The problem

The raise is stalling.
It's not the science.

Most DeSci and Web3 founders are brilliant at building. The gap is always the same: narrative fragmentation, community that doesn't stay, and a BD function that scales to exactly one person — the founder.

01

Narrative fragmentation

Your investor deck says one thing. Your website says another. Your community posts say a third. Investors read the inconsistency as organizational risk — and pass before the first meeting.

02

Community that doesn't stay

Members join for the drop, leave after the announcement. You rebuild the same audience every cycle. The Discord goes quiet between milestones. Token holders lose conviction without a consistent signal.

03

BD that can't scale

You're the best person to close a partnership — and the worst person to spend 40 hours a week doing outreach. The bottleneck is you. Every deal that stalls is a milestone delayed.

"Your science deserves distribution as rigorous as your research."

We build the narrative architecture and AI-powered systems that make DeSci and longevity projects fundable, community-powered, and partnership-ready — without adding headcount.

What we build

Systems that turn
science into traction.

The psychology layer

Why most narratives fail before the raise

DeSci narratives fail because they're written for scientists, not for the psychology of decision-making under uncertainty. Investors, token holders, and community members all have different mental models of risk and reward. A BA in Psychology isn't a resume line — it's how we design narratives that move the right people at the right moment.
