Rhode Island entrepreneur David Paolo has announced the launch of a groundbreaking Web3 crowdfunding platform designed to help creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators raise capital in a more transparent, secure, and efficient way. By integrating blockchain technology, tokenization, and AI-driven verification tools, the platform offers a next-generation approach to online fundraising.
Paolo, a longtime Rhode Island business leader, is best known for founding Log On America, one of the state’s early Internet service providers that successfully went public, raising $25 million. Today, his focus has shifted toward building digital solutions that empower entrepreneurs in the age of decentralization.
“The future of funding is decentralized, but it must also be trusted,” said David Paolo, founder of the new platform. “By combining blockchain with AI-powered verification, we’re creating a system that reduces fraud, increases transparency, and helps innovators access global capital in ways never before possible.”
The platform provides creators with tools to:
• Launch blockchain-enabled crowdfunding campaigns.
• Offer tokenized rewards or equity participation.
• Verify participants and transactions through AI-driven compliance checks.
• Build community trust with transparency baked into every campaign.
Paolo, who resides on Boone Lake in Exeter, Rhode Island, continues to balance his entrepreneurial ventures with his passion for hockey, which he credits for teaching the discipline and teamwork essential for business success.
This launch represents Paolo’s commitment to keeping Rhode Island at the forefront of technological innovation while also contributing to the global digital economy.

Businesses are increasingly turning to ProWebChat not just for AI chat, but for a complete intelligent business engagement platform competitors cannot match.
Unlike traditional chat widgets or generic chatbot platforms, ProWebChat combines intelligent real-time visitor engagement with Ground Zero Intelligence’s ability to integrate custom AI business tools, automation systems, and advanced workflow technologies that many competing platforms simply cannot support.

Creators retain ownership. Fans participate directly. Entertainment operates without gatekeepers.
Coin Theaters today unveiled the official launch of CoinTheaters.com, a complimentary, creator-centric entertainment platform that seamlessly integrates crowdfunding, content streaming, and fan engagement into a cohesive ecosystem serving filmmakers, musicians, digital creators, streamers, independent and major studios, entertainment startups, and fans seeking direct participation in the creative process.
Coin Theaters is built to address a longstanding structural problem in entertainment: creators are forced to surrender ownership, control, or long-term upside in exchange for funding or distribution. By consolidating the full lifecycle of a creative project, funding, distribution, streaming and audience growth into one platform, Coin Theaters enables creators to build and monetize their work directly with their audience.
Coin Theaters is a creator-owned entertainment platform that combines crowdfunding, streaming, and fan engagement into a single ecosystem. Built for the modern creator economy, Coin Theaters enable artists and audiences to fund, release, and experience entertainment together, while preserving creator ownership and transparency.
