SeedList intends to disrupt crypto fundraising by launching a large-scale institutional-grade crypto crowdfunding platform prioritizing KOLs & value-add retail investors over old-money VCs; Will leverage A.I. & Provide merit-based allocation & Streamline large-scale fundraising for crypto founders using its pre-vetted strategic network
SINGAPORE - Marylandian -- SeedList, the industry-disruptive crypto crowdfunding platform hailed as the "Robinhood" of crypto fundraising, today announced the official launch of its crypto project. Its business model is designed to complement that of industry leaders like CoinList, Republic & TokenSoft but targets non-U.S. clients & users.
The SeedList launch will mark a pivotal shift in how digital assets are funded and who benefits from their success. SeedList's mission is clear: to dismantle the entrenched venture capital (VC) gatekeeping system that has long exploited retail investors and to decentralize investment power by rewarding real contributors, Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), strategic partners, and engaged retail investors.
Retail Investors Have Been Left Behind
For years, retail investors have been relegated to the bottom of a pyramid-shaped capital stack, often serving as exit liquidity for early-stage VCs and insiders who secure massive allocations at rock-bottom valuations. The result has been widespread retail losses, disillusionment, and a broken system that contradicts crypto's founding promise of democratized finance.
"The crypto ecosystem promised financial empowerment for the many, but instead, retail investors have been repeatedly shortchanged, used as exit liquidity for VC firms focused on rapid exits and short-term gains," said Rosa Pagani, SeedList Co-Founder, "SeedList will remove VCs from the center of the equation entirely, decentralizing investment and putting financial power back into the hands of the people who actually build, promote, and sustain these projects, KOLs & value-add retail investors."

A New Narrative: From rapid-exit VCs to Meritocratic Access
Legacy platforms such as CoinList, Republic, & TokenSoft have pushed the boundaries in our industry, innovating and enabling many crowdfunding crypto launches but have largely perpetuated a system favoring institutional insiders. "These platforms often prioritize U.S.-based VCs, impose inflated valuations on retail investors, and offer limited upside, resulting in large retail losses and eroding trust," said Brijesh Patel, one of SeedList's other co-founders.
Brijesh continues, "We are witnessing a critical movement away from the old VC narrative. SeedList flips this by rewarding measurable value, community building, technical development, and genuine engagement, ensuring that retail investors and KOLs have meaningful access and upside, and can invest before VCs at the Seed or Pre-Seed round of top 100 target market crypto projects."
Traction and Industry Momentum
The crypto fundraising market is evolving rapidly. Platforms such as CoinList (likely valued at north of $5 billion ), Republic (at over $2 billion), and TokenSoft have launched over 50 projects since 2018, including landmark projects like Solana, Filecoin, Near, Flow, and Shardeum. They have now launched nearly 100 projects in the next year, including WalletConnect ($10mm on 4 launchpads including CoinList, Binance Launchpad, & Echo) and the upcoming Perplexity.
Yet, despite this growth by these industry innovators, retail investors remain underserved and undervalued, said CryptoSheldon, Co-Founder of SeedList. He continues "We see growing demand for platforms that prioritize transparency, fairness, and real-world impact. SeedList's AI-driven meritocratic allocation system and international, non-U.S. focus position us uniquely to capture this momentum and deliver a better experience for retail investors and project founders alike."
SeedList's Differentiated Business Model
Unlike competitors, SeedList will be designed to eliminate VC gatekeeping by using proprietary AI to dynamically adjust SAFT allocation based on measurable contributions rather than passive capital. Its curated ecosystem will connect projects with a vetted network of KOLs, strategic partners, and Tier 1 exchanges, accelerating project launches and aligning incentives across the board. Features include:

Industry-Wide Impact
