extraction_notes: "This source is a failed fundraise announcement with marketing claims but no verifiable evidence. The project raised $100 of a $200k target and immediately went to refunding status. All substantive claims (market size, user targets, competitive advantages) are unverified marketing assertions from the team pitch deck. No independent evidence of product functionality, user adoption, regulatory compliance, or market validation. The failure itself is a data point (recorded in key_facts) but generates no extractable claims about futarchy, internet finance mechanisms, or capital formation. The existing claim 'internet capital markets compress fundraising from months to days' could theoretically be enriched with this as a counter-example (instant failure), but the sample size of one failed raise adds no meaningful evidence about the broader mechanism. This is pure source archive material."

## 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.
