Blockparty was originally founded in 2017 with a mission to utilize blockchain technology to create an NFT-powered ticketing system for music festivals and professional sporting events.
Since then, Blockparty has expanded its toolset to become the premiere platform for artists and musicians entering the NFT space by providing a wide range of options like customizable storefronts, accepting crypto or USD payments, and the ability to mint digital and physical artworks on Ethereum or eco-friendly FLOW with no gas fees.
Blockparty is led by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vladislav Ginzburg. Before entering the Blockchain and entertainment spaces, Ginzburg managed a fine art fund where he transacted more than $100 million in blue chip artworks. VP of Product, Jacqueline OβNeil, is the founder of the Blockchain Art Collective and has been in the space since 2017, along with Head of Marketing, Zaq McCollum, who spent 3 years at ConsenSys prior to joining Blockparty in 2021.
Blockparty launched their MVP in August 2020 with a number of successful drops, including the first digital artworks by Ryan Keeley, Harif Guzman and MadSteez; the first 3lau/Slime Sunday drop, Adventure Club, and others. Since then theyβve featured artists like Defaced and Dave Krugman, partnered with brands like Atari, Christieβs and NFTNow, and hosted one of the largest photography drops to date with Aimos, who sold his photo of XXXTentacion, the second most-liked post in Instagram history, for $125,000 last year.
Blockparty has raised a $3m seed round to date with investors such as Animoca Brands.
Blockparty currently has over 500 registered creators and 11,000 registered collectors from 22 countries around the world.
