@KaitoAI just launched their Capital Launchpad.
First project is @EspressoSys raising $4M at a $400M valuation. Backed by a16z crypto.

But I won’t lie this caught many of us by surprise.

We thought this would be a way for the community to buy in early, maybe at a fairer price.
Instead, it feels more like a VC-style deal.
Long vesting. KYC. High valuation. No tokens at TGE.

I get the idea. Maybe Kaito is going for real, long-term value.
But for a first launch, it didn’t really connect with the crowd.

Still early days though.
Let’s see how they listen, learn, and adjust.

Watching closely. Still yapping.
