"no exits for three years" is breaking the startup investment model. Crypto is good at getting to liquidity. Can we can apply token economics to mainstream AI and SaaS products, and get to liquidity?

DeFi is too complicated and the onboarding sucks. SEND SUGGESTIONS for onboarding improvements.
We have been running experiments with Taiser staking, using our angel investors. They are not frequent DeFi users. They are new investors that we want (and you want) for serious projects. What are the best ways to get them into a Base / Base Eth / USDC transaction?
The Base team is offering a smart wallet that you can fund with a Coinbase account, or even a debit card. That sounds like it is useful for an infrequent crypto user who only uses a few services on one blockchain.
Our audience in this test was different. They have wallets, which they use infrequently, and some assets on Ethereum or Solana. They probably need a swap that takes in whatever they have. We can add a widget for that. This results in four transactions, which are slow to confirm even on Base - approve swap, swap, ... maybe wait for bridging or swap delivery ..., approve stake, stake. Then we should give them a gasless transaction, which requires a "paymaster" or "relayer" server on our side ...
Onboarding is a general problem for DeFi. What is worth doing and not worth doing for this audience?
There is no minimum stake. You can start with 1 USDC or less. There is no maximum. There are no membership requirements. No trading taxes.
There are no losses on deals that don't close. If the deal doesn't hit a minimum, you unstake
Taiser fits into a gap between memecoins and venture capital. The VC business is in chaos because those poor bastards can't get any money out. Most get ZERO money back in the first four years. They add value by making long-term investments, but this is getting ridiculous.
If the deal gets bigger, your place in line will move earlier, and your bonus will get bigger.
Stakes appear as NFTs in your wallet, so you can sell your bonus any time

This video explains how Taiser offers a new liquid investment strategy that fits between memes and VC. Stake assets to buy Taiser deals, with the option to unstake before closing. Bonding curves reward early action
