What Bitcoin Did for Money yc0n1c & yc01n is Doing for Venture Capital
Decentralized Access to Capital
Just as Bitcoin removed banks from the equation, yc0n1c removes gatekeepers—funding is earned, not pitched.
The Tokenization of Startups
The invention of Startup Tokenization ushers in an era of frictionless capital, where Scale Pools transform equity into programmable liquidity.
Trustless, Permissionless Participation
Bitcoin disintermediated banks from money. yc0n1c removes VCs from funding decisions. Anyone, anywhere can now back or build startups.
The Venture Capital Rebellion for The Rest of Us
To every brilliant software developer who was never hired by a big tech company or a fast-growing startup. To every tech entrepreneur who was ignored, ghosted, or passed over by every VC firm. To every self-taught coder who was judged by their résumé instead of their repo. To every visionary founder who was told their market was too small, too weird, or too early. To every creator from overlooked cities, unheard regions, and underestimated communities. To every team that built something amazing—and still got rejected.
To every outsider who’s been told 'no' before they even spoke… yc0n1c was built for this moment. To rewrite the rules. To mint your own future. To prove that traction speaks louder than pedigree. To make startup success permissionless. In 2009, Satoshi created Bitcoin to break the monopoly on money. Today, we are creating yc0n1c to break the monopoly on innovation.
A New Chance to Build a Fair Future
yc0n1c isn’t just built for you—it’s constructed to be built by you. It’s the world’s first to tokenize startups at the moment of traction, create a cryptocurrency (yc01n) with real-world utility, validate growth through on-chain Proof-of-Scale consensus, and automates capital distribution using AI agents instead of gatekeepers.
It empowers investors to earn by backing execution, not connections. It gives developers, creatives, and operators the ability to earn equity without résumés. It turns entire regions into venture hubs via localized DAO networks. This time, the network believes in you. And we do, too.
You Have a 0.05% Chance
Of being funded by the current biased global venture capital system.
You Have a 20% to 40% Chance
Of being funded by yc0n1c if you can validate market fit (20%) and demonstrate traction (40%).
Stop giving your power and agency to
The powerful gatekeepers who will never give you anything.
Wake up Neo...
yc0n1c is the red pill you've been waiting for.
The Gatekeepers No Longer Control Innovation Because
AI Powered Decisions; DAO Verified
yc0n1c AI is supported by RLDF: Reinforcement Learning with DAO Feedback yields hyper-scalable, bias-resistant intelligence.
Startup Scale Pools
In another global first, every startup is tokenized on chain (imagine the possibilities). In yet another global first, each startup operates as a Scale Pool Node (SpN) that drives the minting of yc01n.
Visionary Tech Leaders Shaping Tomorrow
Proof of Scale
Startups hyper-focus on Scaling Events (ScE), DAO members validate resulting in the minting and proportionate distribution of yc01n to DAO members (Startups, Validators, Coders, Investors, Treasury, etc.).
The yc01n Reserve Treasury
The yc01n treasury will always hold 10% in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano and XRP. All yc0n1c startups will maintain 10% of assets in yc01n.
Now, Everyone Can Be an Investor
A permissionless, decentralized economy isn't owned by ANYONE. It's owned by EVERYONE. Once you own a VOTING AMOUNT of yc01n, you become an owner, voter, DAO member, and investor.
Welcome to the DAOlancer Economy
The concept of applying for a job is dead. There is plenty of enriching and rewarding work for yc0n1c DAO members. Write code, validate Proof of Scale, add value and reap the rewards.
