We are thrilled to announce the success of an unforgettable dual event that marked a significant milestone for Pitch Dojo. This celebration combined our 1-year anniversary with the exciting Pitch Dojo #JUL event! Throughout the past year, Pitch Dojo has been a platform for innovative minds and groundbreaking ideas, and this month's event was no exception. This month, we hosted a special edition of our Incubator, featuring teams selected from the incubator co-hosted by OnePiece Labs and 0G.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Heph AI: Making Data Labeling Faster

Heph AI, an AI model training and quality assurance platform, shone brightly at Pitch Dojo #JUL2024, distinguishing itself by winning the prestigious summit championship. Offering cost-effective and efficient data labeling services through a hybrid Human/Machine approach, Heph AI made a strong impression on the audience. Warm congratulations to the Heph AI team and Will Mercer for this outstanding achievement!"

INTRODUCING THE DOJO MASTER OF THE MONTH

In July, the 'Dojo Master-Class' series made a significant impact with its enlightening third session. We were privileged to feature Michael Heinrich, Founder & CEO of 0G, as our distinguished guest speaker. During a lively fireside chat moderated by Ed Roman from Hack VC, Michael captivated the audience with compelling stories of raising a $35 million pre-seed round. Michael brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, sharing his journey and insights into the startup world.

MC AND CO-HOSTS STEERING THE EVENT

We are deeply grateful to our dynamic Master of Ceremonies, Dafu Gao, a partner at OnePiece Labs, for bringing an energetic atmosphere to the event. We were also honored to have Tiffany Lai, Vice President of Ecosystem at 0G, and James Chi, co-founder of Camp Network, join us for the occasion.

AUDIENCE FAVORITE PROJECT: Fractopus

Fractopus connects content on the internet into a peer-to-peer revenue-sharing network.., Content on the internet is disconnected. It is either gated by centralized platforms or struggling to get revenue & exposure. The Fractopus protocol solves this problem by having content connect with each other into a peer-to-peer revenue & exposure-sharing network. 

Fractopus is getting a solid product-market fit by enabling the monetization of AI-generated content. Its partners include ComfyUI (10m users) and WaytoAGI (800k members).
