DeckNode: A New Infrastructure for Web3 Financing that Smartly Matches Founders with Capital

[Coin World] If you are a founder, you must have experienced: endless funding application forms, unproductive cold introductions, and the excitement of demo day fading away by Monday. If you are an investor, your inbox is flooded with business proposals that do not match your investment themes, drowned out by the noise rather than surfacing relevant background information. If you are an ecosystem leader, you spend months helping the team grow but lose visibility on what happens next. Everyone is trying hard. But the funding infrastructure has not kept up with the speed or complexity of Web3. DeckNode is changing that.

In terms of products, the team will conduct testing, learning, and iteration until a breakthrough is found. Capital should follow the same logic. DeckNode is building a financing intelligence layer for Web3. We connect high-value founders with matching capital through AI scoring, investment theme-based routing, and ecosystem-integrated matching. This is not another funding application form. This is an infrastructure upgrade.

DeckNode will not overwhelm investors with business plans, nor will it pursue large-scale joinings. We collaborate with incubators, accelerators, DAOs, launch platforms, and founder communities to present top-tier project teams with high-quality deal flow. These projects will be scored, filtered, and matched with investors based on industry focus, development stage, and timing. We do not believe in pursuing quantity for the sake of quantity. We believe in clarity.

"The best trades come not from chasing noise, but from adjusting signals. The establishment of DeckNode is aimed at making this adjustment scalable," said DeckNode founder Philipe Salem.

The network is private, application-only, and aims to present real opportunities while maintaining quality. We welcome qualified VCs, angel investors, DAOs, family offices, investment groups, accelerators, and ecosystem funds to join. Each institution will be reviewed for clarity of investment themes, capital activity, and founder fit. For founders, this means gaining access to suitable capital more broadly without spam. For investors, this means less noise and more confidence.

"Currently, fundraising in Web3 is too difficult. Founders and investors often waste time on mismatched opportunities. Geography makes the situation worse. I've seen outstanding founders from Asia who have built world-class companies, but it's challenging to raise funds from the West due to cultural differences and limited channels. That's why it's so important to connect the right founders with the right investors and the right backgrounds. After facilitating over 300 investments between Asian founders and global VCs, I've learned that the best deals come from understanding the founder's story and sharing their vision, rather than sifting through a pile of business plans." said Tetsugan Sakamoto, Head of CVC Investments at Crypto Times.

The founder submits once. Match with investors that fit your stage, development, and product category. No need to chase. No need for cold referrals. Investors receive a curated deal flow that aligns with investment themes and comes from a rich background. Reduce screening time and increase deployment time. Ecosystem leaders can track results, present the best-performing teams, and connect them with capital without having to build financing channels from scratch.

DeckNode was launched at Consensus Toronto and is currently in the private testing phase. We are planning a global network composed of matched founders, investors, and partners. The focus is not on scale, but on intelligent, intention-driven matching. If you are building or supporting the future of Web3, DeckNode is built for you.
