Problem
Retail investors lack access to pre-IPO private‑market deals, which are typically allocated only to funds, institutions, and insiders, leaving a large portion of the market untapped.
Solution
Hecto Finance creates a tokenized index that aggregates shares of six leading private‑tech companies before they go public. The index is issued as a single on‑chain token (HECTO) on the Canton blockchain, enabling anyone with a compatible wallet to acquire exposure through a simple swap. Token holders can allocate their HECTO tokens across the six underlying “Hectocorns,” lock tokens to influence daily portfolio composition, and earn rewards based on early participation and performance. The platform provides transparent, real‑time pricing and a competitive, gamified allocation mechanism that democratizes access to pre‑IPO opportunities.
Target Audience
The primary audience consists of retail cryptocurrency investors and crypto‑savvy traders seeking exposure to private‑market tech companies before they list publicly.
