What an RCAICO is — and what it must never become · The programme
RCAICO on this site is a door, not a venue
Same screen. Same fees. Same nos. A name founders already search.
The house has three public names and a temptation to turn each of them into a company. RCA Pad is the canonical brand on RCApad.com. RCAICO is the programme for ICO-intent issuers. RegCA.xyz is community and category content about a proposed framework. All three describe the same boundary: B2B launch services. Not a sale. Not a venue. Not an official platform.
ICO-intent inbound is screened on the same ten dimensions as every other client. Named founder. Entity. Product evidence. Window. Budget. Counsel. Named geographies. Claims discipline. Hard rejects: anonymous teams, performance promises, token-only pay, retail allocation operations. There is no “ICO track” that skips the screen because the founder used the right acronym.
What the programme sells, and what it does not
If a row on the right is the job you want done, this house is the wrong house.
- Sprint
- Fourteen days to a command centre: narrative, audience, map, 90-day plan, funnel, community, creators, partners, claims register. £3,500–£7,500.
- Build
- Production assets: pages, media kit, waitlist, briefs, calendar with an approval trail. £10,000–£35,000. No purchase journey.
- Growth
- Monthly operations against a live register. £5,000–£25,000+. Prepaid retainer.
- Never
- Accept investor funds. Custody. Allocate tokens. Run a sale. Promise a raise. Call the offering approved. Take a percentage of it.
The commercial consequence is that an ICO-intent team that cannot tolerate those nos should not start the application. The application is not a negotiation of the boundary. It is a test of whether the team already lives on the right side of it, or is willing to. Willingness, here, is a staffing fact. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, the Sprint will spend fourteen days arguing about the exclusion list. We have run that Sprint. We do not sell it twice.
