1. Equity You give up ownership. Great for infra, fintech, and long-term tech bets. Slow liquidity, but strategic upside. 2. Token Investment Investors buy discounted tokens. Faster liquidity, more volatility. Only works if your tokenomics hold up. 3. SAFE Simple Agreement for Future Equity. No set valuation. Clean, fast, founder-friendly. 4. SAFT Like a SAFE, but for tokens. Legal gray zones—especially cross-border. Still common in crypto-native deals. 5. Convertible Note Short-term debt that turns into equity later. Adds interest. Pressure on timing. Best for mid-stage rounds. 6. Grant Free money, no dilution. Usually from ecosystems, DAOs, or accelerators. Great for early-stage builders. Not growth capital. 7. Rev Share Keep equity. Share revenue until cap is hit. Rare in Web3, but smart with traction. Clean alignment if structured right. 8. Strategic Capital You’re not just raising money— You’re bringing on a partner. Comes with infra, access, and GTM firepower. 9. Other Tranches, warrants, hybrid structures. Every cap table tells a story. Don’t be afraid to negotiate creative terms.

Web3 founders: not all capital is created equal. There are 9 ways investors fund you—and choosing the wrong one can kill your runway, momentum, or control. Here’s the clearest breakdown I’ve seen (no BS): 👇 Thread

Most Web3 decks aren’t bad. They’re just invisible. Signal gets buried. Investors waste time. Founders get ghosted. DeckNode filters the noise and surfaces what matters. Join the investor network to access real signal 👇 forms.decknode.com/investors #Web3 #CryptoVC #DealFlow #Startups #DeckNode

5/ Each deck is scored by both AI and experts. Each match is filtered based on the investor’s actual criteria. We don’t care about spray-and-pray. We care about precision.

4/ At DeckNode, we decided to fix this. Not by building another pitch portal. Not by asking founders to blast 100 DMs. But by curating deal flow based on real alignment: 🧠 Thesis 🧱 Stage 🌐 Ecosystem 📊 Metrics

3/ Founders end up pitching the wrong people. Investors waste time sifting through noise. And high-potential projects fall through the cracks—not because they aren’t fundable, but because there’s no signal.

2/ Hundreds of decks circulate monthly across investor inboxes. Most never get reviewed. Even fewer land in front of funds actively deploying in that stage or vertical.

1/ The Web3 funding landscape isn’t broken because of a lack of capital. It’s broken because of a disconnect. Between decks and decision-makers. Between pitch volume and investor alignment.

🧵 Why founders struggle to get in front of the right capital—no matter how strong the deck:

Investors aren’t short on pitch decks. They’re short on signal. DeckNode helps cut the noise so your best bets rise first. We don’t host decks. We route them. To investors who are actively deploying, not just browsing. #DeckNode #Web3 #VC #Crypto

Most pitch decks don’t fail because they’re bad. They fail because they’re seen by the wrong people at the wrong time. We’re fixing the timing. #CryptoNews #Web3

DeckNode is built to fix that. one aligned match at a time. Submit once. Get routed right. #crypto #web3 #DeckNode #VC #DAO #Solana #ETH

1. The wrong intros waste your time 2. The wrong timing kills momentum 3. The wrong investor kills the deal

Most founders treat fundraising like a form. But it’s actually a filter. Here’s what that means 👇🏼

From demo day to investor day. Excited to partner with @taikaigarden to back real builders beyond the hackathon. Let’s close the loop for Web3 founders.
