soonami's Venturethon Cohort 3 brought together 350 builders from across the globe. For 10 days, they ideated and built in the realms of Web3 and AI.‍

At soonami, we've always believed that great ideas can come from anywhere. That’s why we keep coming back with the soonami Venturethon every 8-12 weeks. Our 10-day startup launchpad aims to create a supportive ecosystem for early-stage Web3 and AI projects.

We’ve just wrapped up the March edition of Venturethon and here are all the teams that won.
