From Zero to $400K in Two Weeks: How I Helped Founder Jeff Build a Token Private Sale Platform

17th July, 2024

If you're a founder or team leader in the startup ecosystem, you've probably faced the daunting challenge of raising funds. It's not just about the pitch; it's about having the right platform to facilitate the process. Let me take you through a journey of how I helped Jeff raise over $400k with a token private sale platform built in just two weeks. Spoiler alert: it was a rollercoaster, but the results were worth every twist and turn!

The Challenge

Jeff approached me with a pressing need: he wanted a sleek, efficient platform to run a token private sale. The goal was to raise substantial funds quickly, and he had a tight deadline. The tech stack was ambitious: Fullstack Nextjs, Rainbow Kit, Wagmi, Ethersjs, Solana Web3js, NodeJS, and Solidity. The initial build was on the Solana blockchain, but we hit a snag—Solana got congested, and we had to pivot to EVM mid-round.

The Solution

Two Weeks, One Mission: Build a robust platform capable of raising $400k.

Tech Arsenal: Nextjs, Rainbow Kit, Wagmi, Ethersjs, Solana Web3js, NodeJS, and Solidity.

Challenges Overcome:

  1. Blockchain Switcharoo: Mid-round, Solana's congestion meant we had to switch to EVM. It was a nail-biting moment, but flexibility was key. We adapted quickly, ensuring the transition was seamless for investors.
  2. Wallet Compatibility: To ensure inclusivity, I integrated support for Trust Wallet and Metamask using Rainbow Kit and Wagmi. This decision was crucial—it meant that investors could participate regardless of their internet connection or device.
  3. Real-time Tracking: I built a bot to track transactions on-chain, providing real-time updates and transparency. This feature boosted investor confidence and streamlined the tracking process.
  4. Performance Dashboards: A dashboard for Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) was essential. It allowed them to track their performance and the performance of their teams, fostering a competitive yet collaborative environment.
  5. User Experience Enhancements: Using Hotjar, I tracked where investors were struggling or getting lost on the platform. This data-driven approach led to clever tweaks and improvements, making the investment process smoother and more intuitive.

The Result

In just two weeks, the platform went live and raised over $400k. The journey from conceptualization to execution was intense, but the success was exhilarating. The project wasn't just about hitting a financial target; it was about creating a seamless user experience, ensuring transparency, and building trust.
