Camino Network’s Post

A longer post this time... wanted to share some experiences with you from discussing and listening to other projects and builders from different ecosystems after 8 weeks of our X Spaces: 1/ 🎙️ A quick reflection on the Entity Alpha Series journey so far… We started this roundtable to bring Web3 projects, entities, and communities together to share knowledge, build partnerships, and look beyond our own bubbles. Here's what's been happening behind the scenes. 👇🧵 2/ 🌍 Why did we start the Entity Alpha Series? At Entity Finance, we saw a need for genuine collaboration in Web3. It's not just about trends but about projects sharing real experiences and learning from each other. That’s the space we wanted to create. 🤝 3/ 📈 The Numbers Don’t Lie: In 7 spaces, we’ve hosted 20+ projects (DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more), reaching thousands of listeners. The growth shows how much Web3 values real, experience-driven conversations over the usual hype. 🌱 4/ 🤔 What have we learned? These conversations are more than informative—they’re opening doors! Collaborations are forming that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. The level of insight and knowledge shared has been truly inspiring. 🔑 5/ 🌱 Expanding the Vision: The Entity Alpha Series is a long-term initiative. We’re committed to making it a space for ongoing, open dialogue. The feedback shows there's a growing demand, and we're exploring ways to host discussions more frequently. 🔄 6/ 💬 It’s All About Community: The Alpha Series isn’t just for founders—it’s for anyone wanting to understand Web3 beyond the noise. Whether you’re an investor, developer, or enthusiast, there’s value in these conversations. Everyone’s part of the journey. 🌍 7/ 🚀 Looking Forward: We're excited to bring in even more diverse voices from across Web3. Whether you’re a project or just someone who wants to join the conversation, we welcome new perspectives! Reach out to be part of future roundtables. 🤝 8/ 🔑 Our mission is clear: The Entity Alpha Series is about connecting, educating, and empowering the Web3 community. Every space we host, every partnership we form, brings us closer to shaping the future of Web3 together. 🌍 9/ 📢 Let’s Keep Building Together: This is just the beginning. The Entity Alpha Series will continue evolving, and we’re excited for what’s to come. Thanks to everyone who’s tuned in and to the projects that’ve contributed their insights.

And the networking begins…

Yesterday's meeting with a forward-thinking family office deeply immersed in the financial space, was incredibly productive. We had a great exchange of ideas about KHIZA DAO, our web3-focused startup studio. They were genuinely impressed with our unique approach to building – less talk, more action. What resonated most with them was our focus on using web3 incentive mechanisms to drive tangible growth opportunities. This isn't just about the tech; it's about aligning interests and creating win-win scenarios for everyone involved. We also discussed the strength of our ecosystem, which includes 8 successful exits, 5 C-level executives, 2 unicorns, and 2 IPOs (NASDAQ and Toronto). It's a testament to the high-caliber talent and projects we attract. We're also actively collaborating with established web2 companies to develop web3 use cases with immediate real-world applications. This isn't about building for some distant future; it's about MAKING AN IMPACT NOW! Meetings like this reaffirm our commitment to disruptive building. We're not interested in following the crowd; we're forging our own path in the web3 landscape. #web3 #startupstudio #innovation #growth #familyoffice

Why Web3 projects fail before they even get a shot? I share with you current challenges of three completely different types of businesses in Web3. Here’s what we’ve uncovered in recent client calls: Many early stage startups founders rush to launch their projects, eager to capitalize on trends without a solid strategic foundation. They quickly burn through their funds, pouring resources into development and hiring, yet they’re left with no clear path to profitability. They should make clear business plan, cost management and revenue models. Projects, that raised funds recently, face the pressure to build fast and hit KPIs. Without reaching the next milestones, the runway shortens, and securing the next round becomes a long shot. Don't hesitate to ask external help on this stage, it may cost cheaper than your mistakes that lead to crash. Family offices struggle with evaluating Web3 businesses. They apply traditional metrics to crypto deals, risking poor decisions and losses when navigating a space they don’t fully grasp. The same advice — ask for external help, that will teach your team to implement #Web3 approach. Found yourself in these scenarios? Reach out now for a first free consultation.

🎨 Meet Samvel Atayan: Speed Designer & Creative Alchemist 🎨 When it comes to design, Samvel doesn’t just create, he transforms. As one of the driving forces behind The SumMeet, he took a blank webpage with a bit of text and turned it into a living, breathing platform in record time. No styles, no logo, no specs? No problem! Samvel’s journey with The SumMeet started with a decision: to lean into curiosity, trust a stranger’s vision, and see what could happen. Within hours, his designs gave the platform its first soul. And when challenges hit—like a full rebrand in less than a day—he didn’t flinch. He delivered. But what stands out most isn’t just his talent; it’s his perspective: 💡 “This wasn’t just about a product. It was about the people, the mission, the energy. We didn’t want to stop, and we couldn’t stop. We were on adrenaline, working together as if we’d known each other for years.” From late-night brainstorming fueled by sheer passion to media interviews and a $1M investment, Samvel was part of every step of this journey. His story is a testament to what happens when creativity meets courage, and when strangers come together with a shared purpose. Samvel, your vision, resilience, and heart have shaped The SumMeet in ways we’ll never forget. Here’s to building meaningful connections and proving that the impossible is just another challenge waiting to be solved. 🚀 #TheSumMeet #24HourStartup #DesignWithPurpose #CommunityDriven #CreativeLeadership #InnovationWithSoul #BoldIdeas #RealConnections

Happy Chinese New Year From ID VCs Last night i went out with 20-30 VCs to celebrate Chinese New Year, we also wore something red for good luck and ate dimsums, it was so fun. While our (Xendit) target market is still a startup founder, it's also very important for us to have a good relationships with the VCs. Why? 1. They usually refer us to their portfolios that might need payment gateway 2. We can invite them in our events, what i usually found is, more VCs = more founders that's usually would be interested to come. (Btw, our next speed dating event would bring 50+ VCs into the event!!!) 3. They can update us with the new tech gossip I'm always grateful that these people are always keen to collaborate professionally or just hang out casually with us. the industry is so niche (100-200 people in ID maybe?) so it's important for us to always get in touch with each other.

Most #proptech is bad. I'm trying to make it better. I'm offering product feedback meetings for proptech #founders who want my unfiltered opinion, but my freemium period is up. If you're interested, fill out this meeting form: https://lnkd.in/grAhH6yK Here's some feedback I've gotten about initial meetings: "This was more valuable than all 30 customer discovery calls I did combined." "Thank you for your candid feedback..." *cries silently inside* "You're kind of a d*ck. It's awesome." For a very select few companies whose product I believe is best in class, I will consider extending an invitation to my consortium. Details are not yet public but it will take member companies to another level of success. ------------ Explore one of the largest directories of proptech, VC's, associations, and events: www.theproptechscout.com #PROPTECH #FOUNDERS: Think your proptech company is best-in-class in your segment and region and want to be considered for my consortium?
