In Web3, TGE success starts long before launch. Initia partnered early with GVRN to set up the right legal structure, craft airtight T&Cs, and secure trademarks—ensuring a smooth, compliant launch that let the team focus on growth, not last-minute fixes.

Raising funds for a Web3 startup involves five key steps: crafting a compelling pitch deck that clearly explains your problem, solution, market opportunity, tokenomics, team, and financials; identifying aligned investors such as VCs, crypto funds, DAOs, or angels; delivering a confident, well-practiced pitch that highlights your project’s unique value; negotiating a term sheet covering valuation, investment amount, token rights, and governance; and executing legal agreements like SAFEs, SAFTs, or token warrants while managing the fundraising round. With the right preparation, investor alignment, and tools to track commitments and legal terms, founders can streamline the process and focus on building their vision.

A SAFE, or Simple Agreement for Future Equity, is a quick and simple fundraising tool that lets investors give money to a startup now in exchange for future shares, avoiding the immediate costs and complexity of issuing equity. Popularized by Y Combinator, SAFEs in the Web3 space often include token warrants, giving investors both company equity and cryptocurrency tokens tied to the project. This approach offers speed, flexibility, and added incentives, making it a preferred method for early-stage Web3 fundraising.
