Evolving Verse: Interview with Jamie Gourlay, Founder of Verse

Waiting To Be Signed

We welcome Jamie for a return interview, a little over one year later since we last had him on! In this episode we discuss:

• Big lessons and takeaways for Jamie & Verse coming out of the 2023 bear market
• Consolidation of artists towards curated platforms & competing for releases
• Verse as a conduit for the gallery art world to access web3 and what exciting release they have coming soon as a test case
• Managing web3 communities as an artist and the need to be connected & authentic
• Verse becoming more web3 oriented with recent announcements
• The role of the market in onboarding new collectors & how new artists can break through without using open platforms
• Verse collecting & supporting artists that release with them
• Solana & the potential for Verse to add other chains moving forward
• Reacting to the recent announcement from Art Blocks & cross-platform collaborations
• The goal of a potential Verse community token
