ICM.RUN Incubator Overview

ICM.RUN is the first ICM-focused incubator on Solana, supporting ecosystems such as @believeapp and @MeteoraAG. Our mission is to accelerate high-impact teams entering web3 for the first time.

Who We Are

The ICM.RUN incubator is powered by a roster of mentors and contributors drawn from across Web3, Solana, DeFi, AI, RWA, Tokenization, and ICM. Each mentor brings unique expertise to guide founders through:

• Token launches

• Ecosystem building

• Scaling into sustainable, long-term growth

Why It Matters

Many emerging Web2 teams entering Web3 face a lack of reputation capital and domain knowledge compared to their predecessors. This often results in:

• Amateur mistakes in token design and launch execution

• Momentum loss that undermines the benefits of tokenization

• Founders feeling betrayed or disillusioned, leading them to leave the space

By addressing these challenges directly, ICM.RUN ensures founders avoid costly pitfalls and instead gain the reputation, support, and strategy they need to succeed.

How It Works

1. Application Prospective ICM founders apply to join the ICM.RUN incubator.

2. Mentor Review Applications are shared with a random sample of mentors, who vote and provide feedback.

3. Acceptance & Commitment Accepted teams commit 1–5% of their total token supply to the DAO treasury.

4. Incubation Support The General Manager and mentors guide founders via dedicated actioning channels, helping with:

   • Rollout planning

   • Go-to-market strategy

   • Tokenomics and token design

   • Advisory support from mentors and contributors

Alignment of Incentives

To ensure strong alignment between mentors, contributors, and founders:

• DAO Launch: ICM.RUN will launch as a DAO on daos.fun.

• Mentor & Contributor Allocation: Each receives a 1:1 DAO token allocation.

• Treasury Growth: Each incubated project contributes 1–5% of supply into the DAO treasury.

• End-of-DAO Distribution: At the end of the DAO’s cycle, tokens will be claimable 1:1, with the treasury distributed equally among token holders.

This structure guarantees that the success of incubated projects = shared success for the DAO community.

✅ Key Opportunity: By combining Solana’s scalability, expert mentorship, and DAO-aligned incentives, ICM.RUN is positioned as the leading launchpad for ICM-focused teams, building the next wave of high-value projects in Web3.
