I must admit you hit the spot on this feedback, especially the chicken-and-egg problem.
My strategy is split in 3 parts
- Bubble up approach, present Angor to local bitcoin meetups/events and try to attract small projects to it.
- Sponsor Hackathons and Grants instead of marketing.
- Try to focus on emerging markets where regulation is lacking.
Tried out @npub1wrzg...cm02 over the weekend -- very cool project
I don't envy the job they have ahead of them
Fundraising platforms have a lot of moving parts, attract crappy users (scammers & virtue signalers), suffer from a killer chicken-and-egg problem, and are difficult to make sustainable (often need to be donation based themselves)
But they've made an excellent start, and their platform is very impressive on a technical level
