Blockchain Architect

About Story Story is pioneering the next generation of internet creativity by building the foundational IP infrastructure for the blockchain era. In a world where the internet has enabled unprecedented ways of creating, sharing, and evolving creative work—such as endless remixing, participatory franchises, and AI-generated content—the existing intellectual property systems fall short. Story seeks to bridge this gap by developing a decentralized, open IP infrastructure that aligns with the openness and collaborative spirit of the web. Our mission is to empower creators by providing a blockchain-based platform where the evolution of creative IP—whether it's prose, images, audio, or more—can be transparently tracked, attributed, and monetized. Our open IP repository not only records the provenance of creative works but also enables seamless composability, allowing contributors to co-create and share in the value they generate. Much like how Git revolutionized open-source software development by tracking code evolution, Story is transforming how creative IP is developed and shared in the digital age. Our team is composed of seasoned experts in media, technology, and business, including successful serial entrepreneurs. We are supported by leading venture capital firms globally.
