ETHDenver was busy.
Thousands of builders.
Few rooms where founders actually got serious feedback.
Ours was one of them.
Why this pitch mattered
Ga^3in VC’s Web3 & AI Pitch Competition is now recognized alongside ETHGlobal and Next Block Expo as one of the notable Web3 competitions this cycle...

At ETHDenver:
9 curated finalists
Judges from HTX Ventures, Nethermind, and TBV
No pay-to-play slots
No filler projects
Just founders building real companies.

Winner: Loyyal Network 🏆
After deliberation, the judges selected Loyyal Network and Abhinay Bhatt.
Clear thesis. Strong execution. Calm under pressure.
That’s what wins in this market.
Thank you to all finalists:
Satsume, Loyyal Network, Uniloo Protocol, ReimburseAI, MOI Technology, Hive3, Twism, Unlaunch, Everreach Labs.
Keep building.
Next stop: DAS (NYC)
We’re continuing the series at DAS.
Same format:
Curated founders
Direct investor Q&A
Focused room
Real exposure
Brent from TBV pushed my boundaries on 3 min pitch + 4 min Q&A - TBV Demo day has 1 min for the pitch.
How much time should founders pitch?
If you’re a founder who wants sharp feedback — apply.
If you’re an investor who wants early access — attend.
Tickets are live.
Buy yours while it’s still early, and save $75.
If this sounds like your crowd, forward this email to them.
See you at DAS,
Sergey
