Tech entrepreneur Solo Ceesay talked to Boardroom about taking over as CEO of the Web3 social media app he launched with Spencer Dinwiddie.

We live in a bustling creator economy amid Web3 expansion, and Solo Ceesay wants to help those creators monetize their experiences.

Ceesay, an entrepreneur and former athlete, is the co-founder and CEO of Calaxy, a Web3 social media app for creators. The company’s flagship platform lets users search for their favorite creators, buy tokens, and unlock special perks. Ceesay launched Calaxy with Dallas Mavericks guard  Spencer Dinwiddie in 2020.

“Calaxy’s mission is to try to be the Web3-equivalent of a Cameo or Patreon,” Ceesay said, “We want creators to be able to better connect with their fans and monetize their experiences instead of relying on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram to create monetization tools.”
