WHY A DECENTRALIZED AND TRANSPARENT FUND?
A New Economic Architecture
The opaque, centralized models of traditional venture capital are part of the failing system. They were not designed to build a conscious civilization.
The Seismic Fund operates on a different foundation: a blockchain-powered treasury that provides a revolutionary model for funding and acceleration. This isn't a technical novelty; it's our foundational commitment to transparency, community governance, and equitable access for both entrepreneurs and investors.
By leveraging a distributed ledger, we create a fully auditable flow of capital. Our community of stakeholders helps govern the Fund, ensuring resources are always aligned with our collective mission. This is the transparent architecture required to fund the future.

FAQ
Clarity for Innovators and Investors
Here are the answers to the frequently asked questions about Otonom, but if you still need more information, check out our pitch deck and lightpaper or join us on Discord.
Otonom is a blockchain-powered funding and acceleration platform specifically designed for AI ventures. We combine an AI-driven selection process, comprehensive startup training, and a tiered investment system to connect innovative AI startups with global investors. Our goal is to revolutionize how AI projects are funded, developed, and brought to market.
Otonom aims to create a truly decentralized and autonomous structure, embodying the core philosophy of blockchain technology. Our vision is to establish a self-sufficient system where all participants are owners/shareholders, free from domination by any single entity or group of capital-rich individuals. To achieve this, we're working towards implementing a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure. This approach, similar in spirit to cooperatives but leveraging blockchain technology, ensures that power and decision-making are distributed among all stakeholders. We're currently collaborating with legal and tokenomics experts to refine this vision. Importantly, the final structure will be determined collectively, staying true to our commitment to decentralization and community ownership.
Otonom focuses on AI projects with high potential for global impact. We primarily support ventures in:
-
Education: AI-powered learning platforms, personalized education tools
-
Healthcare: AI for diagnostics, treatment planning, drug discovery
-
Business Automation: AI solutions for improving efficiency and decision-making
We're particularly interested in projects that address fundamental systemic problems and have the potential to scale globally. Our AI-powered selection process helps identify the most promising ventures in these areas.
-
The AI Startup School is a cornerstone of Project Otonom, offering a comprehensive 6-week training program (18 hours total, 3 hours per week) designed for tech entrepreneurs. Here's what you need to know:
-
Purpose: We bridge the gap between technical expertise and the skills needed to lead and scale a high-tech company.
-
Curriculum: The program uses a systematic approach, incorporating US experiences and an extensive case study of Apple, Inc. (the "Apple Deep Dive").
-
Hands-on Learning: Participants apply learnings directly to their own projects, receiving instant feedback. Those without projects can contribute to Otonom itself.
-
Selection Process: The school serves as a selection mechanism for Otonom funding, allowing us to thoroughly evaluate projects and teams.
-
Acceleration: Following the 6-week training, selected projects enter a 6-week acceleration phase with support from our core team and Otonom Studio.
-
Financial Model:
-
All participants pay the full fee upfront.
-
Selected teams are reimbursed.
-
Contributors to Otonom without their own projects not only get reimbursed but also receive additional benefits through airdrops.
-
This model ensures that everyone benefits, whether their project is selected or they choose to contribute to Otonom directly.

Entrepreneurs will participate in quarterly batches with a simple pre-application. Unlike other capital owners, we will be working with a highly structured and efficient process.

By utilizing science and technology to the fullest, we will both shorten the processes and increase the probability of accuracy and success of the selected projects. Moreover, selected entrepreneurs will receive the 6-week AI Startup School training free of charge. This training will also form the backbone of the selection process, as it gives us the opportunity to get to know you and your project better.
