Our Goal
To create a decentralised and inclusive ecosystem that cuts costs, democratises venture fund management, and paves the way for security token offerings, allowing PIPE gDAO to become a leading force in disintermediating VCs and traditional stock exchanges.
What we're building

Overview of our Project

>
Community

A community lead protocol (PIPE GDAO) that fairly, openly and honestly governs overall community leadership and ownership of the various protocols for the problems it chooses to solve, based on its core guiding principles as laid out in it’s mission, vision and values statement.

>
Likeminds

A democratic community fund (PIPE General Fund DAO) of like minded small and large investors managed and protected through smart contracts secured by the Hedera DLT where ALL members have a say on how, where and when investments are made and/or exited.

>
Opportunities

A decentralised exchange (DEX) where community funded investments can be swapped, traded, sold and where further investment can be raised by portfolio companies thus providing exit and follow-on opportunities for PIPE GDAO members.

>
Innovation

We embrace disruptive technologies and decentralised solutions, driving disintermediation to unlock new opportunities and improve investment practices for our community

>
Empowerment

We empower investors, startups, and the broader community by providing access to cost-effective investment opportunities, eliminating unnecessary fees, and promoting transparency

>
Collaboration

We believe in the power of community leadership and democratic decision-making through the DAO voting mechanism, ensuring that all stakeholders have a voice in the future of PIPE

>
Intergrity

We maintain the highest standards of security, trust, and ethical conduct, safeguarding the interests of our investors and prioritising the protection of their assets

>
Long-Term Vision

We focus not only on short-term enterprise benefits but also on fostering sustainable, long-term growth by enabling new business models that align with the changing landscape of the financial industry
