DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Web3preneur, in strategic collaboration with TheCoinRepublic and ShipFinex delivered a packed series of community-led events during TOKEN2049 Dubai, each designed to spotlight founders, unlock capital, and build long-term Web3 connections.
Spanning five distinct gatherings, the programming brought together venture capitalists, builders, policymakers, and creators from across the globe. TheCoinRepublic wasn’t just the core media partner—it co-hosted every single event. That included private pitch rooms, public forums, and even one of the biggest yacht parties of the entire TOKEN2049 week.
Backed by BlockOn Group, led by Jagdish Pandya (JP), and supported by key partners, including Hedera, ShipFinex, and Numero1, the event series set a new tone for builder-first engagement.
“I Love RWA” Showcases Institutional-Scale Conversations Around On-Chain Assets
The series launched with “I Love RWA: Shaping the Future of Finance” at the Grand Millennium Hotel. The event brought together protocol developers, compliance architects, and investors to dissect how tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are reshaping finance.
Speakers shared insight into on-chain debt instruments, real estate digitization, and sovereign-friendly tokenization models. Discussions emphasized the necessity of interoperability and regulatory alignment as on-chain assets enter traditional capital markets.
Early-Stage Projects Pitch to VCs Behind Closed Doors
The second event was a pre-season venture pitch forum. Eleven vetted startups pitched to a panel of 7 venture capital firms in a closed setting. Unlike typical demo days, the format focused on storytelling, product-market depth, and long-term value propositions.
While project names remain confidential, multiple startups secured early-stage funding commitments, and post-event discussions led to extended deal conversations. This session validated Web3preneur’s thesis: that curated intimacy—not open-floor hype—drives real funding traction in the current market cycle.
Raw Builder Energy at the Open Mic
The third event took a different tone—an unfiltered “Morning Builders Open Mic”, where founders spoke without slides, decks, or structure. Builders from emerging markets shared stories of navigating fragmented regulation, deploying in mobile-first economies, and building communities in cash-based environments.
Several used the mic to voice criticism of extractive venture capital dynamics and called for fairer frameworks for early contributor equity. The event resonated deeply, not only for its candor but for its relevance to global builder realities.
Women Web3preneur Puts Equity on the Main Stage
The Women Web3preneur event stood out as one of the few programming blocks during TOKEN2049 focused squarely on gender dynamics in blockchain.
Panelists discussed the limitations of representation without investment, shared data on the gender gap in pre-seed and Series A rounds, and spotlighted projects led by women that are scaling quietly across underreported regions. Small, conversational, and honest format was praised for steering clear of performative inclusion.
One of TOKEN2049’s Largest Yacht Events, Powered by ShipFinex and Numero 1
The event series ended on a high note, with a closing yacht party co-organized by ShipFinex and Numero1. Recognized as one of the largest and most dynamic yacht events of TOKEN2049, it drew founders, investors, artists, and protocol stakeholders for an informal night of off-shore networking.
The guest list included Vít Jedlička, the Czech libertarian politician and self-declared Free Republic of Liberland president. His presence brought ideological weight to an otherwise celebratory evening—highlighting how decentralized networks increasingly intersect with political theory and governance models.
