The PIPE General Fund Launchpad Test-Net Announcement
‍
The PIPE General Fund (PGF) is a real-world impact web3 launchpad focused on bringing University Lab innovations that could change the world to market, it is the first protocol of the PIPE gDAO ReFi (regenerative finance) ecosystem.
By bridging the gap between web3 retail investors and university lab innovators inventing whose projects are focused on societal, commercial and environmental impact. This is done via The PIPE Company OU (PIPE), our real-world impact partner’s LabtoIPO platform with it’s novel QED process for turning academic lab innovations into high impact and viable start-ups.
The PGF Launchpad is the funding mechanism for the PIPE’s platform and aims to democratise access to early-stage impact start-ups opportunities for retail investors using the power of web3 technology. For a deep dive into our ecosystem, you read our white paper here.
