Kaito Capital’s first Launchpad project, Espresso, is raising $4M at a $400M valuation. Terms: 0% at TGE. 12-month cliff. Full unlock over 24 months. Hard to see the upside here. $60M already raised privately, and Series B valuation likely < $180M, yet retail is expected to buy https://t.co/QFnE5iLSIx
