⚠️ Less

By now it’s an overused cliché: “Data is the new oil”. Anybody who works with strong collections of data knows that the value of data is tremendous, but it is anything but a homogeneous commodity. Getting the most out of existing data assets is a complex, demanding task. Less makes data-driven insights people-friendly.

Less is a data analytics tool that helps you get to insights fast. Instantly pull in structured data, store it without ever configuring databases and create answers without ever touching code.

⚠️ Temple

"I'm a fan."

Those three simple words seem to tell it all when describing your level of interest in a particular thing. It could span from a reaction to a new latte at your local coffee shop, interest in a sneaker brand or your affiliation to a sports team.

With the rise of web3 and blockchain technology, people are able to leverage their passions so much more because of nonfungible and uniquely-IDed items. They're able to assign ownership and economic incentive to passion through items, status, engagement, creation, collections and more, all on the blockchain where that ownership is viewable to the masses and can't be disputed.

Temple is a web3 powered audience management, engagement and loyalty platform that allows creators to track and reward their fans across multiple platforms.

Temple lets artists and creators create a 'token-gated membership platform' - enabling them to seamlessly reward their token holders with exclusive perks - such as access to private Discord servers, virtual meet and greets, live streams, early access and so much more. Temple is like Patreon -- re-imagined for the web3 age.
