As the steward of Metapurse, Twobadour is tasked with identifying NFTs and NFT-based enterprises ahead of their time. He is a raconteur of metaverse phenomena and collector of fine crypto art. He was the executive producer of the B.20 project, a $2.7 mn metaverse experiment, and architect of a range of initiatives designed to nurture the creator economy in the NFT industry.
