P00LS
P00LS is a community-first Web3 protocol that lets creators and brands launch their own cryptocurrency token, distribute it to fans, and reward on-chain engagement across platforms. Founded in 2021 by Hugo Renaudin, the company turns audiences into token-holding communities, giving creators data and tools to map, reward, and grow their most active supporters. Backers include Acrew Capital, Maveron, and Kima Ventures, and early adopters range from footballer Ronaldinho to TIME and Ed Banger Records.
Hugo Renaudin
Hugo Renaudin is the co-founder and CEO of P00LS, a Web3 platform building social and community tokens for creators and brands. A French-born, math-trained entrepreneur, he ran the largest ICO in France (raising roughly $20-30M in under 10 hours for LGO, a crypto exchange he sold to Voyager Digital), then co-founded the DeFi venture Bender Labs before launching P00LS in 2021. P00LS has raised around $18M to turn fandom into ownership: creators mint non-speculative tokens that reward and identify their most loyal supporters across chains.
