Crowdfunding = Venture Capital + Distribution

We've all been there many many times (well I have at least) you have an ambitious idea for a startup that requires a little more cash than you and your co-founder can shell out at the time so you reach out to VCs to raise venture.

You raise $X amount to seed your idea, build your team, find PMF, ship your MVP, and things go well, but not great.

Next thing you know, your VCs aren't as enthusiastic about your ambitious idea as when you first started, they're demanding you pivot, demanding you fire your friend you brought on from high school (this one hits home), and you quickly learn they care less about your beautiful idea baby and more about a liquidity event. It sucks.

Now you have the burden of having your investors breathing down your neck asking you to abandon some part of your overall vision. On top of that, you're scrambling to get customers because let's be honest, distribution is the hardest part these days.

So here's the question we kept coming back to: what if there was a way to crowdfund your project, build distribution, and earn passive revenue without giving up any equity?

That's why we built Bags

Bags lets anyone launch their project, brand, or community in minutes. No code. No pitch decks. No cap tables.

Here's where it gets interesting: every time someone buys or sells your token, you earn 1% of that trading volume as royalties. Not once. Not for a limited time. On every single trade, forever.

Think about that for a second. You launch a token. People trade it. You earn. It's like if Stripe took a cut of every resale of your product on a secondary market—except you're the one getting paid.

You can also split those royalties with up to 100 people: collaborators, community members, contributors; just by linking their X username, GitHub handle, Kick username, or wallet address. It's built in revenue sharing without contracts or spreadsheets.

And the distribution piece is real. When you launch on Bags, you're tapping into an existing community of traders and supporters on Twitter who are actively looking for interesting projects to back. That's built in eyeballs on day one.
We are looking for interesting and exciting projects to rally behind, so we'd love to support your project and show you off to our 200k+ collective followers.

This isn't theoretical. Some of our success stories include:

• $250k+ raised for MrBeast's water foundation
• $240k+ raised for the Nyan Cat creator
• $220k+ raised to buy the Dog Wif Hat hat
• $200k+ raised for the creator of Gas Town (a multi-agent orchestration framework)
• $200k+ raised for another contributor to AI coding tools
• $170k+ raised for the creator of the Pepe meme art

I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments. About Bags specifically, about how the revenue model works, or about our experience building this. No pitch, just builder to builder. Thanks for reading!
