Mintoo Mid-Year Review: Key Wins in 2023
What key partnerships, product launches, or strategic decisions would you consider as your organization’s significant wins in the first half of 2023?
We at Mintoo are so proud of so many things. We came out of the gate running, with the launch of Mintoo Beta at the end of March of this year. From the Artist Series, which featured a diverse and extremely talented group of local artists, to Walang Katulad, an NFT Collection by Filipinas NFT, we are continually amazed at the breadth of talent found in our archipelago and make it part of our mission to empower these amazing artists.

Aside from making an impact in the art scene, the Mintoo team is proud to have showcased the widening use of NFTs or Digital Collectibles, through our strategic partnership with Newport World Resorts (formerly known as Resorts World Manila) in selling special-edition Ang Huling El Bimbo Musical Digital Collectibles that simultaneously act as tickets to the Musical itself.

Addressing Challenges: Mintoo Adaptive Strategies
What were the primary challenges your organization faced during the first half of 2023, and how did you address them?
The main challenge that the Mintoo team faced was mostly an issue of focus.
Because we built the Mintoo platform to be a general-purpose piece of technology, the possibility-space was vast in terms of different projects, and yet the team faced reality-inducing constraints, such as the scarcity of time and attention. It helped that the Mintoo team is supported by a strong leadership team that is conscious about strategy.
