So many tier-1 VCs have been DMing us since we launched @infecteddotfun and we ignored them all. Just like Hyperliquid, the biggest crypto companies in 5 years will be 100% self-funded with tokens directly tied to their product and revenue. Building a strong community and having mechanisms to reward those early believers, is the future of startups. VCs are simply distractions to this. They demand a massive token allocation, then dump on the community the moment their vesting ends. Raising from VCs with a goal of buyout or IPO is a dead playbook. @pndmdotorg is 100% self-funded. We're not going to raise a single cent from VCs. $VIRUS is our only focus for capturing and increasing the value from our products. Nothing else. We're currently finalizing the first version of $VIRUS tokenomics (we’ll be iterating on different models to find the right fit), and we’ll publish it before launching @addicteddotfun so the connection between our games and the token is crystal clear. I know everyone wants us to launch Addicted asap, but great things take time. when it drops, it’s gonna blow your mind. We’re in this for the long run. If you believe in $VIRUS, stick with us. — Pandemic Labs
