💼 Just explored Long—and it’s a breath of fresh air in the world of startup investing. It strips away the gatekeeping and hype that usually surrounds early-stage deals, and replaces it with something rare: access and fairness.
What really stood out to me is the permissionless approach. Anyone, not just VCs or insiders, can support ambitious startups from day one. That’s a big shift—and honestly, a necessary one. More transparency, more opportunities, more people involved in shaping the next wave of innovation.
The platform feels designed for those who believe in long-term impact rather than quick exits. It’s simple, clean, and focused on empowering both founders and early backers. That alignment of values is what makes Long special.
We need more tools like this—ones that put power back in the hands of people who genuinely care about what gets built.
(Also, I’m currently open to frontend roles! If you’re building future-facing tools like Long and need someone passionate about product and clean UI, feel free to check out my work:

Hey — appreciate you testing Long. I actually tried to DM you right after your test project, but your X account is locked and there’s no LinkedIn, so couldn’t follow up.
A few important points:
Long is just a UI for a trustless, decentralized protocol. We don’t own or control the tokens — they’re immutably deployed onchain. That said, we actively monitor for scams and can block misleading tokens on the front end.
To prove a project is legit, founders are expected to link a tweet or site after launching. If there's no public signal, we treat it as an unlabeled test.
Launching is free — you’re welcome to run more experiments.
If you have further feedback or ideas, always happy to chat.
