THE WAIT IS OVER! Today, we’re announcing the 8 finalists taking the stage at 10X Founders Demo Day on August 25 🚀 Narrowing 300+ applications down to just 8 was extremely difficult. Together with our co-hosts, we went deep into each team’s product, traction, tech, vision, and overall potential - and the shortlist changed more than once before we landed on the final lineup. Here’s who made the cut: @KryptosConnect @IsleFinance @0xT3tris @NOMADZxyz @MentionedMarket @spicenetio @KenomicAI @IncDeploi It was genuinely hard for the board to land on these 8. This shortlist got revised multiple times because the quality of the projects competing for these seats kept raising the bar If you applied and didn't make the final cut, that doesn't mean your project didn't qualify. It means the competition was exceptionally fierce this round, and we'd love to see you apply again next time! Hosted by: @InspiraLabsHQ × @cicada_mm × @Yellow Anchor Partner: @SonicLabs Co-hosted with: @injective × @1inch × @CointelegraphAc × @Galxe × @Cryptic_Web3 × @hackenclub × @AtlasOracleX With media support from: @BitcoinCom × @CoinMarketCap × @CryptoRank_io × @Cointelegraph × @incrypted × @Assemble_io And on August 25, the finalists will pitch live in front of our VC judge panel: @Obsid1an_ — Associate Director, Investment & Strategic Partnership at @animocabrands @r_m_evdokimov — Venture Partner at @ContributionCap @Ivantok4 — Founding Partner at @comma3vc @Chloeeewrx_ — Investment Director, Portfolio Manager & PR Director at @fenbushi @al_nechaev — Partner at @FundersVC @LafaMarino — Analyst at @ZeePrimeCap @an_david — Managing Partner at @DracoonVentures & Co-Founder of The Provocation Lab @xrendolf — CEO at @moonhillcap $150K Prize Pool · 8 Judges · 1 Stage · August 25 1:00 pm UTC Who will walk away with the prize? Set your reminders and get ready - the future of Web3 is taking the stage! ⚡️🏆

You already know about the $150K+ prize pool. But do you know who's actually deciding who takes it home? For 10X Founders Demo Day v2.0 we didn't just fill six judge seats. We built a panel of people who've actually operated inside this industry, not just written checks into it - operators who've run exchange platforms, engineered tokenomics for billion-dollar protocols, and grown ecosystem TVL by billions in under a year. If your pitch has any soft spots, this is the room that finds them 🔍 Meet the panel: @Obsid1an_ - Associate Director, Investment & Strategic Partnership at @animocabrands Animoca Brands: 600+ portfolio companies, 20+ verticals, from gaming to RWA. Ian's focus is infrastructure and tokenization - he built Animoca's staking business and advises on tokenomics for a $2B gaming project. Expect questions that go deeper than the deck @r_m_evdokimov - Venture Partner at @ContributionCap A $30M pre-seed/seed fund backing infra, middleware and Fintech 3.0 (@lifiprotocol, @zkPass, @ethos_network and more). Roman spent 15+ years in marketing, BD and Web3 before this. Expect him to skip the buzzwords and test if you actually understand your own business @Ivantok4 - Founding Partner at @comma3vc ~$50M AUM, all-in on Sui this cycle - Ivan's team helped grow its TVL from $250M to $2.35B in under a year. Ex-TSMC engineer, 35+ exits, co-founder of Taiwan's first bitcoin treasury company. Expect him to stress test your tech as hard as your model @Chloeeewrx_ - Investment Director, Portfolio Manager & PR Director at @fenbushi Asia's first blockchain VC, founded 2015, ~$1.6B AUM, 300+ portfolio companies including Ethereum, Circle and Consensys. A decade of pattern recognition behind every question she asks @al_nechaev - Partner at @FundersVC Funders VC is a $20M AUM asset management firm operating at the intersection of venture and liquid DeFi - backing early-stage DeFi and RWA protocols while running delta-neutral and yield strategies in-house. Its portfolio includes Flying Tulip, Lighter, RAND and other emerging projects across the space @LafaMarino - Analyst at @ZeePrimeCap Investing since 2019 across early-stage startups and liquid markets (Polymarket, Solana, DeSci). Tadas' background is in research at the European Central Bank and Bank of Lithuania. If your pitch chases a trend instead of a real wedge, expect that to surface That's not a judge panel. That's six people who've actually built what they'll be judging you on 🎯 And one more thing worth saying out loud: pitching here isn't just about the $150K. Beyond the panel, a packed room of top-tier VCs, angel investors, and ecosystem partners will be tuning in as attendees. It's a shot in front of investors who'd normally take months of intros to reach individually, all in one room, on one day And time is officially ticking - there are only 7 days left to apply ⏳ In one week, applications close and "I'll do it later" won't be an option anymore. If your project is ready to be seen, now is the time 8 founders. 6 judges. One stage. August 25 🔥 🔗 Apply now:
