LGL’s flagship studio, House of Kibaa (“HoK“), previously announced a collaborative arrangement with Polygon Studios, the NFT, gaming and metaverse arm of Polygon (MATIC).
Nuseir Yassin is a vlogger who is most notable for creating “Nas Daily”, which was a project that included 1,000 one-minute videos uploaded daily to Facebook. In 2019, Mr. Yassin created a YouTube channel where he also began to upload his videos. In 2020, he created Nas Academy as a school for video creators and Nas Studios as a video production studio where he also created and released a series of podcasts.2 Nuseir continues to expand his social media presence, which has reached nearly 50 million followers in aggregate. He attended Harvard University and is passionate about creating videos and helping others do so as well.
Arjun Krishan Kalsy, Advisor to LGL, commented, “I’m honoured to join LGL’s Advisor Board at this exciting time for the Company. Its leadership team has moved with a clear focus and their work to date has raised the bar for the NFT community. I’m also looking forward to becoming an owner of a Pocket Dimension in HoK’s Project Origin metaverse shortly. The hyper realistic virtual world, with its amazing array of environments and unparalleled utility, is going to up the ante for the benefit of the community, once again, and I’m happy to strengthen the relationship between Polygon and LGL as part of that.”
Nuseir Yassin, Advisor to LGL, added, “I concur with Mr. Kalsy that joining LGL as an Advisor is a great opportunity with mutual benefits. LGL and HoK have taught me a lot about the future of Web3 and I just hope that I can at least return the favour in this new role. My following of almost 50 million people is going to love learning more about my Pocket Dimension as soon as it gets air-dropped to me after the land sale. Project Origin’s P2E gaming features, the NFT-to-avatar portal and other game-changing aspects of this metaverse are what people want, and I’m interested in helping to relay more of my audience’s feedback to help LGL develop new products and services in the future.”
Dorian Banks, Chief Executive Officer of LGL said, “We are excited and grateful to be able to add two such esteemed members to our advisory board. Arjun is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but his work at Polygon is also extremely impressive. Additionally, I expect that Nuseir’s large social media following, plus his knowledge in software development, will add tremendous value to the advisory board and the Company. LGL is always looking to broaden its horizons by working with and learning from the best people, which ultimately will help the Company provide better products services to our clients and customers.”
