As the highly anticipated Demo Day approaches, OnePiece Labs (OPL) and Sei Labs have demonstrated unwavering commitment to nurturing a flourishing Web3 ecosystem. Both organizations share a profound dedication to the community, which stands as the cornerstone of their partnership. Through the synergy of their efforts, their common goal is to facilitate collaboration and the exchange of knowledge, ultimately benefiting the entire Web3 community.
In preparation for this pivotal event, OPL and Sei embarked on a journey dedicated to cultivating a thriving global GameFi, SocialFi, and AI+Web3 ecosystems. This journey was marked by several pivotal milestones:
In June 2023, the AI+Web3 Pitch Competition kicked off, providing a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs to showcase their innovative ideas. Before the competition commenced, a series of exclusive workshops led by industry professionals empowered participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the Web3 space. Over 300 participants from around the world sharpened their skills during these workshops.
OnePiece Labs and Sei organized a thrilling 3-day hybrid hackathon, where the brightest minds from around the world came together, both online and offline, to compete for over $200,000 in cash and prizes. This hackathon provided a unique opportunity for developers, designers, and entrepreneurs to network, learn from experts, and showcase their skills. The event was divided into three tracks: GameFi, SocialFi, and AI+Web3, with all projects required to be deployed on the Sei blockchain. More than 150 teams participated in this intensive competition.
Breaking from the conventional approach of group lectures, OnePiece Labs (OPL) and Sei Labs have crafted a 10-week intensive incubator program that puts individual mentorship at its core. This program is finely tuned to fast-track promising projects in the GameFi, SocialFi, and AI+Web3 realms. Drawing from a pool of seasoned mentors from organizations like Sei, Galxe, Animoca Brands, Fenwick, OKX, Coinbase, and Decrypt Media, startups receive dedicated guidance tailored to their unique business challenges.
During the program, founders enjoy private meetings with specialized mentors, experts in their respective fields. Simultaneously, OPL partners lead each team, providing strategic insights and resources informed by their understanding of the project's business. These personalized interactions prove pivotal in keeping projects on track toward their goals. Alongside this intensive mentorship, OPL and the Sei team host engaging social events that foster connections and collaborations within the vibrant Web3 community.
The apex of this incubator journey is OPL's Demo Day, where founders present their projects to a diverse audience of investors and experts. Post-presentation, efficient matchmaking sessions connect founders with potential investors, elevating opportunities for essential backing and mentorship. In this incubator program, 11 startups from around the globe converge, representing a rich tapestry of global innovation and ambition.
The tireless dedication of these incubatees has yielded remarkable progress, with notable achievements under their belts. For instance, vDEX and Kawa are currently in the process of securing additional investments from a few notable web3 funds, a testament to their compelling visions and hard work. One of the key milestones for these startups has been their deployment on the Sei ecosystem, a move that has significantly bolstered their visibility and traction within the blockchain space.
The incubation program has provided invaluable opportunities for these projects. It has facilitated critical connections, unlocked funding prospects, nurtured project development through access to vital resources, attracted top-notch professionals to their teams, honed their pitching skills, and guided them through the various stages of product development, enabling continuous improvement.
The OPL x Sei Demo Day serves as the grand culmination of months of relentless effort and collaborative spirit. It is the moment where 11 trailblazing startups emerge from the shadows to shine a spotlight on their groundbreaking innovations. These startups, meticulously nurtured through the OnePiece Labs x Sei Incubator Batch #3, occupy pivotal positions within the Sei ecosystem.
