Community Lead

Falling in love with the fast-paced and innovative nature of the NFT and Crypto space in late 2021, I decided to dive head first into freelance work of startup projects. I have passions in the space surrounding community engagement, business development and discord management/security. There is endless opportunity presenting itself everyday.

Key Achievements;
- Community management of 90,000+ members in the run up to an NFT mint generating 2M+ in revenue.
- Leading multiple teams of between 2-12 community moderators. 
- Community management for a 10,000 strong discord server with a focus on education equality.
- Discord security auditing + building for 8 incredible Web3 projects.
- Intrepreneurial role for a well established Web3 company looking to take their company in a fresh direction.

Sprout

Sprout is a marketing company that specialises in twitter content management and brand strategy. On a short term "getting the business started" contract, I had the pleasure of working alongside another young entrepreneur to build this company from the ground up. In my short time working on this project, we created the sprout brand, business strategy, core team and started generating some incredible results for our first clients. The founder, James, has since worked with over 10 incredible clients & partners, ranging from small startups to half-a-billion-dollar unicorns in the space.

Co-Founder - Business Development + Recruiting

After my decision to leave university, my endless hunger for learning about the complex and everchanging nature of business has propelled me into the world of Web3. Since starting in this space, I've had the privilege of starting 3 companies, one of which still operates to this day without my input. I

Now - after years as an entrepreneur, my goal is to further enhance my skills as part of an established team. I'd like to contribute to the growth of a company that isn't my own - learning from my peers and bringing my unique set of skills to the table.

On a personal level, I'm on a journey of understanding (as many of us are) - trying to figure out what makes ME tick through trying my hand at many different things. After the close of Tru3Mint, I traveled around the world for 6 months, meeting some amazing people and seeing our beautiful planet.

Now, i'm back home for the foreseeable future and taking some time to venture towards my mental and physical limits, learning about how far I can go. My current obsession, after years of training in the gym, is endurance events. I've never been good at running, so decided to push myself into the unknown by signing up for a marathon this September. After that, who knows what's next? Ironman?

If you've read this far, I am always in awe of the other humans that walk this earth alongside me and love a good chat, so please feel free to reach out. 

Cheers,
Jacob!
