The crypto space may share many similarities with the oil rush of the 19th Century, but for a whole host of reasons, the tactics employed by John D Rockefeller of aggressive expansion and elimination of the competition don’t apply in early-crypto.
The main reason collaboration over competition is a more rational, beneficial, and sustainable approach is simple. Oil, gold, and diamonds, are all finite resources. Humans can be clever in how these resources are extracted, but at the end of the day, the prize goes to the company that can dominate as much of the resource as possible.
Crypto is not a finite resource, in fact, its reach is infinite. This is because all crypto startups are an expression of human knowledge. They are not constrained by bandwidth, office space or labour allocation, they are only constrained by the limits of human knowledge and creativity, which, as David Deutsch argues so convincingly in ‘The Beginning of Infinity’ is infinite.
It’s for these reasons they’ve chosen to take a collaborative approach to working with launchpads, their first formal partnership being with none other than the excellent team Superlauncher.
Who are Superlauncher?
SuperLauncher is an investment DAO that funds and collaborates with projects that are shaping the future of blockchain. They facilitate mass participation in Seed/Private/IDO rounds through their smart contract architecture and offer a feature-rich platform that powers flexible and decentralized management of capital.
With teams in Asia, Africa, North America, and the EU they specialise in launching early-stage crypto projects and surfacing them to investors throughout Asian and western markets. Superlaunchers overall vision is 100% DAO, aiming to hand over complete control to their community. This dichotomy of approach between Superlauncher and Lithium ensure that all investor appetites are being accounted for.
How The Partnership Will Work
Lithium and Superlauncher will collaborate at various parts of the value chain ensuring the provision and delivery of that value to both our founding teams and investors.
Deal Flow
Good quality deal flow with talented founding teams is the difference between a successful launchpad and an average one. If your community isn’t confident in your launch picks, they’ll soon lose interest.
Lithium and Superlauncher both have a track record of launching projects that deliver substantial returns and will look to inform each other about interesting projects, to increase deal flow throughput for all parties.
Using different approaches for deal flow, there is significant value to be added to each respective community and investor base.
Marketing
Pre-launch marketing can make or break an IDO projects success, Lithium and Superlauncher will work to communicate IDO offerings across their communities, driving adoption of tokens to each project and ensure IDO success. By pooling resources they can increase the reach and exposure for their respective projects, driving economies of scale through marketing and development spends.
Product
Launchpads and DAO’s generally face similar opportunities when creating products, by pooling together technical knowledge on challenges such as x-chain bridging, NFT creation and more, Lithium and Superlaucher should both benefit from more efficient product development, and a better user experience.
