You're now plugged in to the Delphi podcast. Everyone. Nice to have everyone here. This is the Delphi podcast. I got my partner, Jan, with me. I'm Anil, CEO of Delphi, and we got a special guest today, Noah, one of the founders of Pumped Out Fun. Now, obviously, I'd say that, like, basically, our whole audience knows what Pumped Out Fun is, but maybe, Yan, you can kinda set the stage, give everyone maybe some stats or some overview of what Pumped Out Fun is, and then we can pass it on over over to Noah.
Yeah. Pump, for those unaware, launched last year and kind of took over the scene. They were doing insane numbers in in q four, and, they had one of the most kind of anticipated token launches. They raised a gargantuan amount of money in the beginning of this year. And and so the token traded up, then it traded down, and and now we're we're back to about 10% above ICO price. From a market share perspective, they were the dominant launch pad. And then there was a period where Bonk kinda took over. And and since then, they've recaptured that market share. You know, looking at at trailing numbers
Sounds good.
And oh, yeah.
Cool. And I'd say, like, obviously, some disclosures, like, Jan and I have bump backs, if that's not already clear. We've been really excited to, you know, chat with Noah about this because I think everyone, you know, ends on CT and everything like that knows about, like, Elon and everything like that. But I think Noah has been, like, really helpful to talk to to get a really good understanding of, like, Pump's role in crypto, both how it can grow within crypto, but also how it can kinda grow crypto itself. So really, you know, Noah, it'd be great to kinda start with your background, how you e
Sounds good. I mean, yeah, I think some people will know me probably more from more from, like, the investment facing side of things. That's kinda been my role, sort of all that sort of thing. So my face and, I guess, my persona is very much sort of more private. But we thought now is a good time to sort of speak about the products and sort of show different viewpoints, I guess, from from internally. Because I think when a lot of people see Pump, they see sort of, obviously, Arlen on Twitter and then the sort of corporate account, which I think is doing, like, a really, really great job sort o
Nice. Yeah. I'm I'm curious how you ended up with you know, obviously, the whole product around Pump was to, you know, disincentivize rugs. Right? It was kinda like the whole service that was provided. And, obviously, it found product market fit, like, really quickly both within crypto and outside of crypto. I'm curious, like, what was the journey to get there? Why was this the killer product that you kinda saw? And then
For sure.
What were the learnings from that? You know, both pre token and then, obviously, you know, we've seen this time and time again both with our port goes, with our consulting clients. Like, once you launch a token, it's like a whole other beast. Right? And, you know, a lot of teams, you can use it as like a fuel on the fire, but it also becomes a distraction at a certain point. So I'm kinda curious about that life cycle and how you guys thought about the product p pre and post token.
