Launch Cohort 001

Bring proof that makes a first advance easy to back.

The strongest Cohort 001 applications are specific: a visible work stream, a shipping proof you can submit, and a realistic repayment source for the first Launch Advance.

Visible work

A GitHub repo, demo, storefront, portfolio, invoice, or profile that reviewers can inspect.

Near-term proof

A receipt, deploy, PR, customer link, delivery note, or reviewer signal you can submit after funding.

Repayment source

A clear source such as an invoice, sale, stipend, payroll, grant, or confirmed budget.

Who should apply

  • Builders shipping public products or portfolio work in the next 2-4 weeks.
  • Freelancers, creators, students, or operators with a concrete use for a small Launch Advance.
  • Applicants comfortable joining a five-person CredCircle where proof and repayment are visible.

Not ready yet

Wait until the project, proof artifact, and repayment source are concrete. Vague cash needs and circular vouching stay on the waitlist.

One niche, perfected on Solana

Proof-backed launch capital for builders who prove they ship.

CredPass that unlocks action

A user sees their tier, launch limit, proof receipts, repayment history, and the exact next step to level up.

CredCircles for accountability

Five-person circles make trust, proof standards, vouching, and repayment visible before capital moves.

Launch Advances with proof

Each small USDC advance has a purpose, due date, proof target, vouches, and a repayment upgrade path.

Vouching as underwriting

Trusted users back reliable builders with reputation capacity, creating an underwriting graph over time.

Proof receipts

GitHub links, invoices, receipts, deploys, and community reviews show what the advance helped create.

Protocol rails still scale

The focused Launch Advance product sits on uLendMe lending, P2P, insurance, reputation NFTs, and Solana settlement.

Simple to start. Built to compound.

The loop is intentionally direct: proof, backing, capital, shipped work, repayment, and a stronger CredPass.

1

Apply with proof

Share the project, use of funds, proof you can submit, and how you expect to repay.

2

Join a CredCircle

A small circle gives reviewers and vouchers context before capital moves.

3
