The Problems and Challenges
Funding Inefficiencies
Capital misallocation and a lack of milestone-based evaluation frameworks result in wasted resources and high project failure rates.
Trust Deficit
Opaque processes and unreliable data hinder investor confidence and decision-making.
Privacy Concerns
Current systems fail to balance transparency with privacy, exposing sensitive data to unnecessary risks.
Challenges
Fragmented Ecosystem: Lack of unified tools for founders and investors.
High Risk for Investors: Insufficient mechanisms to assess and mitigate risks effectively.
Founder Vulnerability: Limited access to resources and mentorship for early-stage founders.
Scalability Issues: Traditional models struggle to accommodate global participation.
