The new venture playbook
On Umia, raising money means bringing in your most loyal believers from day one.
Because they share in the upside, they're truly aligned and actively help you scale.
Launch your venture
You launch your project on Umia. We handle the legal wrapper, token mint, and treasury setup. No VCs, no waitlists, no lawyers.
Raise from your community
Run a public auction (ICO). Raise from your crowd, not random speculators. zkTLS proofs give priority access to the audience you choose.
Govern with decision markets
Every important decision is proposed as a market. Your community stakes real capital on the outcome versus the base case. Only +EV decisions get automatically executed.
That's it. The result?
This is what tokens were always meant to be: real ownership, not speculation. Your community becomes true aligned investors from day one, genuinely committed to helping you succeed long-term.
Why is raising capital still so painful?
Modern agentic teams move at the speed of AI. Yet fundraising still lives in the old world.
Slow capital
VCs take months. Launchpads cap your upside. By the time you close a round, the market has moved.
a seed round
Low-signal decisions
Boardroom politics don't scale. Advisory boards give opinions, not conviction. AI agrees with anyone.
Trust gap
A two-person team with a risky idea has zero trust signals for funders. No track record, no leverage.
The full launch stack
Go live with legal, capital, and governance already solved.
Zero legal & setup headaches
Instant community capital
Run a public token auction and bring in your real supporters from day one. Capital from people who actually care about your success.
Governance at speed
Monthly treasury allowance for ops. Major decisions resolved through markets in days, not weeks.
The difference
More time building, less time on admin. Exactly how it should be.
Two ways to launch
Both paths get you to a live, tokenized, community-governed venture on Umia. Pick the one that matches where you are today.
