### THEIA is a decentralized social investing protocol that aims to onboard the next billion creatives, influencers, and builders onto Web3.

> A future in which anyone around the world can invest in the global marketplace of ideas is getting closer every day…

THEIA is building a decentralized platform that **bridges the gap between creators and investors.** Through the power of communities, we aim to create an investment environment built on trust and reputation that protects investors from scams and accelerates innovation.

**Market creators** use their social network and expertise to rapidly find and evaluate the best projects, and onboard them onto their market.

**Project founders** leverage the advice and social platform provided by market creators to amplify their message and vision and reach a wider audience of potential users, community members, and investors.

**Investors** can invest in the markets and projects they truly believe in, get on the ground level of high-growth opportunities, and fuel the Web3 innovation ecosystem.
