“Adim” was co-founded by actor and filmmaker Rob McElhenney from the hit TV series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. Other co-founders include Chase Rosenblatt, Melissa Kaspers, Spencer Marell, and Richard Rosenblatt.
The project’s goal is to make it easier for writers and content creators to connect and collaborate whilst owning a greater share of the output. The team is planning to utilize a web3 model to build a community of storytellers that anyone can join and share in future royalties.
“Adim” recently raised $5 million in a seed round led by Chris Dixon, a general partner at a16z crypto – VC firm Andreessen Horowitz.
Those interested in the project can apply to become a member on the “Adim” website. If accepted they will have the chance to join the “Creator Rooms” to participate in workshops that’ll create stories, characters, and narrative universes under the mentorship of established writers like McElhenney.
One hundred applicants will be chosen initially and once a “Creator Room” has concluded, all participants will receive a “Core Character NFT” that details their ownership of what was created. The NFTs will be non-transferable as they will also grant the owner rights to royalties or revenue shares when projects use the characters.
