Nimi | An award-winning startup at The University of Chicago’s center for entrepreneurship
A highlight at The University of Chicago’s center for entrepreneurship — to the extent UChicago decided to invest in the company, along with another 30 investors on 5 continents — Nimi is a culture tech startup dedicated to guiding cultural institutions through developing their digital collectible programs in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and selling them on its marketplace platform.
