Program Experience
When DeFi Builder first joined the BFG Adrenaline program, the startup was already showing great promise, having participated in eight hackathons, and forming several partnerships with platforms. They had developed an MVP, but faced challenges in direction, prioritization, client acquisition, and business management.
Daniel highlights the mentor support from Jong-Chan and Max, who provided valuable advice on various fronts, from exploring new opportunities and partnerships to managing internal team dynamics and equity distribution for new hires and advisors.
Since joining the program, DeFi Builder has seen continued growth in social media engagement and partnerships.
“The weekly KPIs played a large part in driving us to actively seek out more partnerships, which not only boosted our social media presence but also converted many potential clients."

"If you've been working on your startup for six months to a year, and are struggling to figure out your next steps, this program can help you get organized, explore new methodologies, and validate your ideas with third-party feedback," he adds.
