S2 Ep2: Transitioning from Web2 to Web3 with Catherine Hinderman
Kamilah and Nova chat about their transitions from web2 to web3. They talk about getting into tech and organizations focused on technology that helped them move to this new evolution of the internet.
Nova talks about having one foot in web2 and the other in web3. Yet over time, Nova’s found herself becoming more and more part of the metaverse and web3 movement.
Transitioning from Web3 to Web3
This week’s guest is Catherine Hinderman. She joins Kamilah and Nova from India (a 10.5-hour time difference). Catherine is originally from Sweden, educated in the US, and is working on a new luxury brand in India, where she is CEO and co-founder of Gaia-Amore.
Catherine was in a tech accelerator when she saw how gaming was involved in the tech – but should be similarly available to artisans. Gaia-Amore is focused on creating a hybrid between physical luxury and digital luxury. They also provide a means for artisans with less education - but a tremendous amount of culture and skill - to reach a new and larger audience and expand their exposure, too.
Catherine had to wrap her head around NFTs when she first encountered them – but then she understood their benefit as a creative product that holds value.
When asked how the metaverse will impact eCommerce, Catherine says this is only the beginning. Brands have to innovate to compete, and Gen Z has been digitized more or less all their lives – so they’re likely to drive this.
How do you get customers into Web3 and all that’s there?
Catherine shares multiple resources for learning more – starting with LinkedIn.
Nova, Catherine, and Kamilah talk about how web3 and the metaverse are not scary.
People like Nova, Catherine, and Kamilah stand between these two worlds and can help people transition between them.
