In Collaboration with @pumpdotfun | Introducing: Spotlight

Announcing ICM.RUN’s Public Goods Initiative on Solana

As a public goods DAO focused on Internet Capital Markets (ICM), our mission is clear: support tokenized founders with tools, visibility, and incubation infrastructure.

This initiative is about creating value without extracting it. It’s a movement to champion serious builders, inspire legitimacy, and solidify the Internet Capital Markets narrative as a powerful force in crypto.

Introducing @pumpspotlight

In partnership with Pump.fun, the premiere launchpad for community tokens and memecoins, @pumpdotfun created Spotlight — an initiative to highlight and support post-TGE (token generation event) founders building real projects in public.

Pump.fun has already proven its capacity to generate massive liquidity and community attention for token launches. It has:

• Generated $850M+ in platform revenue
• Facilitated over 13M token launches
• Fueled one of the largest ICOs in crypto history, raising over $1.3B

But now, a new chapter begins. As utility token projects emerge from memecoin culture, Spotlight aims to accelerate the serious builders building real public goods.

Spotlight provides:

• Amplified visibility via affiliated accounts and distribution on X
• Access to strategy and comms advisory from ICM.run and Pump.fun veterans
• Speaking and media opportunities, from Twitter Spaces to livestreams & more
• A curated community of post-TGE founders
• Ongoing support for go-to-market planning, and long-term viability

Why Launch ICM Projects on Pump.fun?

Pump.fun changed the game by removing the barriers to token creation. But what started as a memecoin playground has evolved into a legitimate platform for early-stage startups, offering:

• Instant liquidity via dynamic fee models and deep user networks
• Massive attention for projects with real ambition
• Bootstrapping for distribution, user traction, and community alignment

And thanks to Spotlight, that same infrastructure is now available to ICM founders with long-term visions. Spotlight further lowers the barrier for serious projects — especially those not looking to just extract creator fees but to sustain and grow a meaningful token economy.

What ICM.run Brings to the Table

ICM.run acts as an incubator and public goods steward, committed to:

• Educating founders on token utility, supply control, and roadmap planning
• Supporting non-crypto-native teams to transition into the onchain world
• Helping maintain post-launch momentum beyond the initial hype cycle
• Creating a robust network of ICM-aligned builders

From Project Crypto (SEC) to the recent rise of AI-focused tokens, we’ve seen that serious ICM projects need more than a launch; they need structure, storytelling, and sustainable growth models.

The Infrastructure That Matters

Per the core Pump.fun team, the future of token launches must address:

• Discoverability: Investors need early access to high-upside projects
• Liquidity: Founders must unlock capital without over-optimizing for fees
• Comms Strategy: Without consistent storytelling, projects fade fast
• Onboarding: Non-native teams need tailored support from 0 → 1
• Tokenomics & Incentives: Founders need meaningful ownership, aligned with community expectations

Spotlight solves for all of these — and ICM.run is here to support it!

Ready to Join?

Whether you’re already post-TGE or considering your first launch, we’re here to provide real support.

The Future of Internet Capital Markets

We believe that trillions of dollars in startup capital will move onchain in the coming years — and that the most successful teams will come from the trenches, bootstrapped by the community.

Our mission is to ensure those teams succeed; by providing public goods, strategic support, and a spotlight to shine under.

This is only the beginning. There’s much more to come.
