This Web3 marketing hub is set to fully launch once the platform reaches 2,000 accounts. However, starting October 16, 2024, startups can already sign up and begin their first marketing campaigns on the Tookey platform and in the private Co-marketing Club on Telegram.

Tookey.io plans to use the funds to launch and promote the platform, aiming to onboard its first 5,000 startups. The company will then focus on enhancing the platform’s functionality to boost marketing efficiency, including launching a token and a referral program.
The company is preparing for its release and recently hosted a Demo Day, where together with Yedige Davletgaliyev, Victor Estival, and Alex Batrachenko they showcased the platform and addressed startups’ burning questions about developing and launching Web3 projects.
