make famillies enjoy spending time together on Cinema. All that are legal and made with Web3, video tapes/DVD, some people who believes in it. I have a #frugal and #jugaad innovation mindset and use it to contribute on building a better world for my son. It’s a small step but hoppefully Rebecca Ravenni , Alice Segre , Rodrigo Pais de Ramos and impact VC’s we can do incredible impact for the next generation. maze impact @VDTK Vid30 #PBW24 #Web3
