Dear Kosmos community,
Welcome to the third edition of Kosmos Recap — your best way to get quickly caught up to speed on Kosmos’ progress!
We’ll give you a few glimpses behind the scenes along with a recap and previews of what’s to come — while keeping it refreshingly concise and to the point :)
What’s in this edition:
- Highlights of the past month
- Community recap
- What’s next
- How to get involved
Highlights of the past month
The main development in October was signing on with a leading consulting firm. This is a group of OGs in the space who have launched many successful brands including Crypto.com. More details will be announced later. They are helping us refine plans for everything from product and Web3 integration strategy to risk management, marketing, and funding.
Our focus has been on maximizing our time spent with them and tapping into their wealth of knowledge and network — so that we have as bulletproof a roadmap as possible heading into this next bull market!
We had some incredible banter in spaces with partners to discuss the evolution of storytelling — recordings are linked below:
- With Little Lemon Friends
- With Vagabond Magazine
Community
We launched the $1000 prize pool Zealy Competition, which runs through the end of November! You can stack your xp by attending live events, giving feedback, helping spread the word, and developing your own stories — see the announcement in Discord for full details if you missed it: https://discord.com/channels/1099056391450263584/1126347672845029397/1164641020135362621
Weekly Outlaw Gatherings have continued to drive creative conversation and fun every Thursday at 5:30 EST. A few changes this month:
- We switched to Twitter/X to host them, to make them easier to find, share, and catch recordings!
- In addition to “Storycaster Live” gatherings where an individual community member shares about their story in development, we will sometimes have a “Bonfire” gathering for more open-ended discussion on a favorite storytelling theme or genre. This week’s gathering will be a Bonfire discussion on Fantasy: https://twitter.com/kosmos_stories/status/1721642633162809634
What’s next
We are working on new initiatives to give you all much more structure, training, accountability, and support in developing your stories — so that when the Kosmos platform goes live you’ll be able to be featured as early creators!
How to get involved
There are a few simple things you can do to support Kosmos during this stage:
1. Attend Outlaw Gatherings and twitter/X spaces — they’re fun, help everyone stay informed, and form tighter community bonds!
2. Make introductions to partners that may be a good fit for collaboration or investment.
3. Keep developing you own stories, and share progress/get community feedback in the Kosmos server so we can help you get them in ship shape in time to publish when we launch! Ultimately, your stories are the most important part of this whole ecosystem — what it’s all about. 💜
Conclusion
We’re incredibly grateful for each an every one of you. Thank you for being part of this mission to reimagine storytelling — as we make the user experience more rich, engaging, and memorable than ever before, while giving creators full control over their work and fan relationships.
If you have questions or thoughts don’t ever hesitate to reach out — just respond to this email, or find me on any other platform. 🤝
All the best,
Stephen
