The Internet is becoming the new capital market.
But it didnโt happen overnight.
Letโs walk through the evolution ๐
2017 โ ICO boom.
Anyone could raise millions with a whitepaper.
But 90% ended up as vaporware.
2021 โ The VC bubble.
VCs poured billions into โWeb3 unicorns.โ
Retail got late allocations, insiders won big.
2023โ2024 โ https://t.co/kyaR7xjR1b era.
Fair launches returned.
Anyone could create tokens, spin memes, test communities.
But 99% lacked long-term direction.
2025 โ Tokenized Equity.
Founders donโt need Sand Hill Road anymore.
They can launch startups directly as tokens, backed by community & DAO structure.
This is where @icmdotrun comes in.
Internet Capital Markets (ICM) is the next chapter:
Founders tokenize equity
Mentors guide growth
Community aligns incentives
DAO captures upside
https://t.co/xp9REeX7Uy = an incubator on Solana.
Founders commit a small % of their supply.
Mentors & contributors earn allocation.
Treasury fuels sustainable growth.
Why this matters:
Web2 founders can enter Web3 without VC gatekeepers
Startups launch fast, global, on-chain
Aligned incentives remove exit pressure
DAO ownership ensures decentralization
Weโve moved from:
ICOs (hype) โ
VCs (control) โ
Memecoins (fun but short-term) โ
Now https://t.co/xp9REeX7Uy: Tokenized Equity, real projects, real upside.
ICM is how the next generation of startups will launch.
Fast. Global. Community-owned. On Solana.
It's not enough for web2 founders to launch a token for ICM to work.
So i'm building @icmdotrun - the first ICM focused Incubator supporting @believeapp / @MeteoraAG ICM eco.
Not live yet, but I am currently hunting for mentors that believe, if thats you, would love to yap!
