Draft Pick
Test traction. Get feedback. Launch smarter.
Draft Pick is BorgPad’s curation layer — where selected projects are publicly showcased to gauge interest, assess investor quality, and validate their readiness to launch.
🎯 What is Draft Pick?
A public shortlist of promising projects that have caught our attention. It’s the first step before a full-scale launch — a way to test the waters and collect early signals from the community.
🩺 Why It Matters
For projects, Draft Pick acts as a Health Check:
Do investors show interest?
What kind of investors are engaging?
Is the positioning strong enough?
Are the KPIs compelling?
This step allows founders to:
Measure traction (investor count, wallet quality, early commits)
Get strategic feedback before it’s too late
Adjust tokenomics or go-to-market based on real-world signals
For BorgPad, it helps us:
Identify which projects are community-validated
Design tailored launch strategies (e.g. LBP format, pricing model, timing)
Better allocate resources toward high-potential teams
🔧 What Happens After?
Projects in Draft Pick may:
Receive offers for incubation, grants, or liquidity support
Get introduced to the BorgPad ecosystem (partners, investors, tooling)
Be onboarded into a custom launch flow (Floor, Float, or Fixed FDV etc.)
🗳️ Community Role
As a BorgPad investor or contributor, you can:
Discover early-stage gems before the market does
Express interest or commit capital early
Help shape the future of Web3 by backing projects that matter
🧪 Commit to show support
When a project enters Draft Pick, users can submit a paid commitment (0.005 SOL) to signal genuine interest.
This serves multiple purposes:
Filters out bots and spam
Helps us assess wallet quality and engagement
Provides a reliable traction score to guide launch decisions
🎟️ Bonus: Early commitment = Whitelist spot
Users who commit during Draft Pick are eligible to be whitelisted for the future launch of that project — giving them priority access when it goes live.
Your commitment is not an investment — it’s a signal.
And the projects are watching.
