**Jurassic Finance: Tokenizing Museum-Grade Dinosaur Fossils on Solana**
Jurassic Finance Labs is raising to build, operate, and scale the platform that brings Sotheby's-level collectibles to retail. Jurassic Finance is for anyone who wants exposure to the alternative assets that have historically been locked behind the multi million dollar minimums.
**What we're building**
Jurassic Finance Labs will originate, authenticate, and structure individual fossil SPVs. Each SPV is a standalone vehicle with its own token, holding legally enforceable fractional ownership of a single authenticated specimen.
$RAWR is the governance and ownership token of the Labs entity. $RAWR holders also govern every SPV the Labs entity launches, meaning a single $RAWR position carries governance rights across the full Jurassic Finance fossil portfolio, not just the Labs operating treasury.
**Use of Funds**
**Raise I** — Jurassic Finance Labs:
- 50% — 12 months of runway (team, operations, infrastructure)
- 12.5% — Legal fees (SPV structuring, Cayman setup, regulatory counsel)
- 37.5% — Strategic FOSSIL fund (seed capital for business model proposals — buybacks, lending market liquidity, bootstrapping)
**Raise II** — First SPV ($1M, Q3 2026):
A separate raise to acquire the inaugural authenticated Triceratops head. $TRCH1 holders receive direct economic rights to the underlying specimen. Not part of this Futardio round.
**Monthly Allowance**
The team operates on a defined monthly allowance of $8,000. Any expenditure beyond that requires a futarchy proposal and market approval.
**Why fossils**
- The only major collectible asset class with no fractional infrastructure
- Authenticated specimens are scarce, finite, and provenance-verifiable
- Auction prices have been breaking ceilings — 9-figure sales are now routine
- Universally legible — everyone understands what a T-Rex skull is
- High-margin, low-frequency acquisitions suit transparent on-chain reporting
- Crossover appeal between crypto-native buyers and traditional collectors
**Upside case**
We're not selling a 100x venture outcome. We're selling a real business with a clear path to a $20M–$50M operating entity over 3–5 years.
The math: a single mid-tier fossil SPV ($1M–$5M acquisition) generates origination fees, ongoing platform fees, and lending market spread for the Labs entity. Five to ten SPVs over 24 months, a realistic pipeline given current authenticated supply, produces enough recurring fee income to compound the treasury without further dilution. The lending market against SPV tokens (Q4 2026) adds a second revenue stream that scales with TVL.
A $400K–$500K FDV at launch with $RAWR governing the full portfolio means the math works for Futardio investors at outcomes far short of unicorn territory. We've designed this to be fundable on its actual probability of success, not on a tail-risk distribution.
**Demand**
- Support from Solana Foundation, Toly, and other ecosystem leaders
- 100+ inbound inquiries from potential advisors, investors, and funds
- Organic traction: 3,300+ waitlist signups, 1,400+ followers, 150K+ X impressions in 25 days
- Public endorsements from operators across Solana Labs, Solana Foundation, Umbra Privacy, Phase, USDT0, Jupiter, and others
Rally has $500M in assets and Masterworks has 880K users, both proving one thing: people desperately want access to high-value collectibles they'd never afford outright. Both are Web2, centralized platforms with no onchain ownership, no secondary liquidity, and no value accrual while you hold. Their assets sit in a warehouse collecting dust, while ours are displayed in museums gaining value through scientific research, press coverage, and public exposure.
**What we've done so far**
- Completed investor deck and public-facing thesis article
- Built full visual identity system
- Cayman SPV structure scoped with legal counsel
- Domain, brand, and core social channels live (jurassic.finance, @JurassicFi)
- Validated demand: 3,300+ waitlist signups and 100+ inbound inquiries pre-launch
- Preparing submissions for Colosseum Frontier (deadline May 11)
**Team**

We've spent the last three years operating publicly on Solana. Communicating with markets, holders, and ecosystem partners is the day job. Public-by-default is how we already work.
**Emergency authority**
If a specimen is at imminent physical or legal risk — fire, theft, regulatory seizure, transit failure — the team is authorized to act unilaterally to protect the asset and ratify the action with governance retroactively. This is a narrow clause limited to asset protection, not strategic decisions.
**Specimen sale lockup**
Once a specimen is acquired by the Labs entity or an associated SPV, no proposal to sell that specimen may be brought to governance for a minimum of 24 months from the acquisition date. This protects against short-horizon market behavior and ensures specimens have time to appreciate and build narrative value before any liquidity event is considered.
**Roadmap**
- **May 8, 2026**: MetaDAO permissionless ICO opens — $RAWR — $200K target, 7-day window
- **May 11, 2026**: Colosseum Frontier hackathon submission deadline. SuperteamBLKN Buildstation participation
**Q3 2026**
- First SPV — Triceratops head ($TRCH1), managed by $RAWR. ~$1M raise to acquire the first authenticated fossil and tokenize it on Solana. Launch the Jurassic Finance Labs Strategic
- Reserve — 15% of treasury used to buy back $TRCH1 from early sellers at ~$0.80 on the dollar (terms subject to refinement)
**Q4 2026**
- Launch lending-borrow market against SPV tokens at 50% LTV, 15% APR. Funded by the Jurassic Finance Labs Strategic Reserve
**2027**
- Launch multiple SPVs across additional specimens. Launch liquid marketplace for SPV token secondary trading
*All figures are approximate and subject to change. Expenditures beyond the monthly allowance require futarchy approval.
**Long-term vision**
The goal is to prove that decentralized governance can coordinate the origination, custody, and fractionalization of real-world collectibles transparently, starting with the most universally recognized asset class no one can own.
Worst case, a fully transparent, community-governed fossil tokenization platform. Best case, a blueprint for futarchy-directed RWA infrastructure across every asset class that has been gated by capital, geography, or institutional access.
This is finance rebuilt for the past.
