Inside the launchpad: idea to TGE in 90 days

Ninety days, idea to token. People assume that number is marketing. It isn't — it's a constraint we impose on ourselves, because momentum is the scarcest resource an early team has.

How the 90 days break down

We work as operators, not passengers. The same team that wrote the first check is in the trenches on launch night. That's the difference between a fund that allocates and a fund that builds.

It doesn't always fit in 90 days — some products need longer in incubation. But the discipline of a clock keeps everyone honest, and it's how we've taken teams from a deck to a live market 14 times.

Building in on-chain AI, DeFAI or ZK?

ZK Prime Capital backs founders from idea to TGE: grants $5K–$75K, checks $50K–$250K, incubation and a launchpad behind it. Every application gets a reply within 5 business days.
