The first startup ever selling as collectible art - Y Combinator-backed & failing as big as we thought big.

We are the first startup to turn a failed business into collectible art because as they say "business is half art and half science". We got the second part of the quote wrong, but we nailed the first part.

onetool is a startup backed by famous Y Combinator which had the mission to think more than big and to make the impossible happen: to consolidate all 30K+ business apps out there like slack, GitHub, Gmail, etc. into one app-store for business software so companies can manage all their software in one place.

Needless to say that we couldn't make it but we found that we had created a great piece of art along the way: a product that is absolutely not working but had convinced many investors to join the mission. Now, we are entering onetool's last journey to immortality by converting this startup failure into an unforgettable piece of art.

This NFT includes the certificate of "the first startup ever sold as an NFT" as well as access to the most "valuable assets" of onetool in one, curated, piece of art:

  • Ownership Certificate of the first startup ever sold as an NFT
  • onetool word trademark document (28 EU countries + USA)
  • onetool logo and logomark
  • App Store (front-end & back-end; non-functional): Store to buy SaaS, API, App Store Provisioning Suite & Team Management
  • Provisioning and SaaS Management Suite (front-end & back-end; non-functional)
  • All code, database, repositories, and integrations API of the onetool products described above
  • Full documentation
  • SEO-optimized website content
  • App-store and provisioning suite figma files
  • Y Combinator application and video pitch

Why this reserve price? It equals USD 1.65M which is the money we spent on creating this beautifully crafted piece of art over the last two years. Of course, it doesn't reflect the value of all the sweat, tears, panic attacks, and sleepless nights we put into this.

Most people see startups as science. We see startups as art and like any good piece of art, we believe it has to be shared with the world. This NFT collection includes access to the most important assets of the onetool platform that changed the way people buy and manage their software tools.
