How to Invest in Web3 Startups on OnlyFounders
Early-stage investing is no longer limited to venture capital. On OnlyFounders, anyone with a wallet can discover, evaluate, and fund real Web3 projects. You get one dashboard to manage your entire portfolio and receive NFT-backed proof tied directly to your onchain identity.
Here is how to get started in 5 clear steps.
Step 1: Log In and Set Up Your Investor Profile
• Visit OnlyFounders
• Connect your wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, or any supported provider)
• Complete your investor profile with basic information
Your profile is required before you can invest. It gives founders context on who you are, what your interests are, and what kind of support or capital you might bring.
Step 2: Browse Campaigns
Go to the Campaigns tab from the top navigation. You will see:
• Active, pending, and completed campaigns
• Filters by sector, blockchain, category, or traction
• Direct signals of proof: completed milestones, community size, audit status
Find a project aligned with your thesis — whether that is DeFi infrastructure, creator tooling, AI agents, or new primitives for identity.
Step 3: Review the Campaign Details
Before you allocate capital, each campaign provides full visibility:
• What the project is building
• All public URLs: whitepaper, site, GitHub, social media
• Current traction: waitlist signups, community metrics, strategic partners
• Verification status: KYC, smart contract audits, team doxxing
• Milestones: detailed deliverables the founder is committing to
OnlyFounders also applies automated AI analysis for additional context and signals of reliability.
Step 4: Invest Onchain with Proof
Once you are confident, click Invest Now on the campaign.
• Input your allocation amount in USDC
• Agree to the terms
• Submit your transaction directly from your wallet
You receive an NFT as an immutable receipt. This NFT is tied to your wallet and to the specific campaign. It is proof of your investment and is recorded onchain.
Step 5: Monitor Progress and Activity
Inside your dashboard, you can:
• Track milestone completion in real time
• Receive updates from founders on progress
• View how your capital is being deployed based on execution
• Interact or follow campaigns you’ve backed
Your investments are no longer blind. The system is structured to show delivery, not just ambition.
