This update means a lot, because our mission remains to give everyone on the in the internet access to top startups. So we spent a lot of time sourcing great deals and we're finally back with an amazing lineup of startups - Y-combinator backed companies with amazing revenue growth - 0-to-1 infrastructure companies - Biotech companies (you haven't seen sth like this on-chain) - Hot consumer apps For some startups, a tradeable token has great benefits. For others, we now allow illiquid rounds, that initially behave like normal Echo-rounds with the possibility to add liquidity at any point in time. We are able to use the same Stakeholder Token Standard and harness the power of Token22 and it's controlability, thanks to @solana's composability.

Liquid private markets only work if great founders actually want to participate. Otherwise you get adverse selection: weaker companies go public, strong investors stay away, and the market deteriorates. The Crafts Anchor Board is our answer.

Yesterday we launched the Crafts Anchor Board: a private network for high-signal capital deployers to review curated startups, meet founders, and pre-commit before rounds open publicly on Crafts. We built it because open access and serious underwriting should reinforce each other, not compete. Investors share their mandate once and our AI engine matches their thesis with curated frontier startups. Selected members conduct deeper diligence and can pre-commit for early allocation. Anchor Board Leads run founder calls, coordinate diligence, and help anchor selected rounds. For founders, this builds informed demand before launch and brings investors who can help win customers, recruit talent, expand distribution, and bring follow-on capital. Sticky capital should not mean locked capital. It should mean investors with enough context and conviction to take a longer view, creating a holder base that can strengthen early price discovery and bring stability with high-potential for growth For investors, it means less random deal flow, deeper access, and a real role in companies they are equipped to underwrite. Anchor and public allocations settle at the same uniform, market-cleared price, based on real demand through our sealed bid auction. Feel free to hit me up if you want to be involved.

Introducing the Crafts Anchor Board. Review curated startups before the round opens: • Meet founders • Lead diligence • Soft-commit to selected rounds • Get early access to curated offerings Apply as investor →

One of the key challenges in creating liquid markets for private companies is adverse selection. You can attract deal flow, but without strong founder quality, credible investors won’t step up to lead and anchor rounds. Over the past months, we’ve spent a lot of time talking to investors, curating strong capital deployers, and understanding what they need to underwrite private companies before a liquid round opens. We turned those learnings into a new investor flow, and one of the core building blocks of Crafts going forward. Tomorrow.

We took the learnings from our first raise, stepped back, and rebuilt one of the most important parts of Crafts raises in the future. The vision remains the same: build venture-grade infrastructure for liquid, equity-linked startup investing. Stay tuned.
