I run my community in a similar way. If you can continue to create meaningful content, a paid newsletter approach is the fastest way to go, and if you feel that participants are getting something out of joining the group, you can design a simple BM by requiring them to sign up for a membership, such as a flat monthly fee. Later, you can create a community site or feature product.

Thanks. We recently launched an NFT- https://opensea.io/collection/1001pirates

This does not convey confidence or seriousness at all.

What's the value prop for founders and for investors? Is it strategy, funding, sales, something else?

Check out other similar networks. I was part of Founders Network for a while. See what their business model looks like to get a sense of what the market will bear (I think it's hundreds a year, plus more for events). And consider taking a very different approach, since the world is a very different place than when they launched over a decade ago.
