01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Niftify was an NFT platform that launched in October 2021 as a marketplace for digital art, differentiating itself by verifying all buyers and sellers for safe, compliant trading. It quickly pivoted in January 2022 toward brands and companies, launching a white-label solution that let anyone run their own NFT store or marketplace on their own domain — positioned as 'Shopify for NFTs,' with built-in regulation and compliance. Co-founded by Emil Sterndorff, the company raised half a million dollars in its first week.
