Go-to-Market Bootcamp for Web3 Startups Powered by Solana Foundation & Edutainment Startup Reality Show (special thanks to BeInCrypto) Let’s face it: online networking often falls short. Meaningful connections that lead to great partnerships, collaborations, and deals are made in informal settings. That’s why this September, we welcome 20 seed and Series-A startup teams, VCs, and top-tier experts, including mentors from Solana Foundation, Mastercard, Amazon Web Services (AWS), GriGon, Circle, and many others, to join us in Bali for XFounders Bootcamp #Season2. Here, projects will build a robust network, design profound strategies, gain industry insights, and secure funding on a culminating demo day. Beyond the educational aspects, teams will participate in the first-of-its-kind edutainment reality show focused on startup building, in partnership with BeInCrypto, one of the largest crypto media. The goal of the reality show is to inspire viewers with the startup spirit and encourage them to build their own projects, as we believe that founders and their innovations are at the heart of mass adoption. So if you’re a startup that meets the criteria or simply interested in #web3 and startups and watching the reality show, apply on our website 👉https://x-founders.com It’s time to build web3 together! #XFounders #Bootcamp #Web3startup

At the start of my career, I used writing to crystallize my understanding of complex topics. It's been a few years since I've had the bandwidth to do it successfully, but I'm happy to say I'm getting back on the saddle. With my new publication, The Elephant, I'll be exploring a range of concepts including, but not limited to, the positive societal benefits of blockchain applications. With my first post, 'On Tokenization and Economic Prosperity', I explore the benefits of applying tokenization to niche markets that have otherwise been fragmented and inefficient. It discusses the creation of global liquidity in these markets, credit enablement for these assets, and the economic growth it could yield. https://lnkd.in/eZY_6uNa
