Gaia has been in the work for more than 21 months, fulfilling the project age requirement. Our primary focus is on climate solutions, as evidenced by our commitment to making accessible impact investing in climate startups through our simple platform. Gaia contributes to mitigating climate change as it will play an important role in the core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.  \n\n\nProblem & Solution:\nGaia offers a comprehensive solution to address the climate finance gap faced by the private sector. Renowned international organizations such as the UN, WEF, OECD, and others have identified a staggering annual shortfall of $630 billion in climate finance required to sustain the 1.5\u00b0C pathway. The primary challenge that Gaia seeks to overcome is the scarcity of impact investment opportunities for the private sector, which is compounded by the requirement of substantial capital to participate.\n\nGaia\u2019s groundbreaking impact investing platform transcends borders, eliminating the need for KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, and empowers individuals worldwide to invest in climate startups without any capital requirements.\n\n\nFunds Allocation Update:\nThe initial $5,000 garnered from this round would be allocated to fortify the liquidity pool, a move aimed at enhancing the experience for all Gaia users.\nMoreover, any surplus funds exceeding the $5,000 mark would be strategically channelled into Gaia's marketing initiatives. This encompasses multifaceted approaches, including fostering Gaia\u2019s community\u2019s expansion through giveaways and special offerings, orchestrating community engagement activities such as contests, as well as facilitating paid marketing campaigns utilizing the influence of micro-influencers.\nThese fund allocations and their subsequent outcomes will be transparently communicated via Gaia's official communication channels, prominently featured on both the #announcements section of Gaia's Discord channel, as well as through updates shared on Gaia's official Twitter account.\n\n\n\n\nTimeline:\n1/ Token creation & Launchpads\nCreate the ERC20 GAIA token. Apply and reach out to launchpads operating on the Ethereum network. Agree on a specific Initial Coin Offering date.

Specific KPIs will be published and reported on frequently for each distinct investment.\n\n\nExamples of impact measurement include:\n\n\nGHG Emissions Reduction: Gaia will track and report the cumulative reduction in GHG emissions achieved by the portfolio of cleantech startups funded through the platform.\n\n\nStartup Success: Gaia evaluates the success of startups in its portfolio by measuring their growth metrics, such as revenue growth, customer acquisition, and adoption rates.
