# Why MetaDAO

Reasons Laso Finance launched on MetaDAO.

Since starting Laso Finance three years ago, we've received many inquiries to launch a token. 

We've never accepted, because most token launches:

* Focus on short-term token movements.
* Invite distractions from core business.
* Are at risk for team misusing funds, or rugging.
* Are divorced from the realities of the actual business.
* Either gives tokenholders no rights, or worse, devolves the business into a bureaucracy.
* Incentivizes teams to "rest and vest", not to execute.

[MetaDAO](https://www.metadao.fi/) has found a balanced solution through [decision markets](https://docs.metadao.fi/governance/overview) and [team incentivization](https://docs.metadao.fi/how-launches-work/sale#how-are-teams-incentivized).

We are confident that the MetaDAO launch will create the best alignment between investors, team, and most importantly, users.

We had many opportunities for private VC rounds. Instead, MetaDAO enables what we want for our users. The people who use the product should and will share the upside.
