🔥 REWARDS 🔥

The first CPG Rewards raffles are scheduled for next week! Each member who has connected their wallet and entered their profile information into the CPG rewards system will be automatically entered for a chance to win one of five Friendship Bracelets, the collaborative project from Art Blocks and generative artist Alexis André, creator of Navette.

Your chance of winning is related to your level of rewards points. Here’s a closer look at the mechanics:

First, three separate raffles will take place:

1. Two bracelets will be raffled to those under Level 10.

2. Two bracelets will be raffled to those at or above Level 10.

3. The last one of the five bracelets will be raffled among a small list of members who have been regular contributors in Telegram since the Navette launch.

Second, each level grants you one entry into the raffle applicable to you. For example, if you are at Level 3 you will receive three entries into the first raffle. If you are at Level 10, you will receive 10 entries into the second raffle.

Important note about eligibility: You must have a Twitter and Telegram handle included in your Rewards profile. This helps facilitate contacting winners and sending prizes. You have until Sunday, March 19 at 11:59 pm UTC (4:59pm PT and 7:59pm ET) to update your profiles before the snapshot occurs.

The raffle will take place on Monday at 4 pm UTC (9am PT, noon ET). Please find additional details and answers to questions in Telegram.

Best of luck, everyone. This is the first of many rewards to come.

CPG Accelerator

It was a productive week for the CPG Accelerator. A highlight was Thursday’s Community Cafe with host Gregarious Narain, where builders had a chance to have their questions personally addressed. Founder Chris Cantino made a surprise visit and stayed to offer seasoned advice from his years of startup experience. Here’s a clip.

Also, in Telegram—some alpha for those of you who may not have access—program lead Raffaela Rein delivered important advice: “You can find great inspiration by looking at pitch decks from famous startups who went on to raise $$$, for example here or here.”

Finally, we have established an official Twitter list comprised of all CPG Accelerator participants and their businesses.
