We're building the public infrastructure for Web3 startup funding

OnlyFounders is live, growing, and raising.

We're building the protocol layer for startup funding — trustless, transparent, and milestone-driven. Founders prove progress. Investors follow the signal. Retail gets real access without predatory mechanics. Every participant sees what’s happening in real-time.



No inflated fees. No gatekeeping. No insider flips. This is what fundraising should look like in Web3: clean, open, performance-driven.


April Product and Platform Progress

Platform


  • Campaign publishing is live and in use.

  • Partner and investor directories have been launched and are expanding.

  • Admin dashboard built for platform-wide transparency.

  • Founders, partners, and investors are now onboarding directly in-product.



Reputation + Signal


  • Milestone logic powering raise-based unlocks.

  • OF Points + proof-of-execution system now live.

  • Quest mechanics built to track on-chain and off-chain work.

  • Founder progress indexed and verifiable by all stakeholders.



Network and Growth


  • 110+ founders pre-onboarded across multiple verticals.

  • Community reach surpassed 3,000 users.

  • Ecosystem integrations live with Open Campus, HackQuest, and EDU Chain.

  • Cold inbound from funds, DAOs, accelerators, and media.

  • Listed on Crunchbase for investor visibility and discovery.

  • Participating in active grant programs across multiple chains.

  • Joint venture underway to bring thousands of devs into targeted ecosystems.

  • Partnership with DcodeBlock offering early-stage startups vetted interns and dev squads, cutting production time and costs by up to 80 percent.



The Problem We're Solving

The current fundraising system for Web3 startups is broken. Launchpads promise exposure but extract up to 20% in fees and token allocation. VCs gatekeep early access. Retail ends up as exit liquidity. There's zero transparency once funds are raised. And nobody is held accountable after the raise.

OnlyFounders fixes that.


  • No listing fees.

  • No backroom private deals.

  • No token inflation to feed middlemen.

  • No hype cycles that reward short-term noise.


Instead, founders raise with proof. Investors track execution. Retail gets aligned entry points. The system works because the incentives are designed to protect all participants, not exploit the weakest one.

This isn't just a platform. It's infrastructure is designed to scale funding across verticals, geographies, and experience levels without ever needing a warm intro or insider connection.


Who This Is Built For

Founders

You own your raise. You keep your tokens. You build in public. We give you infrastructure to showcase traction, access aligned backers, and avoid toxic short-term capital.


Investors (Angels, Funds, DAOs, Syndicates)

You follow proof, not pitch decks. Back startups earlier, with better information, cleaner terms, and on-chain reputation to verify momentum. No hidden terms. No manipulated data.


Retail Participants

You no longer fund the exit. Instead, you get milestone-based access to real startup growth. Aligned incentives and tiered access based on founder traction and execution.


Partners, Accelerators, Dev Ecosystems

Plug in at the earliest stages. Source real builders. Offer services to startups with verified signals. And now, through our DcodeBlock partnership, deploy developer interns into startups while cutting dev cycles and burn dramatically.


Angel Round Is Open

We’re raising a strategic angel round to scale access, tooling, and cross-ecosystem integration. This isn’t about runway. It’s about bringing the right capital into the stack.


Soft Commitments: $80,000


Target: $250,000


Structure: SAFE + token warrants (future distribution model)

Ideal for operators, early-stage backers, Web3 funds, and angels who understand marketplace dynamics, Web3 infra, or creator tool ecosystems.


Deck, metrics, and data room Access upon request.



What's Next


  • Founder campaigns begin going live publicly

  • Verified investor onboarding opens

  • Milestone-based funding rounds roll out

  • Reputation systems tied to on-chain identity and actions

  • Access tiers unlock based on OF Points + execution

  • Cross-partner dev funnels activated

  • Grants, co-marketing and co-launches with L1/L2 partners

  • First liquidity experiments using milestone-based token unlocks

OnlyFounders is the infrastructure play retail and VCs have been waiting for and the platform founders have needed for years.



We're building where others gatekeep. If you're a founder looking to raise, a fund that backs early, or an ecosystem looking to reach real builders and now's the time to get in.
