Isaac Hayes III’s Post

🛎 This strikes a deep chord with me! The advantages of engaging in the No Backboard Basketball League—both in training and competition—are clear and intrinsic to the sport. 😍 A common initial reaction is, "You've got to be able to shoot!" 🏀 Indeed, the benefits are obvious, and all market trends point towards "let's go." 🔝 💸 There's increasing investment in youth sports, aiming to unify a fragmented multi-billion-dollar industry. 💰💰💰 💥 The Name, Image, and Likeness (#NIL) regulations are opening new avenues for business and personal growth for high school and college athletes. 🌎 🏀 Globally, basketball's popularity is on the rise, yet American players are facing increasing competition from international athletes at the high school, college, and professional levels within the United States. 📉 🏗 Basketball training facilities are becoming ubiquitous, with both franchises and independent gyms emerging nationwide. 🗽 Consider other sports like Arena Football, Indoor Football, 7v7, Flag Football, and A7FL, which are established or gaining traction. 🏈 🎾 ⚽ 🤔 😲 However, traditional funding sources and the investors I've discussed this with present significant "hurdles to capital," leaving me puzzled. So, investors, don't be dismissive—otherwise, you might just miss out on a substantial opportunity. #blackowndedbusiness #investing #venturecapital

🌟 Tuesday is the day! 🌟 What the heck is a kickstarter and why am i using it? Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that empowers creators to launch innovative products by connecting them directly with supporters to help raise funds to assist with manufacturing costs. Rather than getting a loan for 100% of the costs and maybe losing my shirt, backers get first chance at owning the product, and also help the people they believe in birth a dream Artists and entrepreneurs use it to share their visions, gather funding, and bring their ideas to life—all while building a community around their projects. It also helps us gauge interest in our product, and know whether we are chasing a pipe dream. For tarot decks, Kickstarter is especially powerful! It allows creators to showcase their unique designs and concepts, attract backers who resonate with their artistic style, and gauge interest before full production. This not only benefits the artist financially but also fosters a supportive network of tarot enthusiasts who share their passion. The process is simple: set a funding goal, present your project with captivating visuals and descriptions, and promote it to your audience. If you reach your goal within the campaign period, you receive the funds to create your product! If lots of people support the campaign, the kickstarter algorithm notices, and then emails out the campaign to a wide audience, potentially making it viral. I've been working on this project for 2 years. I really hope I can bring them to reality. If you've ever wanted to support me, this is a way... by a deck, keep it, give it away, share the campaign, show the love. With luck and a bit of fate, I can make this take off. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be launching my own tarot deck campaign on Kickstarter from October 29 to November 22! Join me on this journey and help bring my vision to life. Your support means the world! 💖✨ #Kickstarter #TarotDeck #SupportArtists #helpmebirthadream #indieartists

A social network governed by people. It’s not a myth or a wishful thinking. This is what we’re building, and it’s where we’re all headed, one way or another. The presale of our token is opening soon and here’s why it’s important. We’re all happy campers when we use platforms like YouTube and Instagram, but this contentment crumbles when the net keeps showing us targeted ads or videos we lost interest in long ago. This happens because it benefits the platform, not the users. That’s why the more funds we raise during our token presale or through crowdfunding, the more independent Blabberix will be in terms of content control. This way, big players won’t dictate terms during the development of the public version. If you want to support the project, you can purchase tokens and receive rewards starting from October 7th, 2024. Support Blabberix—support a social network built by the people, for the people.
