PROJECT OVERVIEW / WHY
The objective and inspiration for this project is the idea of exploring ways to proliferate Lil Noun branding and to reach out to non-crypto native users via lifestyle items thus; Lil Nounish potted plants were born.
Using 3D printing technology, pots will be designed in a nounish way that not only represent the brand but looks fun and functional. Lil nounish potted plants serve as a initiation, as the main goal is to create a series of Lil Nounish lifestyle items.

FURTHER INFORMATION
elle.elle#2046 on discord, if you’d like to DM and discuss more
woah these are awesome! unfortunately we could not guarantee a flower head lil noun because we have no control over which come in. But these are pretty cool
2 more Lil Nounish pot are currently in the midst of its design phase (70%), will provide more update once they are being conceptualised.
Understood the DAO have no control over which Lil Noun goes in, flower head would be preferred but am happy with any Lil Noun awarded. (They are all so cute!)
Hope am able to be awarded this Lil Grant. As mention, the larger goal/vision is to have a series of Lil Nounish lifestyle items starting with our Lil Nounish potted plants.
Hi @al409.eth hope you’re able to revisit this lil grant prop.
Appreciate if lil grant is able to support/kick off this initiative; have also submitted this under lil sister funds. If both are able to pass, we could extend the pop-up store duration spreading it across 2 weekends (Fri-Sun)
*Only require 1x retro funding of 0.5ETH + 1 lil noun regardless if prop pass under lil grant or lil sister or both.
Some updates: During the timeframe while lil grant is being re-funded, had explored more with locations and for this pop-up we will be targeting Maker’s Market, where the targeted audience are people who love items that are crafted instead of mass produced. The setting/atmosphere would also be more ideal to proliferate lil nouns in a nounish manner to onboard/spread lil nouns branding
On-hand I’ve 4-5 design already conceptualized. Will be able to execute and proceed into sample printing immediately once lil grant is received. Hope both lil grants + lil sister funds are able to support this initiative.
As this is a pilot, they will only be sold at the pop-up store for the initial phase.
The purpose of the pop-up store is to test market sentiment toward nounish products before looking to expand and eventually going online + worldwide shipping
To create a Lil Noun pop up store; to display and sale of Lil Nounish items. This pop-up store will focus on Lil Nounish potted plants as the main item.
What’s the biggest way this will benefit Lil Nouns DAO?
To proliferate Lil Noun branding via lifestyle items; to have Lil Noun branding reach out to a larger pool of audience that are non-crypto native.
What stage is the project in it’s lifecycle?
Conceptualizing / Ready to execute
What have you done so far? (if applicable, provide a link to a working demo)
5 Lil Nounish pots have been designed and conceptualize, ready for test printing.
Have also source for potential pop-up store location.
Ultimate plan would be to have a ecommerce store that provide a plethora of nounish items for all to purchase via a drop ship model. Initial key deliverables will be to keep manufacturing cost low while achieving sales to at least sustain the ecommerce platform.
What experience qualifies you to deliver on this project?
I’m a 3D designer who have at least 3 years of experience in product design, with at least 2 years of experience in project management/lead in a 3D design manufacturing company.
How much ETH are you asking for? Provide a cost breakdown.
Lil Nounish Pop-up Store (0.48ETH) - 3 days duration
Pop-up Store Operation (0.2ETH) - 3 days duration
Retro Funding (2x Lil Noun) - Product design + test printing
Production (0.8ETH) - 80 to 100 pots (Avg 20qty per design) + Succulent Plant + Packaging
Total = 1.48EHT ~ USD2370
**Considering ETH = USD1600 taken into account fluctuation
Will you require additional funding after this?
Yes. If the response from the pop-up store is favorable, would request funding for another round of pop-up, which we will introduce more items.
Have you received/requested funding for this idea elsewhere?
Have not received any other funding for this idea elsewhere.
