baoskee is the pseudonymous founder of [[daos fun]], the [[Solana]] platform that revived the DAO format as a vehicle for meme speculation. Launched on September 26, 2024 with backing from the accelerator Alliance DAO, daos.fun let a fund manager raise SOL from the crowd, trade meme coins and other assets on behalf of holders, and issue a token representing shares in the fund. The design turned fund management itself into a tradable meme, and for a few months in late 2024 it made daos.fun one of the fastest growing venues in [[the trenches]].

## daos.fun

baoskee framed the platform as a way for small creators to fundraise on chain without gatekeepers. Each DAO raised a fixed amount in SOL, after which its token traded on a curve, and the manager's performance was fully visible on chain. Commentators called it a potential "liquidity black hole" as capital rotated from ordinary meme coins into the fund tokens. The model's breakout moment came on October 24, 2024, when [[shaw]] launched [[ai16z]] through the platform. By baoskee's own account and Shaw's, the two met through the developer Skely, and when Shaw said over lunch that he wanted to build an AI version of the venture firm a16z, baoskee suggested simply calling it ai16z. The fund became the flagship of the AI agent era, reaching a reported multibillion dollar valuation at its peak, and its success pulled waves of imitators onto daos.fun.

## After the boom

The AI agent downturn of early 2025 hit daos.fun projects hard, and analysts writing about the "daos.fun bubble" blamed expiring fund structures and concentrated holdings for cascading sell pressure in tokens like AICC. baoskee continued shipping through the drawdown, posting regularly about new structures such as founder DAOs for projects including lootworld. In April 2026 a class action complaint over the AI16Z and ELIZAOS tokens, Doe v. Walters, named baoskee as a co defendant alongside Shaw and others, according to the filing publicized by Burwick Law. The claims are unproven allegations, and no court has ruled on them.

## Identity

baoskee has never published a legal name and operates entirely under the handle. He is unusually public for a pseudonymous founder, posting product decisions, revenue experiments and self criticism in real time, which made him a recognizable builder personality of the 2024 to 2025 cycle.
