Funding Request:
We kindly request a sponsorship of $150,000 from the Cardano Catalyst Fund 10 to support the main stage of Rare Evo 2024. The allocated funds will be utilized for the following purposes:
Main Stage Setup:
The sponsorship will cover the costs associated with designing, constructing, and furnishing an impressive main stage that reflects the professional environment expected at Rare Evo. This will create an engaging and visually captivating space for speakers, panelists, and performers to deliver their presentations.
Audio and Visuals:
The requested funds will enable us to acquire state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment, including lighting, sound systems, screens, and cameras. These high-quality resources will ensure exceptional production standards for live presentations, panel discussions, and performances on the main stage.
Live Streaming Infrastructure:
We recognize the importance of extending the reach of Rare Evo beyond the physical event space. Therefore, a portion of the sponsorship will be allocated to establish a robust live streaming infrastructure. This includes hiring professional streaming services, setting up dedicated internet connections, and managing the technical aspects of the live stream. By enabling remote viewership, we aim to engage a wider global audience and maximize the event's impact.
Previous Success and Accountability:
Rare Network's partnership with Catalyst fund 9 resulted in outstanding outcomes. As part of our commitment to transparency, we ensured that Catalyst received extensive advertising on our main stage live stream, which attracted approximately 30,000 viewers. Additionally, live promotions at the event further enhanced Catalyst's visibility and recognition within the Cardano community. We diligently documented all expenses related to the sponsorship and provided comprehensive video documentation of the event and its Catalyst-supported outcomes. We will continue this practice, offering a transparent report that showcases the impact of Catalyst support.
Expected Outcomes and Impact:
Sponsoring the main stage of Rare Evo 2024/25 will grant the Cardano Catalyst Fund substantial exposure and visibility to an estimated 30,000 event attendees and a broader online audience. This collaboration will reinforce the Cardano brand's commitment to fostering innovation and supporting integrations within the blockchain community.
Moreover, Rare Evo serves as a platform for developers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to connect and collaborate, leading to the creation of innovative products and integrations within the Cardano ecosystem.
