Why This Deal
Stands Out
Four data-backed reasons Fuzzin is different from the thousands of pre-seed decks investors pass on every year. Click each card to dive deeper.
8,972 Sessions in 30 Days — Users Keep Coming Back
~6 sessions per user per month proves this isn't a download-and-forget app. Users are actively returning, engaging, and building habits.
In the last 30 days, Fuzzin logged 8,972 sessions across 1,506 monthly active users — that's ~6 sessions per user per month. For a pre-seed consumer social app with no push notification optimization and minimal retention engineering, this engagement depth is remarkable. For comparison, the average consumer app sees 1-2 monthly sessions per user at this stage. The streak mechanic and token rewards are driving voluntary repeat behavior, proving that the core loop (create → earn → spend → return) works before any optimization.
$2.37 CPI — 84% Drop in 6 Weeks
Acquisition cost dropped from $14.95 to $2.37 in six weeks. Channel-market fit is proven. The only missing variable is capital.
CPI optimization followed a systematic testing approach across Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, and UGC creator partnerships. Week 1 CPI was $14.95 (cold start). By week 6, through creative iteration, audience refinement, and UGC-driven content, CPI dropped to $2.37 — an 84% reduction. UGC creator videos proved to be the highest-converting channel. For context: BeReal's estimated early CPI was $3-5, Lemon8 (ByteDance) spent $4-8 per install in the US, and most consumer social apps at pre-seed pay $5-15 per install. Fuzzin's $2.37 CPI is already in the top quartile of acquisition efficiency.
1,188 Videos in 30 Days — 79% of Users Create Content
Most social apps have a 90/9/1 rule (90% lurk). Fuzzin flips it: nearly 80% of users actively post videos.
1,188 videos posted in the last 30 days across 1,506 MAU means a content creation rate of ~79%. For context, on TikTok, only about 1-5% of users ever create content. Instagram's creation rate is under 10%. Twitter's is around 20% of monthly users. Fuzzin's 79% creation rate is not an error — it's a consequence of the token economy. When every video you post earns you real tokens, the incentive to create flips from "why bother" to "why wouldn't I?" This is the exact behavior shift the token model was designed to produce, and it's working.
$2M Valuation — Below Every Comparable
Companies with zero traction raised at $4-12M. Fuzzin is raising at $2M with proven engagement, a live economy, and 8,972 monthly sessions.
Comparable pre-seed social apps (Favs, Spoony, Seam Social, BeReal early rounds, TTYL/Poparazzi) raised at valuations ranging from $4M to $12M — most with zero or minimal traction at the time of raise. Fuzzin is raising at $2M pre-money with 8,972 sessions in 30 days, 1,188 videos created, daily habit formation, the lowest CPI in the category, and a functioning token economy with 27.2K tokens across 413 holders. This represents a 2-6x valuation discount relative to comparable raises, offering investors a significantly de-risked entry point with strong upside potential to Seed at $5-12M within 12-18 months.
The bottom line
8,972 sessions in 30 days. 1,188 videos created. 79% content creation rate. $2.37 CPI. A live token economy with 413 holders. And a $2M valuation — below every comparable. The risk-adjusted entry is the best it will ever be.

Why We Built Fuzzin
The founding story — what problem we saw, why existing solutions fail, and how Fuzzin changes the game.
How the Product Works
A live walkthrough of the Fuzzin experience — from posting to earning, in under 3 minutes.
$250B+ in value created.
Creators get <2%.
Social media generates hundreds of billions in revenue from user-created content and user attention. Click each card to learn more.
Broken Economics
Creators produce all the value but platforms keep 98%+ of the revenue. The economics are extractive by design.
TikTok generated $16B in ad revenue in 2023 — creators saw less than 2% of it. YouTube takes 45%. Instagram pays nothing for Reels. Even TikTok's Creator Fund pays as little as $0.02–$0.04 per 1,000 views, making it nearly impossible for creators to sustain themselves without brand deals. The entire economic model of social media is built on extracting value from creators and users while returning almost none of it.
Zero Value Attribution
Every scroll, like, and share generates real economic value — but zero is attributed back to the people who created it.
Every interaction on social media — every scroll, like, share, comment, and follow — generates measurable economic value. Platforms use this data to sell ads, train algorithms, and drive engagement loops that generate billions in revenue. Yet zero of this value is tracked, attributed, or returned to the users and creators who generate it. There is no "attention accounting" layer in social media. Fuzzin builds exactly this — a transparent attribution system where every interaction has a measurable, tokenized value.
Platform Lock-In
Creators build audiences on rented land. One algorithm change can wipe out years of work overnight.
No data portability, no recourse, no ownership. 30% of full-time creators experienced a >50% reach drop in 2024 from algorithm changes alone. Creators have zero control over their distribution, zero ownership of their audience relationships, and zero ability to take their following to another platform. When a platform decides to change its algorithm — which happens regularly — creators can lose their entire income overnight with no explanation and no appeal process.
The 60-Second Pitch
Core thesis, traction, and the ask — in six slides.
Platforms capture 100% of the economic value generated by user attention. Creators get scraps.
$250B+ in annual ad revenue flows through social platforms. Creators — the people who generate all of it — receive less than 2%. The value attribution layer doesn't exist yet.

The Product Flywheel
A self-reinforcing economic engine where every interaction creates and distributes real value.
Network Contribution Model
The 60% platform cut is reframed as "Network Contribution" — the cost of distribution, discovery, and monetization infrastructure. Every token represents real value exchanged.
Viewers earn Token Credits for watching and engaging. Attention converts to spendable currency.
10 tokens = 2,500 view boost. Direct reach injection into the discovery engine.
Token Flow
Vanity metrics are broken.
Value can't be faked.
Followers, likes, and views are easily manipulated and tell you nothing about what an audience is actually worth. Fuzzin replaces these hollow signals with real, market-driven value.
What Everyone Competes On Today
Easily inflated by bots and clickbait. A million views with zero intent is worth nothing to advertisers.
A passive tap that says nothing about purchase intent, watch time, or audience quality.
A 10K account with engaged fans outperforms a 1M meme page. Follower count has lost all meaning.
"People don't trust followers anymore. A 10K Instagram account with truly engaged fans is worth more than a 1 million follower meme page. Likes don't mean much either."
What Actually Determines Worth
US audiences have 5–10× higher eCPM than emerging markets. Value reflects real advertiser demand.
Finance content commands $30+ eCPM. Entertainment sits at $3. True value depends on what the audience wants to buy.
Completed views with high retention signal real attention — the currency advertisers actually pay for.
The ultimate measure: what would a brand pay to reach this exact audience? That is VALUE. Not a like count.
VALUE = what advertisers would pay for it.
It's determined by the market itself. It can't be manipulated.
Traditional Platforms Solved Value.
They Just Don't Share It.
Every major social platform has built sophisticated ad engines that determine exactly what an audience is worth — by geography, niche, watch time, and dozens of other factors. But they keep users completely disconnected from that value. Users compete on vanity metrics while the platform captures all the economic upside.
Traditional Platforms
- ✕Users chase likes and followers
- ✕Platform captures all ad revenue
- ✕No incentive to create real value
- ✕Users and platform have misaligned goals
Fuzzin
- ✓Users see the real value they create
- ✓Revenue is shared with creators
- ✓Users are incentivized to maximize real value
- ✓Platform and users win together
The Flywheel Effect
When users get paid based on real value, they become as invested in the platform's success as the platform itself. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle that drives everything up.
Better Ad Revenue
When users optimize for real value instead of vanity metrics, the content and audiences they build are exactly what advertisers want to pay premium rates for.
Better Retention
Users who earn based on the real value they create have skin in the game. They stay, they engage, they build — because the platform's success is their success.
Changed User Behavior
Value-conscious creators drive up eCPMs, create higher-quality content, and compete on substance — not on gaming an algorithm for empty metrics.
