+# SeekerVault: Futardio Fundraise
+
+## Summary
+
+SeekerVault attempted to raise $50,000 through Futardio to build encrypted decentralized backup and AI agent storage infrastructure for the 150,000+ Solana Seeker phone users. The project positioned itself as replacing Google Drive/iCloud with Walrus + Seal-based storage, with a roadmap including creator vaults, data marketplace, and AI agent memory storage. The raise failed, collecting only $2,095 (4.2% of target) before entering refunding status.
+
+## Market Data
+
+- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
+- **Raise Target:** $50,000
+- **Total Committed:** $2,095
+- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-08 to 2026-03-09)
+- **Use of Funds:** $8K/month for 6+ months (engineering $4K, infrastructure $3K, growth $1K)
+
+## Product Vision
+
+**Core offering:**
+1. Encrypted backup replacing iCloud for Seeker users (20MB free, 100GB for $10/month in SKR)
+2. AI agent vault for persistent encrypted memory storage
+3. Token-gated creator vaults for content monetization
+4. Data marketplace for on-chain digital content sales
+
+**Token utility (SKV):**
+- Discounted storage pricing when paying with SKV
+- Revenue split: subscription payments in SKR feed treasury, SKV payments create buy pressure
+- Creator economy transaction fees flow to DAO treasury
+
+## Significance
+
+This launch tests whether:
+1. **Captive hardware TAM** (150K Seeker users) translates to fundraising demand
+2. **AI agent storage** as a value proposition resonates before the use case is proven
+3. **Multi-phase roadmap** (backup → creator tools → marketplace) is credible at $50K scale
+
+The 4.2% fill rate suggests either:
+- Market skepticism about execution risk (2-person team, ambitious roadmap)
+- Seeker user base is smaller/less engaged than claimed
+- Storage-as-a-service lacks narrative appeal compared to DeFi/meme primitives
+- Timing mismatch (dApp Store listing still in review, no live traction proof)

+extraction_notes: "Failed fundraise for Seeker phone storage infrastructure. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics — this is purely entity/timeline data. The 4.2% fill rate is a data point but doesn't establish a pattern (single case). Product vision (AI agent storage, creator vaults) is forward-looking pitch content, not evidence of working mechanisms. Existing KB already covers futarchy fundraising dynamics and captive TAM concepts."
