Last I checked he was making some weird app where you scan socks with cartoon characters on them to find out if they’re an officially licensed product or not. That was probably about 6 projects ago now though

Eegeez (pronounced "Iggies"). We're still not entirely certain what it's supposed to do.

It’s quite simple, straightforward, and unambiguous actually, here’s a copy-n-paste from the website:

quote:

Egeez (cough) is the world’s 1st licensing marketplace to protect the studios
See? Simple!

Yes, the “(cough)” is originally in there, which I choose to interpret in the funniest way which is that Nathen created all the text with voice transcription.

Yes but WHY is this needed? Big companies like disney don't need Nathen as a middleman to sell merch. They already have licensing agreements with distributors. Who are you selling this to? Distributors and big licensees don't need this poo poo either. They aren't going to use some tiny web app for this sort of thing and it's not like Disney just licenses Mickey Mouse out to some dude who wants to sell stuffed animals or w/e.

Also jfc Nathen:

quote:

Always lowest prices for licensed stuff, Phucket, I'm buying from Egeez. It's not like there's anywhere else to buy from.

"Phucket" indeed.
It's essentially a marketplace for people who already hold IP licenses and in the small print somewhere, Nathen says he won't help you negotiate a license. It's just a marketplace you can use to sell your licensed brand merch. All Nathen is doing is A) Verifying that you (the seller) have a valid license and B) providing you with e-commerce poo poo you probably already have a better version of elsewhere.

This can't be a huge market. I still don't understand who the target audience is for this. It sorta makes sense from a consumer point of view for that extremely small subset of people who absolutely do not want knockoff Mickey dolls, but those people are going to go straight to one of Disney's online retail partners and not gently caress around with some app. The ONLY way this would make sense is if Eegeez was partnered with the actual license holders and lmao that will never ever happen.

This came in at the tail end of the last thread, but for a very small window of time there was a website linked from Nathen's main website called "Clean Label Product" and this was the "Board" tab on that page:



The site has since been taken down and all references to it have been scrubbed. I will ask again though, what is Nathen doing with his hands?
E: Site was https://www.cleanlabelproduct.com/

It usually means like it wasn't made with animal products. Like vegan leather=faux leather.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
vegan leather is the dumbest and most amazing pr rebranding stunt ever. it’s loving plastic. and if you buy one of those fancy bio alternatives like pressed mycelia they specifically call it mushroom leather or whatever so it’s always just plastic.

I don’t know how anybody can be confused; the value proposition of Egeez is crystal clear

quote:

Egeez App is a tech-driven and entergaging Quick Mobile Licensing (QML) marketplace for licensed products intelligently geo-located according to licensed territories granted by top Hollywood studios to licensees to help boost maximum merch visibility.

Egeez protects both - fans from
counterfeits merch and licensors from
trademark infringements.

The blue focus is to build a magical
trusted place for verified licensed
products worldwide.

Are you saying you don’t want to be blue focused on a magical trusted place for verified licensed products worldwide???

kind of, the shelter was always there. it was in-between the subway exit + his store and a lot of people hung out outside of it when there wasn't space inside. at some point his brain cell decided this was depressing and/or bad for business and suggested physical makeovers for the residents. saintly, no doubt.

Egeez pronounced "Iggies" but like, his slogan for it is "Oh Geez, Iggies" which makes no sense because "Oh geez, it's Eegeez" is right fuckin' there. Nothing he does makes sense.
