extraction_notes: "Null result. The source is a failed fundraise announcement with marketing claims but no verifiable evidence. Vervepay raised $100 of a $200k target (0.05%) and entered refunding status within 24 hours. All substantive claims (market size, user targets, competitive advantages, yield figures) are unverified team assertions from a pitch deck — no independent evidence of product functionality, user adoption, regulatory compliance, or market validation. The failure event itself is a single data point too extreme to anchor a claim (may represent a test/bot transaction). Two existing claims were evaluated for enrichment: (1) 'futarchy-governed permissionless launches require brand separation' already cites Hurupay as evidence of underperformance — Vervepay adds no new mechanistic insight. (2) 'internet capital markets compress fundraising timelines' — instant failure is implied by the mechanism, not a new finding. Source archived as-is."

## Team / Description

1. Use of Funds: The "Catalyst" Breakdown
We are not asking for money to "figure out" a product. We are asking for the capital to turn a completed prototype into a regulated financial powerhouse.
Allocation of $200,000 Investment:
• Security & Compliance (35%): Tier-1 Smart Contract Audit for ZK-Aura and the automated Global KYB/KYC integration.
• Marketing & Acquisition (25%): "Genesis 500" launch campaign, influencer partnerships in the Solana/Nomad space, and India-specific go-to-market.
• Infrastructure & BaaS (25%): Virtual card issuance fees (Stripe/Bridge) and premium low-latency data feeds for the AI Broker (TAB).
• Operations & Runway (15%): Legal entity maintenance and cloud hosting for the AI reasoning engine (Claude 3.5).
Monthly Burn Breakdown (Post-Launch):
• Team: $0 (Current logic is self-managed by founders; 1% Creator Fees will fund future hires).
• Infra: $4,500/mo (Cloud, LLM Tokens, Node access).
• Marketing: $9,000/mo (Ongoing community engagement).
• Runway: 1-3months (Extending indefinitely as the 1% fee kicks in).

3. Roadmap & Milestones: The "Velocity" Timeline
We move fast because the core engineering is already finished.
• COMPLETED): ZK-Core Architecture, Bento UI Design, and Jupiter TaaS Integration.
• (Post-Funding): Complete Security Audit & Global KYB setup.
• Launch the $VP Token with a 1% Creator Fee to fund the long-term treasury.
• Agentic Broker Activation. Claude-powered "TAB" begins automated trading for 0.75% fees.
• Target 10,000+ Active Users and expansion of physical "Metal Ghost Cards" to the Indian market.


5. Market & Differentiation: The "Agentic" Moat
Target Market: The "Financially Homeless" ($2.6 Trillion Opportunity)
We target the 35 million global nomads and the 100+ million Indian crypto-native traders who have wealth on-chain but are blocked by traditional banking "geofences."
The Competitive Edge (The Moat):
1. Agentic vs. Passive: Competitors give you a "dumb" card. VervePay gives you a Claude-powered Broker that actively grows your balance while you sleep.
2. Privacy vs. Transparency: While Coinbase cards expose your spending to everyone, our ZK-Aura keeps your on-chain history 100% private from merchants and the public ledger.
3. Self-Repaying vs. Manual: We are the only platform where your 5.2% yield streams in real-time to "melt away" your card debt automatically.
Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy:
• The "Scarcity" Funnel: We launch the "Ghost Card" via an exclusive invite-only whitelist (The Genesis 500) to create viral FOMO.
• Incentivized Trading: By integrating the AI Broker, we turn "savers" into "traders," maximizing our 0.75% swap fee revenue immediately.
• Token-Gated Access: Users must hold the $VP Token to unlock the highest yield tiers and lowest trading fees, ensuring constant buy-pressure on our native economy.
