DAOLaunch: Decentralized VC NFTs

Problem (in detail)

The startup investment industry is largely led by Venture Capitalists and institutional investors who leverage their capital using great networks and connections as well as their brand, able to negotiate better investment conditions to make substantial ROI. The majority of those deals are conducted in a closed and private environment.

Retail investors don't typically have access to these kinds of deals. For example, if you invested in Coinbase seed round, there would have been 5000X ROI. By the time of listing, VC's have already made a substantial investment and token unlock schedules, often deterring smaller investors. Most recently, retail investors are more attracted to a democratic funding method, some Startups have considered the "Fairlaunch" funding method for that reason.

However, FairLaunch is actually not the most practical method to release a token, let alone fund a business. It's unreasonable to expect adoption from mass retail investors and for them to provide not only funding but also connections and marketing - a core part of what VCs provide today, which is often worth just as much as capital to a project. Now more than ever, a democratic and practical startup investment approach is demanded, to bring more competitiveness and innovation to the startup industry.

Our Solution

Our solution at DAOLaunch is to create an open and inclusive competitive environment - the Decentralized Venture Capital concept.

DAOLaunch offers retail investors preferential investment conditions depending on their investment performance recorded on the blockchain. Recorded investments are not editable, as all negotiations are all on-chain. DAOLaunch investors can brand themselves as Decentralized Venture Capitalists and much like traditional VCs, they can negotiate more favorable investment terms.

DAOLaunch aims to change the structure of shady behind-closed-door investment deals to an open and more competitive deal structure that takes place on the blockchain. This will drastically shake up the startup industry.
