Arubaito x The PIPE gDAO:
Bridging the Gap Between University Brilliance and Web3 Innovation
At Arubaito, we’re excited to announce our partnership with The PIPE gDAO , a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) on a mission to bridge the gap between groundbreaking university research and real-world application. We share a passion for empowering individuals to find purpose-driven work within the dynamic Web3 landscape.
The Challenge: From University Lab to Market Launch
Universities are powerhouses of innovation. Technologies like the life-saving laser (invented at Bell Labs, a university affiliate) and the internet itself (developed by DARPA, a U.S. Department of Defense agency with strong ties to academia) all have their roots in university research. However, brilliant ideas often get trapped in the ivory tower, struggling to navigate the complex path to commercialization.
Traditionally, venture capitalists (VCs) play a crucial role in funding startups. But VCs often prioritiSe high-risk, high-reward investments, seeking a 10x return on investment (ROI) or more. University projects, while groundbreaking, may offer a more modest 2-4x ROI, making them less attractive to VCs. This leaves many promising ideas languishing on the shelf.
The PIPE Solution: Empowering University Innovation in Web3
The PIPE gDAO offers a revolutionary solution through The PIPE Platform. Functions as a comprehensive business plan with clear milestones, guiding university inventions from concept to market launch. Industry professionals from across the globe contribute their expertise, evaluating and validating the projects through a rigorous process called QED (Question, Evaluate, Decide). This robust filter system helps identify strong projects with high commercialization potential, minimizing investment risk for Web3 investors.
Funding the Future:
The PIPE General Fund and Web3 Investment
The PIPE General Fund (PGF) acts as a launchpad, facilitating crowdfunding in USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) from Web3 investors. This funding fuels the entire journey of promising university projects, from initial idea to market presence.
For Web3 investors, the PIPE gDAO offers an attractive opportunity:
🟢 RWA Exposure: Gain exposure to the real-world asset (RWA) class by investing in university projects with real-world commercialization potential. As the share value of these ventures rises, so does the potential return for investors.
🟢 Stablecoin Investment: Invest in USDC, a stablecoin that minimises the volatility often associated with cryptocurrency markets.
🟢 Predictable ROI: The PIPE gDAO targets a 2-4x ROI for each project, offering a potentially lucrative return compared to traditional investment options.
🟢 High Volume Potential: With a capacity to support 100 projects annually, the PIPE gDAO opens doors for significant returns by simply contributing USDC to the launchpad pool.
University Innovation:
Higher Success Rates and Reduced Risk
One of the key advantages of investing in university projects is their inherently higher Technology-Readiness Level (TRL). TRL is a metric that goes beyond simple research years and assesses the actual development stage of a technology. University projects often have a more advanced TRL compared to those from the private sector, making them more likely to survive the crucial early stages and ultimately generate a return on investment.
