This NFT-a-thon
Beginning on November 15, support LatinX Nonprofits and LatinX startup founders.
Join the LatinX #Equalithon and participate in teams that support LatinX! Or mentor them.
Find solutions to all kinds of challenges (tech and non-tech) and help LatinX get better opportunities: we’ll scale the impact of a nonprofit and we’ll help launch and fund a LatinX founder’s startup.
Together, let’s fight for causes with more than just good intentions!
This NFT-a-thon is an opportunity to:
address a critical Societal challenge;
improve and scale our impact, together.
-
NFT-a-thons are:
Innovation, Tech and Funding through Art,
Collaborations by artists, tech students, company employees, nonprofits and startup founders,
From and for underserved communities.
No matter your experience,
during this NFT-a-thon, you will be invited to register to general events and other events where you can support with your skills (development, NFTs, design, marketing, art, legal…).

Optional: if they’d like us to help them digitalize their art, and how. AR? video? Algorithms?
Mandatory: we’ll create a smart contract for them to sell their art and distribute the money to our beneficiary founders and nonprofits.
To help them sell their art, we need to prepare a webpage and some marketing!

How this NFT-a-thon works
Tracks
You can choose among the following, depending on your skills or your interests. For instance, if you are a developer, you are welcome to participate in the Marketer & Project Manager’s event. If you are a Marketer, it might however be harder to participate in a developer’s event - but you can also provide support there as well.
Altogether events. Anyone should attend these events: ask questions to the nonprofits and founders, show support to the teams and meet each other.
Marketer and Project Managers events. Events to qualify the requirements of nonprofits and founders, and plan for in-product and other kinds of marketing.
Designers events. Events to leverage your design skills, for instance, to prepare a website’s design, according to the specs given by PMs or the previous group, or to prepare an artist’s webpage using a CMS for an NFT-a-thon.
Developer events. Work with other developers primarily and data scientists, working altogether or by themselves to implement the solutions defined and designed previously.
Artist events. Events for artists
Mentors/Partners/Sponsors events. Events dedicated to these kinds of stakeholders so we can organize, onboard, or connect them with each other.
