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.
