How to Find the Next $100M Utility BANGER

While the last few months had almost no new utility runners in the market…

We caught both $ALCH & $KTA around ~$10m

Now both broke $200M - a huge win for all of us.

Here’s how I did it - and how you can spot the next one 👇

1. $1-3M entries aren’t always best

-> Early ≠ safe. Real signals for utilities usually start at $5M–$10M.

2. Hype != Strength

-> Big launch hype means nothing. You need to ignore the first green candles and actually see if they are able to keep the hype going. That's real strength.

3. Keep it SIMPLE

-> If the utility can't be explained in 3 simple lines, it’s usually too complicated to pump.

4. Tested conviction > Paper strength

-> If it hasn’t been through a crash or FUD - don’t buy big yet.

You can't even imagine how important the first dump is. During this dump, you learn the most about the team experience, how they handle crises and how strong the community is.

5. Narrative matters most

-> Tech is great. But narratives move charts. No story = low chances to break 100m, no matter how good the tech is.

6. Community over followers

-> 200K followers doesn’t matter if the real users that are interacting on TG & Twitter replies are dead.

7. People love stats

-> Projects with a lot of data pumps the most. Check if the project has / is working on dunes, dashboards, info on Defilama etc.

8. Utility CTOs are a lot of time LARPs

-> Be serious. Would you invest in a real-world startup without a team? Would anyone develop 24/7 without getting paid? If it's a MEME, sure I understand. But for utilities it's different.

9. Is the dream big enough?

-> Utility whales need to compare potential.

If there’s no clear competitor, it’s harder to shill and harder for big wallets to justify aping.

Dreams need benchmarks (As we saw with L1s for example)

You don’t need luck.

You need patience and real filters.
