The Web3 Showdown in partnership with Lisk
Our Web3 Startup Pitching Competition in Dubai brought together some of the most promising builders and industry leaders.
Max Kordek, Founder of Lisk, delivered a keynote on how Web3’s future depends on continuous innovation, not just market cycles.
A fireside chat featuring Marcello Mari (SingularityDAO), Gideon Greaves (KEY Difference Labs), and Jean Pierre Vanderhart (Why Protocol) explored how AI & Web3 intersect and what that means for the future of decentralized technologies.
Six ambitious startups—Lucia Protocol, Osool, Aerobloc, UCO Network, SuperGlitch Games, and m2fund—pitched their bold ideas to a panel of top investors and Web3 leaders.
After a competitive pitch battle, Lucia Protocol emerged as the winner, securing a direct spot in the Lisk Pioneer Program, which provides funding, mentorship, and a go-to-market boost.
The opportunity continues: Web3 founders can still apply for Lisk Pioneer Program grants of up to $100K. Click here to register: https://bit.ly/4b7jqfx
