Users can effortlessly create and support new startups across all borders, and participate in transparent, flexible and fair financing round regardless of being a crypto or non-crypto startup. The problem The startup investment industry is largely lead by Venture capitalists and institutional investors, they can leverage their capital, using network 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 deter smaller investors. Most recently, retail Investors are more attracted to democratic funding method, some Startups have considered the "Fairlaunch" funding method for that reason. However, Fair Launch is not a 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, democratic and practical startup investment approach is demanded, to bring more competitiveness and innovation to startup industry. How will DAOLaunch solve this problem? Our solution at DAOLaunch is to offer an open and competitive environment - the Decentralized Venture Capital concept.

The tokens purchased through our Buy-Back automatically burn. We secure the best investment conditions for the Decentralized Venture Capital ecosystem through blockchain technologies. We are a pioneer in shaping a new market On DAOLaunch, you can mint decentralized venture capital NFTs (DVC-NFT), vote, and record the investment performance on blockchain, whilst negotiating better investment terms. DVC-NFTs also allows you to create your own token index portfolio as an NFT. Users can deposit their seed tokens in the contract like a VC entity on NFT. Trade/Lend VC portfolio on the NFT marketplace Create your VC portfolio as an NFT. Trade or lend your VC portfolio to earn capital or interest without losing ownership of it. Until now, the funds invested into startups could not be used effectively until the lockup period was over. But with the DVC-NFT, even when the token is locked you can make a profit by trading or lending the DVC-NFT itself. DAOLaunch aims to create a new market in the crypto decentralized finance economy.
