Pump Foundation

How we work

The Foundation

Established MMXXVI · Buy, publish, support

Across almost every major sector there are venture funds, foundations and investment groups whose entire purpose is to spot promising things early, put capital behind them, and help them grow. Memecoins launch by the thousand every day and have never had one.

That is what this is. We find projects we believe deserve attention, buy into them, support them publicly, and build something around helping them succeed. Rather than buying a coin and waiting, we give projects resources that actually extend their reach.

What you can see

Five things, published on this site and kept current.

  1. 01

    Foundation Holdings

    Every project and asset we have bought into, on one wall, sized by how much we put in.

  2. 02

    Entry Points

    The day we bought and the market cap we bought at. If you are later than us, you can see exactly how much later.

  3. 03

    Investment Thesis

    Why we believe a project has potential, written down and dated at the time we bought.

  4. 04

    Foundation Prospects

    What we are researching right now, including what we turned down and the reason.

  5. 05

    Growth Support

    What we are actually doing for each project — produced by us, paid for by us.

Growth support

What a project gets once we are in. Marketing, social, community, raiding, distribution, networking and exposure — the parts most devs cannot buy for themselves.

Marketing

Edits, posters, documentaries and print runs. We produce them, we pay for them, and the project keeps them.

Social & community

Daily posting, a raid roster our own holders keep to, and moderation help through the first month.

Distribution

Placement with clip accounts, podcasts and video essayists we already work with. Introductions, not paid mentions.

Networking

Introductions to launchpads, market makers, exchanges, and the other projects we hold.

What we will not do

Six rules. They exist so that when our wallet turns up in a holder list, you know exactly what that means — and what it rules out.

  1. I

    We publish every entry

    The day and the market cap, for every position. We do not hold coins quietly and we do not talk about a project publicly without showing our own entry first.

  2. II

    We never take payment to look at a project

    No paid consideration, no sold coverage, no deals where a project pays us for attention. Support is produced at our cost and the project keeps it.

  3. III

    We never announce a position we have not taken

    Anyone who asks us to gets logged in Prospects and declined. There is one in there now.

  4. IV

    We buy on the open market

    No allocations, no discounts, no arrangements with the dev. We pay what you would pay, on the same day we publish it.

  5. V

    Losers stay up

    A position that goes badly keeps its number and stays in the book. Editing the record would destroy the only thing we have.

  6. VI

    We publish why we sold

    At the same size as the reason we bought, with the loss or gain booked against the totals on the front page.

The token

How all of this gets paid for.

$FOUNDATION

Creator fees fund the Foundation. The Foundation buys the holdings. The holdings are on the front page with the price we paid — that is the receipt, updated the same day we buy.

Holding $FOUNDATION is holding the wallet that does the buying. Not a promise of a product later: a book of positions you can check right now, losers included.

The mint address goes up on launch day at the bottom of this site, and nowhere else. Anything else claiming to be $FOUNDATION is not.

Everyone is hunting the next meta. We would rather fund the projects that start it — and get the Foundation wallet to the point where seeing it in a holder list tells you a project has been looked at properly and is about to get real help.
