The Art of Holdings #15

Hey friends,
Sharing an allocation update on Mintplay, the gaming + Web3 funding platform I recently stepped in to lead as CEO. We have a rocket ship on our hands, and the market is already confirming it.
We recently opened a $1M fundraising round and are nearly closed. With limited allocation left, I wanted to get this in front of my community while there’s still some room.
🔥 What Mintplay Is
Imagine investing in Minecraft before it sold 300 million copies. That’s the kind of ground-floor access Mintplay gives you.
Mintplay bridges the world of traditional indie game crowdfunding (Kickstarter-style) with Web3-powered liquidity and upside. Players and investors can now fund indie games and trade their position as the game gains traction, something that has never existed before in gaming.
🚀 Why This Hits Different
✅ We're not starting from zero — Mintplay is merging with Graffiti Games, an 8-year-old publisher with $1M+ annual revenue and 20+ titles shipped across Steam / Switch / PlayStation / Xbox, bringing strong gaming credibility and track record to the deal.
✅ Massive market tailwind – Games now generate more revenue than music + movies combined, yet early access to game upside has been closed to retail investors… until now.
✅ New model, already validated – We’ve received strong validation and active partnership interest from:
Solana Foundation
Solana Gaming
OpenSea
Ava Labs
(plus others we can share under NDA)
📈 Current Round Details
Raise: $1M seed via SAFE @ $10M post-money
Use of funds: Platform build, early-stage game funding, go-to-market
Target close: ~7–10 days (we’ll oversubscribe if needed, first-come priority)
🧠 Why Investors Are Leaning In
Clear path to platform liquidity (every funded game = new token economy)
Publisher merger de-risks sourcing & deal flow
First-of-its-kind model in a $184B industry that has never opened investment access to the public
Strong alignment with Solana’s push into gaming & creator economy
Category-defining opportunity (“Kickstarter x Robinhood for Games”)

Best,
