Hey guys, have you ever noticed that sometimes during a performance, the audience only gets really excited until the last scene?

The first half was unremarkable, but the second half was filled with thunderous applause. Human nature is like this: we often only realize the existence of value in that moment of "countdown to the end."

@playAInetwork's fundraising on the Kaito Launchpad is a real-life "plot twist."

After the fundraising opened on September 8th, progress was slow for several consecutive days—at one point only 65% was completed, and there was hardly any reaction from the market. However, just in the last 48 hours before the deadline, the situation suddenly reversed: KOLs concentrated their recommendations, the valuation advantage was rediscovered, and the FOMO mentality exploded, causing the fundraising amount to soar from 1.3M to 2.13M, not only meeting the target but exceeding it by 6.5%.

I dug into the reasons:
At first, @playAInetwork was misjudged as "niche." There was little discussion in the Chinese-speaking community, insufficient dissemination of valuation advantages, and competing products on the same platform as Limitless diverted attention.

But over time, the triple logic began to ferment:
🔸First, the 50M FDV is lower than the seed round 70M, allowing the community to enter at a price lower than VC for the first time.
🔸Secondly, the terms of the 50% TGE unlock are far superior to similar projects, attracting both short-term and medium-term investors.
🔸Finally, when the endorsements from institutions like Jump Crypto and Polygon Ventures are mentioned again, the label of "undervalued" is completely torn off.

As a result, investors have shifted from watching to pouring in, and Play AI has completed its transition from a market cold spot to a community hot spot.

Later, I came to realize that it was either a lack of money or a missed opportunity. This story tells us:

The success of fundraising is not just about the flow of funds, but also about the time difference in cognition at play. Everyone who participates in Kaito Launchpad must pay attention; in an age of information explosion, real opportunities often exist in moments that have 'not yet been discovered.' One must learn to see the logic in quiet times and place bets on beliefs before the noise starts. Let's work hard together!
