Animoca Brands has partnered with Brinc to launch the Guild Accelerator Program to grow the global play-to-earn ecosystem.
Online applications operating on Launchpad Luna will remain open throughout February. It is planned to start in May, with priority given to groups committed to sustainability.
An initial investment of up to $500,000 will be made for each accepted early stage guild. The total investment capital will be up to $30 million within two years.
The Guild Accelerator Program will be led by Richard Robinson, Resident Entrepreneur of Animoca Brands, who aims to scale growth, nurture innovation and raise funds. Meanwhile, Avocado Guild Founder Brendan Wong, Yield Guild Games Head of Partnerships Sasuke Sarutobi, and Ancient8 Co-Founder Howard Xu will be among the experts, supporters, and mentors join from the Animoca Brands networks.
Brinc CEO and Founder Manav Gupta gave the following words in his speech:
“The technologies, principles and business models developed in gaming that have enabled true digital asset ownership and utilisation (with aligned stakeholders) can be leveraged across all future areas of jobs and work. Guilds can help transform education, skill development, agriculture, R and D and almost any industry where access to tools and assets historically prevented anyone with time to innovate, up-skill and thus earn a living.”
Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands, added:
“The play-to-earn guilds space has enormous potential for growth. The management of digital assets in games and in the open metaverse represents a significant source of income for hundreds of millions of people.”
