Iris Founder
The inspiration for creating this fund stems from the founder, Mark's past experiences. He started a business at the age of 13, facing criticism and hardship solely based on his age. Many doubted him, saying, "You can't do this at 13," or "It's impossible because you might make mistakes." They judged Mark solely based on his age, without acknowledging his skills.
However, Mark is not alone in experiencing such discrimination. Many individuals from minority groups face criticism based on age, gender, or other factors. Therefore, Mark initiated this project to prevent as many people as possible from undergoing similar experiences.
Mark has been conducting similar activities for about two years through Web3, supporting young people for projects aimed at overseas audiences. Last year, we've launched first NFT project, Teenage Innovators, to raise the fund and support the young artists.
