Abu Dhabi: Hub71-backed startup, GLEAC which manages a mentorship network to help people apply human skills through simulated work situations, has launched the world’s 1st utility NFT, “Lovely Humans”, allowing users one-on-one time with global industry experts for 5 hours.
A UNIQUE PROPOSITION
The winner of the bid will be able to use the time with the industry expert to gain work-related knowledge and advice, solve problems or even try to co-create a new project that can be monetized.
The knowledge gained from the discussion can also be minted into a utility NFT that could be co-owned by the buyer and the industry expert. The 1st round of bidding will include a group of 25 experts from industries including Fintech, Metaverse, Sustainability, Data, and others.
