From Idea to Term Sheet: Pitching and Fundraising for Web3 Founders

​From Idea to Term Sheet: Pitching and Fundraising for Web3 Founders

​Most founders lose fundraising rounds before the pitch even starts. The deck is fine. The product is real. But the structure is wrong, the narrative doesn't land, and the mechanics of the process are a mystery until it's too late.

​Dafu Gao, Partner and CMO at OnePiece Labs, has seen this from every angle. OnePiece Labs has incubated 150+ Web3 projects and built one of the most connected IRL Web3 communities in the US, with 60,000+ members and relationships across Franklin Templeton, OKX Ventures, 0G, Sei, and a wide network of US-based VCs. They also ran the Solana APAC Bootcamp alongside the Solana Foundation and Superteam chapters across the region, putting thousands of builders through their paces, so Dafu knows exactly where APAC founders get stuck when it comes to raising capital.

​This is a hands-on workshop and Q&A, not a keynote. Dafu walks through pitch structure and fundraising mechanics end to end, i.e. how to frame your problem and solution for investors, how to sequence a fundraising process, and how to navigate the conversation from first meeting through to close. If you have a deck, bring it. If you don't, you'll leave with the foundation of one.

​This is directly relevant if you are building toward a raise after Colosseum, trying to understand what investors actually evaluate, or simply want to stop winging the fundraising conversation and start running it with intent.

​What you will walk away with: a repeatable pitch structure that works across investor types, a clear understanding of how the fundraising process actually unfolds from first contact to term sheet, the most common mechanics mistakes founders make and how to avoid them, and direct access to Dafu's experience placing APAC founders in front of serious capital.

​Come with your questions. Leave with a plan.
