Mugen Genesis: Finalist Virtual Pitch Competition
Mugen Genesis is a virtual pitch competition for Blockchain x AI projects preparing to launch. It's built for teams building toward a token launch, mainnet or testnet deployment, or the operational infrastructure that precedes it.
On September 3, finalists will pitch directly to a panel of entrepreneurs, operators, investors, market-makers, and governance specialists from across the Cayman and global Web3 ecosystem:
Yaroslav Pshenitsyn, Founder of Mugen and former Head of the Chainlink Foundation.
Matt Arney, Head of Business Development at Blockchain.com.
Lucia Gallardo, Serial Entrepreneur, Strategic Advisor and Governance Specialist.
Jason Butcher, Investor, Mentor, Advisor and Entrepreneur.
Tracy Leparulo, Founder of Blockchain Futurist Conference.
They will evaluate the projects based on:
01) Long-term viability. Is the market ready and defensible?
02) Execution readiness. Is the team building and shipping the product?
03) Ecosystem potential. Partnerships, integrations, and go-to-market traction.
04) Technical innovation. Meaningful differentiation from existing solutions.
05) Founder quality. Clarity of thinking, communication, and conviction.
The panel is moderated by Paola Shushkovsky Head of Business Development and Marketing at Mugen.
The selected team receives up to $25,000 in operational and strategic support delivered by Mugen, spanning foundation and entity structuring, treasury management, governance design, and compliance.
Join to watch the finalists present and see how the panel evaluates teams preparing to launch cleanly.
