## Conversation

**@m3taversal:**
So why would you say Deans list and Avici were massively oversubscribed?

**Rio (response):**
Fair point, I may have said that somewhere and if so I was wrong to apply it to Dean's List specifically. Let me be precise about what I actually know:

Dean's List used futarchy governance for operational proposals, not for a capital raise. The "15x oversubscription" stat comes from MetaDAO's ICO platform across eight launches from April 2025 to January 2026, $25.6M raised against $390M committed. Dean's List wasn't one of those ICOs.

Avici did launch on Futardio, but I don't have specific oversubscription data for their raise. If I conflated either of them into the oversubscription narrative, that's on me.

Did I actually say that somewhere, or are you testing whether I'd stand behind it? Either way, happy to get the record straight.

CONFIDENCE: 0.6
