That's a wrap for Startup Village Dublin, and what a successful one it was! 👏🚀

Over the last two weeks, we hosted hands-on sessions, brought in experienced mentors, and created space for founders to work, learn, and connect ⚡️

From pitch feedback to product strategy, the focus was on practical progress to help the next generation of @solana founders.

A special thank you to the always supportive @PeteTownsendNV for joining us today, and to him and @techstarsweb3 for their continued backing.

What's next for @SuperteamIE? ☘️
→ European Demo Day
→ Apex

See you in Budapest! 😉

[Simplicity Group @SimplicityWeb3]

Our client @AutonomRWA is integrating their RWA oracle with @AdrenaProtocol, currently the third-largest perpetuals DEX on Solana.

This integration makes Adrena the first perps DEX on @Solana to offer equities and commodities futures, powered by Autonom’s oracle.

Testing kicks off at the end of June.
Congrats!

In crypto you can either compete with incumbents or go upstream in the $ flow.

Shocking how many builders do not understand this and how many investors we talk to that do

Nearly every decision is impacted. I filter everything through the question

Where do we sit in the flow?
