Inspiration was the pain of not being able to pay $10,000 for a high end journal to publish my paper and getting no royalty after having published.
What it does- Our platform allows users to mint their research papers as NFTs, get ownership and shared profits on each sale.
How we built it- We built a networking platform integrated with publishing so that we could create a self-sustainable market place.
Challenges we ran into
-Capital to build an NFT marketplace. -Creating Editorial Board -Getting researchers on board
Accomplishments that we're proud of
-We've 500 customers ready to use our platform. -We are Delaware registered C-Corp -Our Editorial board is of global doctors
What we learned
-Researchers are hesitant to put their work in a journal with no Impact factor. -Monetising any medical content over just research papers could be better. -There is no global networking platform for doctors. -Our target audience can be difficult to acquire.
What's next for CUREwrite Inc
We need to build our MVP to take this to next level.
