2. Project Overview

2.1 The Adventure Collective

The Adventure Collective is the overarching brand behind LaunchPad. We believe that life-changing adventures should be accessible to anyone bold enough to pursue them. By leveraging web3 technologies, we’re bridging the gap between traditional crowdfunding and decentralized finance—while celebrating a culture of exploration and discovery.

2.2 LaunchPad Platform

The LaunchPad Platform is a specialized crowdfunding site for adventurers:

• Adventurers create campaigns detailing their dream expeditions (e.g., climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, kayaking the Pacific, trekking across South America).
• Backers (Launchers) pledge support via Stripe (fiat payments) or LaunchPad Token (PAD).
• A portion of PAD tokens is gradually sold to boost deserving campaigns, ensuring more adventures succeed.
