# Core Values

**Cultivate Connection**

Foster is on a mission to connect the world in a shared art experience. Our ecosystem and social platform channels serve to connect creators, builders, designers, collectors, and investors of digital art.

**Innovate with Creativity**

NFTs should not solely exist as a speculative asset, they should also serve a purpose that provides tangible value for both the creator and the collector. Foster enables creators to leverage NFTs to offer gated access and experiences that empower them to build an engaged community.

**Promote Talent**

Artists are the heartbeat of human experiences, and their creations deserve to be seen by the world. As a platform that supports creators of all mediums, Foster aims to set a new standard in the ways in which creative talent is promoted and celebrated.
