Program Experience

Prior to joining the 8-week BFG Adrenaline program, Sorted Wallet had a strong product concept and an impressive foundational team, but was seeking further mentorship, business model refinement, and strategic partnerships, particularly in emerging markets.

Participating in the BFG Adrenaline program was a significant step for the Sorted Wallet team. The program’s weekly town halls and expert-led sessions facilitated a cohesive learning environment. One standout session focused on networking strategies, particularly how to turn cold emails into meaningful connections with potential investors and partners. 

“The session on networking strategies alone provided actionable insights that we could immediately implement."

Another highlight were rehearsal pitch sessions – receiving feedback from the BFG team before pitching to investors was invaluable. This preparation helped refine the team’s pitch deck and presentation skills, ensuring they were well-equipped to impress investors.

Additionally, the program’s emphasis on legal and regulatory aspects of web3 projects equipped the Sorted Wallet team with critical knowledge to navigate such complexities.

From Shishir, potential founders who are keen on applying for the BFG Adrenaline program can expect to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical, actionable insights that can be immediately applied to their businesses. Moreover, the structured feedback system on pitches and business models helped refine their startup’s overall development.

In conclusion, the Adrenaline program was a pivotal experience for Sorted Wallet. The learnings and connections made during the eight weeks have already started to bear fruit, positioning them for continued growth and success.

For web3 startups aiming to take their projects to the next level, participating in this program is a no-brainer. "The BFG Adrenaline program has been a pivotal experience, positioning us for continued growth and success," said Shishir.
