Veople is one of our latest products developed at the Factory and now we need a Tech lead to build this business. 
🤑 So what is Veople ?
Today the connection between fans and their favourite characters or entertainment brands is owned and controlled by giant corporations. The entertainment business is a closed shop. The IPs are all pre-existing, and the fans are kept on the outside. New creators are forced to sell their soul to break in. 
Emerging technologies could change all that, but right now it seems like virtual beings and NFTs are being used as an opportunity for more corporate owned IP and for fans to be exploited.  They are missing the point!
👀 The Vision
Veople is a platform that will democratise the creation of virtual beings and content, and share the value of success with the audience. To do this we will start by launching our own IPs and gradually open it up to all.
🧑‍💻The Role
We are looking for a developer that can help us build a simple app-based ‘studio’ platform that will allow anyone to broadcast themselves as a virtual being using their camera enabled devices. The application needs to be written from scratch and I am looking for proposals from candidates about the best approach. We also need your support on technical solutions around generating and minting the character assets that will be the stars of this platform!
💪You will be responsible for prioritising the three areas of focus below: 
We will launch a set of 5,000 virtual beings as NFTs based on procedurally generated permutations of a single character.  We will launch the tool that will be used to ‘broadcast’ as this character and build a simple community around them. 
The goal is to use third party tools and applications as much as possible. For example we think the community aspect could be fulfilled using Discord versus anything more bespoke.
There are 3 components that need building/exploring.
1. Developing and building the Studio Platform
What we want to do:
We want to build an easy-to-use native application that will eventually be rolled out on all mobile and desktop devices, however iOS is the focus for the MVP. Using this tool users will be able to add their virtual being (purchased / issued as an NFT) and use their phone/webcam to puppeteer the character in a simple virtual environment. The platform should also have simple features that will allow them to export video or to initiate a call/chat with a friend using their character.
What we need from you:
To lead the development and build of this project, finding and recommending the best third party tools, realising the UX vision in an elegant solution that works brilliantly. To think about all of the technical challenges of the build end to end for the MVP and subsequent updates.
2. PROCEDURALLY GENERATING ASSETS
What we want to do:
We want a way to procedurally generate a large number of versions of one character. That character should exist as a still image (like the most common NFTs) as well as a file that can be uploaded onto the Studio Platform mentioned above (our USP)
What we need from you:
Research and explore options, make recommendations, scope the best solution, and help execute/ bring in specialists where required.

3. NFT &amp; BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
What we want to do:
We want each of the virtual being variations to be minted as an NFT to be claimed / made available for sale. There is a growing ecosystem of services that we must make choices around.  There are also likely to be some specific   challenges we will need to overcome and bespoke requirements we need solutions for e.g. The minting process, gas fees, use of smart contracts etc.
What we need from you:
To actively support the process to research and explore options, make recommendations, scope the best solution, and help execute and/or bring in specialists where required.

BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM (OR SOUTH WEST AREA WITH TRAVEL TO BRISTOL)PART TIME, MOVING TO FULL-TIME IN 2023 
Founders Factory was launched in 2015 with a mission to power founders to go further, faster. To date we have built more than 60 startups and invested in a further 150 across offices in London, Johannesburg and New York. FF has a team of over 100 full-time operators and its portfolio has raised more than $600m in capital.
In our studio, we partner up with our corporate backers to create entirely new venture-backable concepts from scratch, always bringing an unfair advantage. 
Once investment is released into a concept, we start looking for promising and passionate team members to turn the concept into an MVP and ultimately spin out into a fully-fledged business.
