(Almost) everything we do is rooted in subcultures w/o easy access to capital. It gives us a clear edge and reason to exist. Abundant capital flows to VCs and charities, but only Nouns have the unique position to support subcultures. - What do you do? - We support subcultures - Subcultures? Cool, im part of a subcultures, maybe i should ask for a grant I think this framing can massively speed up our spread and reach. Tell your friend nouns supports subcultures and see them pass on the message. Its broad yet distinct. Animation shorts is a subculture. And toys, esports, and skiing.
