Hi everyone, trying out a new format with substack... to make things look a bit more professional [lol].

You don't ever need to pay or insert your email, just ignore if it asks you. Oh and also I won't be making a personal token 💩

Today diving into:
💵 How raising the next round has been getting harder
🙏 The evolution of ICO/IEO and how it now requires more downside protection
😮 NuCypher's numbers on valuation boost. Spoiler: need 200,000 ETH
⭕️ UMA's model leaving people stuck at break-even

Let's discuss it over a bear in the chat!
Lobsters Research The next round must be priced higher! "Evolution" of token raises. NuCypher's WorkLock & UMA. It is getting really hard for token projects to raise next rounds at higher valuations. This is also a problem for older projects that are now trying to go liquid. What to do?
