Waivlength
Waivlength is a verified, autonomous social media platform built on blockchain creating a fairer and more rewarding network for its community. The Waivlength platform is in the build phase but has already received backing from the Algorand Foundation and a 10,000+ person community from a prior token offering to support the creation of its network.
We're delighted to share that we are now listed live on Spark Crowdfunding for our first investment round! We are targeting €300k of investment from Spark investors in exchange for equity in the Waivlength company through a SAFE Note. As an Irish startup it meant a lot to be given our first vote of confidence from an Irish group, especially one with such a proven track record for successful raises. Given the decentralised nature of the Waivlength project, doing our first equity fundraise via crowdfunding seemed most fitting. If you'd like to get involved, you can sign up with Spark here
