Web3 & Blockchain Startup Pitch Agent
Estimated Time
15-20 minutes
Applications
50-100 applications
Agent Role
This Agent evaluates early-stage blockchain and Web3 startup applications for pitch competitions. It focuses on technical clarity, token model soundness (if relevant), real-world utility, team capability, and differentiation in a saturated space. It helps organizers cut through noise, hype, and jargon to identify credible early builders.
Who is it for
Web3 accelerators and launchpads
Crypto VC demo days
Hackathon-to-pitch pipelines
Ecosystem-backed competitions
DAO grant rounds and L1 foundation-backed showcases
Human Biases Avoided
Favoring buzzword-heavy projects with vague technical grounding
Penalizing infrastructure-level builders in favor of consumer-facing apps
Bias toward geographic clusters (e.g., SF/NY/Berlin)
Undervaluing experimental or open-source-first teams
Effort Estimate
Save 10x time by using AI vs manual review.

Data Enrichment Performed
Team & founder signals:
- Public presence scan for GitHub, hackathon wins, Twitter/LinkedIn profiles
- Checks for project documentation, lightpaper/whitepaper links if available
Project-level context:
- AI search to detect similarities with existing protocols or dApps
- Looks for protocol integrations, testnet/mainnet deployments, audit mentions
- Token utility or governance mechanism parsing (if included)
Public signals:
- Checks for forum mentions (e.g., Mirror, Farcaster, X)
- Looks for ecosystem grants, prior DAO funding, or hackathon placement

Final Score
| Rubric | Score (0–1) | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Problem-Solution Fit | 0.85 | Strong use case for content integrity in decentralized media. |
| Technical Feasibility | 0.80 | MVP live; using known infra (Arweave, IPFS, ENS); backend clearly scoped. |
| Originality & Ecosystem Fit | 0.75 | Few protocols serve long-form writers well; overlaps lightly with Mirror. |
| Tokenomics | 0.70 | No live token yet, but mentions staking for editorial curation. |
| Team Capability | 0.85 | Active contributors to ENS and Arweave repos; built and demoed at ETHDenver. |
| Communication & Transparency | 0.90 | Clear roadmap, open GitHub, working prototype URL shared. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Agent detect overuse of hype terms or vague promises?
Yes — it flags vague descriptions, overuse of 'disruption,' and lack of clarity in protocol design.
Does it penalize projects without a token?
No — it evaluates incentive design only if a token is mentioned. Early infra projects won’t be penalized unfairly.
What if the project is open-source and doesn’t plan monetization yet?
That’s fine. The Agent recognizes OSS-first and research-aligned builders; monetization isn’t required to score well.
Can it spot forks or clones?
Yes — AI search checks for protocol or project similarity, helping surface originality issues.
Does it support DAO-run competitions?
Absolutely. It can help triage community-submitted proposals with consistent scoring before tokenholder voting.
