Startup Dreams Never Die started life as a music blog called Hillydilly, most famous for spotting Billie Eilish in her earliest days uploading to SoundCloud.
That evolved into a label, artist development company and fan community with a roster of 25 artists and a catalogue of more than 150 songs. It’s been exploring web3 technologies since last year, but is now taking its next step with the launch of a ‘Founder Pass’ NFT.
1,000 of them will be made available, costing 0.03 ETH each (around $47 at the time of writing) for its allowlist, and 0.05 ETH ($78) for the general public.
“Inspired by projects like Friends With Benefits, Poolsuite, PROOF, and omgkirby, we’ve seen how communities can rally around a token and share an aligned mission,” explained Dreams Never Die in its announcement. “The Founder Pass is our means of uniting our community, placing value on it, and offering functionality.”
