A better way
to fund creators

Crypto venture funding is broken.

• Founders raise too much, too early.
• Often high FDV token launches that dump on retail.
• Products that don't make sense, often inventing a problem to solve.
• Angel checks given to founders with no accountability.

FundingWorks solves this.

• Supporters commit ETH to creators, not products.
• Creators can use the funds as they choose.
• ETH is held inside a soulbound NFT and vested to the creator over time.
• Supporters can burn their NFT to withdraw unspent funds, pro-rata.

Healthy Speculation

• NFTs are soulbound, funds raised are reasonable.
• No flipping. No secondary sales.
• This protects creators from inflated expectations and lets them build without pressure.

No Returns Expected

• Supporters back the person, not the product.
• Milestone-based payouts can't be reliably enforced onchain.
• If a supporter feels the relationship is one-sided, they can exit and reclaim remaining funds.
• Ideally, the creator builds something worth being part of.
• This is not an investment and there may be no financial return. Like Patreon or Kickstarter, this is about backing the vision.

FundingWorks is a TokenWorks launch

• FundingWorks launches with TokenWorks as the first creator.
• If successful, the platform will open to approved creators.
• For each campaign 3% is taken as a platform fee, 7% is paid out to the creator instantly, and the remaining 90% is streamed to them over the course of the vesting period.
• The contracts are permissionless and open source, our goal is to make the platform available for all creators.
• If the proof-of-concept doesn't gain traction, it will remain a one-off launch for TokenWorks.
