Official Launch of Sndbox : A Steemit Incubator For Creatives and Entrepreneurs
Fellow Steemians!
Today marks the official launch of @sndbox (pronounced “sandbox”) - an incubator project dedicated towards bringing STEEM to the professional practice of creatives and entrepreneurs in New York City and beyond. We are @hansikhouse and @voronoi - of @hitheryon - the team behind STEEM Park.
Our Mission
At Sndbox, our mission is to build a digital (online) and physical (offline) creative community through the power of Steemit and the STEEM blockchain.
- Recruit : Onboard super talented creatives and entrepreneurs who are entirely new to Steemit and cryptocurrency as a whole.
- Coach : Over time, we’ll help these minnows become dolphins. Sndbox will reward strong content and provide supportive feedback. Coaching is critical to retain talented Steemit contributors and help them engage their audience.
- Empower : Our team is developing an incubator that creatives can harness to empower their craft both professionally and financially. We believe that interdisciplinary practice paired with emerging technology can revolutionize growth and independence for the 21st century professional.
A Physical Playground for Steemians to Co-Create
We’re excited to announce that Sndbox is going to develop into a real space - a physical co-workspace right here in New York City - where we will introduce new users to Steemit and STEEM, blockchain, host meetups and collaborative workshops. This experimental and flagship workspace will be an incubator where Steemians (and not-yet Steemians) can rent a desk and attend workshops in exchange for SBD (Steem Dollars).
Our goal is to create a supportive environment where an artist, architect, musician, curator, educator, entrepreneur, non-profit, or community organizer can explore, innovate and play all while being rewarded for sharing their craft.
We believe Steemit needs more physical resources where users can build relationships with potential new members. Our project STEEM Park was just the beginning of cryptocurrency becoming a physical fixture in our real life communities. Our team is dedicated to spearheading this effort in New York City and beyond!
A Brave New World
Communication is the key to growth. This brave new world of cryptocurrency can be a challenging one to digest! As a social media platform, we (all of us on Steemit) need to continuously discover and invent new ways of breaking down those challenges for the benefit of the average Steemain. On Steemit in particular, new users are flooded with supportive comments on their first “introduceyourself” post, but rarely receive sustained rewards or engagement on the second or third post.
Sndbox will provide continued support of talented new Steemians through upvotes, direct feedback and promotional content published on the @sndbox page.
Good for Steemit
@Sndbox is an incubator network (online) and a physical space (in Brooklyn, NY). We have a team - now dedicated full-time - towards recruiting and onboarding super-talented creative professionals to Steemit and empowering their practices. These Sndbox Steemians are entirely new to the world of cryptocurrency and @sndbox will be a comprehensive resource for learning about how to leverage the emerging world of crypto to support their ambitions.
As we develop Sndbox, we’ll be sharing everything with the Steemit public - programs, activities, info-graphics, onboarding resources, data, etc. - to be 100% transparent and get as much feedback as possible. This is a completely new journey for us (well, Steemit overall is a super new experience that we all share) and we want to be as best integrated with the diverse efforts within the platform as we can.

So there you have it, we’re excited to get Sndbox off the ground. Let us know your thoughts and ideas. We’re all in this together. STEEM on!
Absolutely amazing! I love your idea and what you are planning to do for the steemit platform and its members. There are many people that I have been following that are doing amazing things for the community and you are being one of them. The projects that can be build using steemit platform are endless and that is what will take this platform beyond the social media network in the years to come. Attaining and helping talented people that will help to create the success story for steemit is just brilliant idea. I wish you the best of luck and will give you a full support by following you and checking your projects and successes!
One such project that I came accross last week is #SteemBnB which is AirBnB for steemians where steemit users can offer their extra room or property in return for steem. What an amazing idea! Projects like this are making me to like steemit more and more! The best of luck guys!
Thank you so much @czechglobalhosts! We're right there with you and believe so many projects and products can be made with and within this technology. We hope you'll follow our content closely and offer tips/feedback!
I will be definitely watching you and help you out as much as I can to upvote and resteem the best of your thoughts!
As always, I love how you two think about the power and potential of humans, of creativity and steemit! My initial thoughts are how "right" this is on so many levels since YES new steemians need tons of support and it does take an intentional and cohesive effort for it to be effective, and YES we all need actual physical ways to connect and direct our efforts collaboratively. Very exciting to ponder the possibilities.... Then of course I'm wondering how can I best contribute and how to engage given who I am and where I am. I'm interested and curious!
YES. 100% on all levels @natureofbeing! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support on this! We'll be sharing the first round of Sndbox members on Wednesday. As a first step... I'm sure they would benefit tremendously from your advice as a seasoned and successful Steemian! Much more to come this week. Onwards and upwards!
happy to offer advice and whatever else I can. like to brainstorm about what kind of support you guys need in your efforts....

Nice! I like the open-communication of this project, there's even a schedule to boot lol. Lemme know how I can be part of this and contribute, being halfway around the globe!
Absolutely, thanks @kevingwong for the support! For now, it would be awesome if you could sign up for our curation trail as we build momentum! We'll definitely be presenting more ways for fellow Steemians to be involved in the coming weeks.
Streemian is broken at the moment, for me at least. I'd need to find a better way to trail votes now
It's back up and running ;)
