Boys Club: A Social Collective - Deana Burke and Natasha Hoskins

On this episode of Building at the Edges we sit down with Deana Burke and Natasha Hoskins, co-founders of Boys Club, a social collective bringing new voices to the internet. We break down the structure of Boys Club, how the DAO fits into the larger brand, how the brand can become profitable, and their choice to focus on building the media business first. We discuss bootstrapping vs. venture funding, community growth vs. audience growth, and we have a really interesting conversation on how the belief in a brand is what makes a brand valuable.   FOLLOW US Jess: https://twitter.com/jessewldn  Seed Club: https://twitter.com/seedclubhq  Deana: https://twitter.com/medeana  Natasha: https://twitter.com/natashaghoskins  Boys Club: https://twitter.com/boysclubworld    LINKS https://www.seedclub.xyz/  https://www.boysclub.vip/newsletter    TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro  0:41 Boys Club 4:55 Is Boys Club a DAO? 11:27 Turning Boys Club into a business 22:44 Bootstrapping vs. venture funding 31:18 Belief in a brand 37:26 The Boys Club zine 38:55 Community growth vs. audience growth 40:34 DIMES 42:28 Outro   DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
