Headstarter is a decentralized fundraising platform and launchpad built exclusively for the Hedera network. Its primary purpose is to accelerate the growth of the Hedera ecosystem by providing a secure and streamlined environment for new projects to raise capital and build an initial community.
The platform operates on a tier-based system centered around its native token, $HST. To gain access to token sales, prospective investors are required to stake a certain amount of $HST, which places them into different tiers. These tiers determine the size of the allocation a user is guaranteed in an upcoming IDO, with higher amounts of staked tokens granting access to larger investment opportunities. This model creates utility and sustained demand for the $HST token while ensuring a fair and organized capital-raising process.
For projects, Headstarter provides an end-to-end solution for launching a token, handling the technical complexities of the sale and providing access to an engaged community from day one. For investors, it offers a vetted and secure venue to discover and support promising, early-stage Hedera-native projects.

Hala Systems is a social enterprise founded in 2015 that develops advanced technology to protect civilians in conflict zones. Its mission is to reduce violence and provide accountability through the creation of early warning systems and tools for documenting war crimes.
The company's flagship product is Sentry, an AI-powered early warning system that predicts and warns civilians of impending threats, such as airstrikes. Sentry uses a network of remote sensors and real-time data to provide warnings, giving people crucial time to find safety. The system has been deployed in Syria, where it has been credited with significantly reducing casualties. In addition to its warning capabilities, Hala Systems also focuses on accountability, developing tools that allow for the secure collection of evidence of war crimes.
To ensure the integrity of the data collected, such as photos and videos of potential war crimes, Hala uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and cryptographically secure record of the evidence. Each piece of media has its metadata logged on the Hedera network, creating a verifiable and immutable audit trail.
