# What is Team Finance?

Team Finance is a security toolkit for founders that want to create a token and raise money from a community of investors. We make their lives 100x easier by giving them access to the tools they need to launch and scale a successful company that has a token as part of it.\
\
Our services include:\

### **Why We Exist**

Traditional methods of launching a successful token and creating trust around it are far too complex and expensive. Without Team Finance, a company that wants to launch a token will usually have to go through the following steps:

* Hire a developer to create their token (3+ months to find and contract the dev + $10,000 to create the contract)
* Hire an audit firm to check the smart contract (3+ month wait time, $10,000-$50,000)
* Use a multi-sender tool to send money out to investors ($150 per batch)
* Marketing to prove trust and legitimacy ($10,000-$100,000)

Because of the time and costs, most companies don't implement the above steps. They cut corners. This makes them vulnerable to bugs in their contracts and rogue team members.

This is why we see so many scams and hacks in Web3 today. Tokens are way too hard to set up and build trust around. We want to help companies grow faster and create the projects of tomorrow. For this, they need infrastructure that is affordable, easy to use, and flexible.
