Weld Recruiting: Women In Web3

Robert Graham is a Co-Founder of Afterparty, alongside David Fields, Eytan Elbaz, and Dan Rahmel. With experience from Disney, Intuit, Google, and Paradigm Talent Agency, the four co-founders created a blockchain company that gives creators in Web3 the tools to connect with their fans in a new and exciting way. Notable angel investors for the all-in-one event ticketer and organizer include Paris Hilton, "Project Runway" executive producer Desiree Gruber, and Nicole Farb of VC firm Headline.
Robert moved to LA about 11 years ago and jumped right into the entertainment industry. After realizing he didn’t want to work at a big agency, he started his own talent management and influencer marketing agency, VAMPPED, where he represented major influencers to work with brands like Harley Davidson, Shangri-La Hotels, Puma, Under Armour, L'Oreal Paris, Casamigos Tequila + more.
Robert's foray into crypto began with buying Bitcoin back in 2016. Today, he's a big supporter of women in the Web3 space, and is bullish on building community and technology for the creator economy. Robert joins the Women in Web3 podcast to talk about:
- How his journey into crypto and Web3 began with reading whitepapers on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various blockchain protocols; - The NFT-based community of Afterparty that includes holders like Heidi Klum, Josh Duhamel, Sia, David Dobrik, Loren Gray and Bryce Hall; - Running the first-ever fully-gated NFT music and arts festival with headliners The Chainsmokers and rapper The Kid Laroi, as well as performances from Sofi Tukker, Gryffin, Charly Jordan + more; - What the future for Afterparty and Web3 creators looks like, and how you can apply to join.
