EXCLUSIVE: Blockchain streamer Vabble has launched an on-demand trading service and is kicking it off with a three-part documentary series from the crypto accelerator.
Founder Community Alliance is behind the TVOD service’s debut show, Minimum Viable Product, which offers insight into the accelerator’s MVP hackathon, where a group of New York City programmers developed a new product.
Over the course of two weeks, the series will follow 20 development teams as they compete for $350,000 in funding. The winning project will join the next Alliance Accelerator cohort and receive mentorship from a team that has incubated some of the cryptocurrency industry’s hottest projects.
Alliance co-founders Imran Khan and Qiao Wang break down each project to its core elements and evaluate it to determine whether it can be viable as a sustainable business. The series aims to show what life at a startup is like.
The TVOD platform was launched earlier this month and the platform will be run through cryptocurrency.
More “Watch and Talk” offers will be coming soon, with the final episode of Minimum Viable Product coming this week, featuring a discussion between Khan, Alliance Marketing Lead and CC0 Studios founder, and Joe McNaney, Hackathon winner and prominent member of Vabble’s Content Committee.
This interactive session aims to provide deeper insight into the creative process, the challenges the team faces, and the future of blockchain technology.
Vabble is one of several cryptocurrency-based streaming platforms, most of which aim to empower filmmakers by decentralizing the commissioning process and allowing them to upload their own content. At the time of launch, the company’s founders claimed they recognized an imbalance in the film distribution ecosystem and intended to offer an alternative to Hollywood studios and other big players.
Vabble’s board of directors includes advisors such as former CBS Studios sales executive Barry Chamberlain, former IMAX distribution chief Philip Groves, eOne marketing chief Joanna Miles and former Universal Pictures executive vice president John C. Hall.
