The teams I coached in the last @colosseum won 13 awards and raised $1.3M.
The cheat code?
- a pitch following best practices,
- combined with a clear understanding of the traction judges need to see to decide who should win.
Today, the Cypherpunk arena opens.

The builders who win hackathons know something 99% don’t:
it's not just what you’ve built, it’s how good you pitch it.
Last 3 days before @solanamobile hackathon deadline, I feel the tension peaking,
but you still have enough time, if you play it well.
At @depitch_academy, we’ve cracked the pitch code,

OFFICIALLY achieved our @colosseum cypherpunk targets, question now is can we double all that
LFGends @legendsdotfun
but most importantly, our on-chain program is live, bringing early stage product support to a next level, the core of the why we started all this with @ansel_sol
we believe proof of engagement comes with rewards to early users, for spending time supporting a new project you believe in, sharing feedback on UX and bug fixing and all
this represents a unique value projects should be able to reward for,
now they can on legends dot fun

You’re one pitch away from unlocking your full potential, we’ll be here to make sure you get there
Hello builders!! We’re bringing together some of the best minds at Startup Village for a collaborative workshop.
These are the minds behind some of the most exciting projects in Web3 from @solana, @superteam, @solanamobile, @depitch_academy, @FoundationVent, @PythNetwork, @ZeusNetworkHQ, @INFIAcorp, @SimplicityWeb3, @CLIdotcloud, @solanaidentity, @Fidesiumapp, @HawkFi_, and more.
And it’s not just the builders.
Representatives from @ojkindonesia, @komdigi, and @ekraf_ri will also be in attendance, sharing insights, policies, and guidance on how to build with the system, not just around it.
They’ll teach. You’ll build.
And together, we’ll launch 🚀
Only at Startup Village Bali

Yes, Colosseum is a hackathon, but it is not a development race.
You need to build an MVP, but only to validate your core usage and business assumptions.
In the end, what matters most are users, product usage, and proof of potential revenue.

Some builders don't enjoy pitching so they prepare it last minute
and deliver an average performance (or worse).
They lose opportunities on the next grant, hackathon, investment,
they spent many hours building for.
Others have decided to unlock the latest Solana cheat code👇

Was great to be part of this 🥖 no risk of uncooked baguette at the Bakery
Solana is for everyone.
At The Bakery, we don’t just say it: we PROVE it.
- More than 3,000 people.
- Over 50 teams for the @solana Hackathon @colosseum.
- Dozens of free workshops with top experts.
The opening event made one thing clear: there’s a real need for a place to build.
And Superteam France found the perfect spot.
Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors for helping us take this vision to the next level: @Bitpanda_FR, @SollPayHQ, @CodigoPlatform, @Octo8gaming.

Do not spend 3-4 weeks building only to realize no one understands or cares about your concept.
Many teams fall into this trap and run out of time to recover.
-> test your idea quickly with target users,
-> learn what they really want,
-> and lock in your winning concept early.

The main mistake would be to rush into building, and then scramble to pitch whatever you’ve done.
This process doesn’t work. Instead:
- draft the ideal pitch you want to deliver in 5 weeks,
- decide which traction achievements you want to showcase,
- and then build to make them real.
