Metaiye Media is currently raising up to $1.07M via a Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) offering on StartEngine. We want to enable our customers and stakeholders who believe in us the most, by giving them the opportunity to invest in Metaiye Knights and become a part of our growth as we continue to scale.

Investments in Metaiye Media can be purchased at $100, with various investor perks you can unlock at higher levels of investment. Check out our perks here.

Equity crowdfunding is a relatively young phenomenon, which is why I will recap the Metaiye Knights mission, why we chose equity crowdfunding to scale our vision, and how we plan to use our funding from the campaign.

As The World’s First Crypto Comic, metaKnyts’ Vision is to Scale our Tradable and High-Value Comics as NFTs

The global collectibles market is over $370 billion!

People have a natural impulse to collect things, which is driving the purchase of collectible items such as sports memorabilia, games, art, and more. As the world rapidly adopts digital technologies, how is this market growth going to expand?

Blockchain adoption is creating an innovation — digital collectibles. The new medium is gaining in its influence and popularity fast.

While seemingly unrelated, the potential impact it will have on the cryptocurrency world is quite massive. Today, businesses are already presenting the collectible market with new offerings as NFTs, considering their economic and cultural impact.

And metaKnyts is doing exactly that.

In 2019, Metaiye Media announced the release of metaKnyts — world’s first digital Crypto Comic. At inception, the vision was to release the comic with a wallet so users could have a self-sovereign ID, and collect our comic media as non-fungible tokens.

I’m proud to say, we’ve achieved that vision. As of May 12th, 2021 Metaiye Knights is live on Mintable, where you can collect scenes from the metaKnights comic as NFTs. Learn more about our launch below

Though this is a huge milestone in our timeline, there is still much to achieve in our timeline.

As a startup, fundraising capital is paramount to achieving milestone timelines that lead to success, and Metaiye Media is no different.

Traditionally, startups looking for funding turned to venture capitalists and angel investors. However, funding rules and regulations have in the past decade expanded and democratized funding opportunities for startups like Metaiye Knights.

Enter equity crowdfunding.

What is Equity Crowdfunding and Why Did Metaiye Media Choose This Funding Option?

In essence, equity crowdfunding allows startups and private companies to raise capital from the crowd through the sales of securities like shares or a convertible note.

Previously, these investment opportunities were limited to accredited investors and extremely high-net worth individuals such as angel investors and venture capitalists until the SEC passed Title III of the JOBS in 2016.

Under Title III, regardless of wealth, anyone can invest in a private, or pre-IPO business online through a SEC-approved platform like Wefunder, StartEngine, and Microventures.

Regulation crowdfunding not only benefits investors, but also startups like Metaiye Media and our issuers. Before the JOBS act, startups were limited to VC firms and corporate avenues with higher barriers to entry. Now, Metaiye Media can raise money through our loyal fans and supporters, and a global community dedicated to advancing healthcare.

Metaiye Media chose equity crowdfunding as a viable option because we believe in the democratization of investments. We believe ANYONE should be able to invest in the startups they believe in and benefit from their success — not just VCs and venture capitalists.

Even more, it gives us the opportunity to create and reward a unique community of investors who are our biggest fans, and believers in being a part of the future of digital collectables. They can join our mission in an exciting way and can directly benefit from our success in the form of a return on investment.

Metaiye Media Reg CF Goals on StartEngine

We have several ambitious goals in mind that we can reach with the support of a successful equity crowdfunding campaign. With our funding we plan to:

  • Launch the world’s first Crypto Comic and Crypto Graphic Novel saga
  • Launch the world’s first Crypto Comic and Graphic Novel driven Crypto Video game series
  • Launch the world’s first universal wallet via the metaKnights saga integrating Crypto Currency, Crypto Media and Crypto Data assets.

Ultimately, funding will help us meet our timeline.
