Rebranding & Growth Strategy for a Decentralized Oracle Solution
A decentralized oracle provider on the Algorand blockchain needed to establish its brand, attract investors, and secure funding—all without a working product. Facing low brand recognition and investor skepticism, I led a full-scale rebrand, strategic messaging overhaul, and community engagement campaign to position the company as an industry leader.
By developing a compelling brand identity, investor materials, and targeted fundraising strategy, we successfully:
-
Secured $1.5 million in pre-seed funding, surpassing expectations.
-
Built a strong presence in the Algorand ecosystem through thought leadership and media placements.
-
Engaged investors and developers, creating momentum ahead of the product launch.
