THE AI STARTUP PLAYBOOKCHAPTER 06 / 07

Fundraising & Listing Process

Prepare and execute fundraising, TGE, and listing — building runway and credibility for a stable debut.

OBJECTIVE OF THIS STAGE
Stage 06 of 07

Systematically prepare for and execute fundraising — building both the financial runway and the credibility needed for a successful TGE and subsequent listings.

As the product and community reach a certain level of maturity, the project enters a critical phase of fundraising and token launch — a high-risk, high-reward leap into the public market. It determines whether the project has resources to keep expanding, and shapes the market’s “first impression.”

A well-designed capital strategy can bring in “smart capital” and significant market exposure — but it must be carefully planned to ensure a stable, orderly debut.
