Alpha Bites #010

August 04, 2022

Happy #010 edition of The Vested! Thank you for being on this journey w us. We jumped into this world of web3 back in October, and seeing how web2 companies are adapting web3 into their growth strategy is exciting to watch. We see you Gucci.

The week we’re taking the time to share with you the mission of Miss O Cool Girls, which came from Juliette Brindak Blake’s web2 company, Miss O and Friends. The Miss O and Friends brand has been around since 2005, starting as a hobby then turning into a business after receiving significant investment from Procter & Gamble. Through the Miss O and Friends website (#1 tween girls website), app (only safe chat app for tween girls) and video content (YouTube Originals series, Hyperlinked), Miss O and Friends is a safe socialization brand creating an authentic and genuine community “by girls, for girls.” 

As for the company’s ventures into web3, Miss O Cool Girls aims to continue to be a source of safe internet interactions for young girls, building a blockchain enabled platform to meet all their needs for their evolving social self. MOCG is positioned as an early adopter in the internet’s transition to web3, creating a healthier and safer environment allowing girls to shape their own narrative. By featuring unique and diverse traits - acne, braces, gap teeth - the mission is to empower and build self-esteem in girls to continue to offset how current media and social media consumption are leading to toxic bullying, trolling, and negative role models.

We're also using our platform to educate girls about crypto and web3 through Girls Who Mint, invest in other girl and women NFT projects, and donate a portion of initial sales to like-minded foundations aligned with our mission, like Girl Up.

We highly recommend giving Juliette’s talk with BFF a listen for a more in-depth vision of Miss O Cool Girls current success and future goals. Let's go moxie fam!
