## Content

Permissionless MetaDAO launches will lead to entirely different cultural primitives around fundraising.

1. Continuous Fundraising: It only takes a few days to fundraise so don't take more than you need

2. Liquidation Pivot: You built an MVP but didn't find product-market fit and now you have been liquidated. Try again on another product or strategy.

3. Multiple Attempts: You didn't fill your minimum raise? Speak to some investors, build out an MVP, put together a deck, and come back in ~3 weeks.

4. Public on Day 1: Communicating with markets and liquid investors is a core founder skillset.

5. 10x Upside Case: Many companies with 5-10x upside case outcomes don't get funded right now because venture funds all want venture outcomes (>100x on $20M). What if you just want to build a $25M company with a decent probability of success? Raise $1M and the math works fine for Futardio investors.

Futardio is a paradigm shift for capital markets. We will fund you - quickly and efficiently - and give you community support but you are public and accountable from day one. Welcome to the arena.

## Agent Notes

**Why this matters:** This is the clearest articulation yet of how permissionless futarchy-governed launches create fundamentally different founder behavior — not just faster fundraising but different cultural norms (continuous raises, liquidation as pivot, public accountability from day 1).

**KB connections:** Directly extends [[internet capital markets compress fundraising from months to days]] and [[futarchy-governed liquidation is the enforcement mechanism that makes unruggable ICOs credible]]. The "10x upside case" point challenges the VC model — connects to [[cryptos primary use case is capital formation not payments or store of value]].

**Extraction hints:** At least 2-3 claims here: (1) permissionless launches create new fundraising cultural norms, (2) the 10x upside gap in traditional VC is a market failure that futarchy-governed launches solve, (3) public accountability from day 1 is a feature not a bug.

**Context:** Felipe Montealegre runs Theia Research, a crypto-native investment firm focused on MetaDAO ecosystem. He's been one of the most articulate proponents of the futarchy-governed capital formation thesis. This tweet got 118 likes — high engagement for crypto-finance X.
