Case Study

Tokenomics Design & $8M Raise for a Web3 Infrastructure Protocol

Client Profile

A Web3 startup building decentralised data infrastructure seeking to raise capital through a combination of equity and token sale.

The Challenge

Complex dual-track fundraise requiring both traditional VC and crypto-native investors. Tokenomics design needed to balance utility, governance, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

Our Approach

Nirji designed the tokenomics model, structured the dual-track raise (equity SAFE + SAFT), prepared regulatory opinions for Singapore and US, and managed investor relations across both traditional and crypto-native investor pools.

Solution Delivered

Raised $8M across equity ($5M from VCs) and token pre-sale ($3M from crypto funds). Token launch achieved 4x oversubscription.
