The Rare Team
The Rare Evo team originally created the Rare stake pool to get further involved in a blockchain network and begin marketing themselves. From there, they developed the brand identity and pool's general purpose forming a first-mover blockchain community event. After two successful events with top-down support from various leaders in the blockchain industry, Rare Network has advanced from a single stake pool to an event production company as well as a partner network.

The team includes:
- Wes Parkinson - Co-Founder/Partner Engagement
- Rand McHenry - Co-Founder/ Live Events Production
- Evan Fischer - Director of Operations
- Nathan Mantia - Account Manager[4]
