The fifth edition of soonami Venturethon brought together more than 150 teams from around the world. During the 10-day program, participants developed new solutions in Web3 and AI technology, turning their concepts into working projects.

‍

At soonami we believe exceptional builders exist everywhere - irrespective of the geographical background. That's why we conduct soonami Venturethon every 8-12 weeks. This startup launchpad creates opportunities for Web3 and AI projects in their earliest stages, connecting builders with the resources they need to succeed.

‍

As we wrap our October Venturethon, we're excited to announce our winning teams. These selected projects now have the chance to join Cohort 5, alongside 14 other projects to get $125k in funding from the soonami ecosystem [provided they stick with the program and make it post Investment Committee (IC)]
