## About

In 2021, the founders purchased the NFT series Ape #1798 via secondary market, naming it as Jenkins the Valet, with a character story created with this transaction. The company later was established, with the idea to build up NFT avatars into character, and commercialize them. In 2022, the company created crowdsourcing novel that can feature NFTs with stories. In the same year, Jenkins the Valet signed contract with CAA, a talent agency. It also raised fund from investor Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from other new investors Connect Ventures, Dapper Labs Inc., Framework Ventures, Listen Ventures, Penny Jar Capital, WndrCo, Keen Crypto, Sterling VC and Dreamers Fund, and individual investors.

The company's business can be categorized into three -- charactering NFT, maintaining community, and offering NFT-related tools. Character wise, the company purchased Jenkins the Valet, Jenkins the Valet Mutant, and Good Boy. Community wise, it created the novel Board & Dangerous, metaverse community Azurbala, and audio book Jenkins Audio Experience. In terms of tools, it provides The Writer's Room and Web3 Reader.

The company plans to increase headcount in engineering, design, solidity and marketing department.
