📆 Arbitrum Pitch Day

Calling builders and investors!

RnDAO is hosting a high-impact event on July 24, uniting builders and 50+ investors. Builders can pitch for $250K+ in funding, while investors get early access to top-tier projects.

Final Free Pitch Workshop – Don’t Miss It!
Last week’s session with expert fundraisers helped sharpen many pitches. The next session is this Thursday—timed for Asia-friendly zones (and open to all).

• June 19 at 11:00 UTC
• Additionally, from June 23 to July 4, we will provide personalized 1:1 coaching sessions.

Note: You must apply to Pitch Day first.

📊 Hackathon Continuation Program: Phase 1 Report

After 3 intensive months in Arbitrum’s Hackathon Continuation Program, two standout teams have progressed to Phase 2.

•  FairAI secured its selection by demonstrating enterprise demand, closing a key sale, and outperforming competitors in market tests. 
• Contribo (dubbed "Fiverr for Web3") leverages Arbitrum’s low-cost infrastructure to connect contributors with funders, aiming to onboard 100+ users.

WE.LIVED.IT made significant strides during Phase 1, especially in validating real user pain points among journalists and refining their product based on feedback.

However, despite their progress, the team’s direction didn’t align closely enough with Arbitrum’s infrastructure focus. While they won’t continue into Phase 2, we’re incredibly grateful for their contribution and hope to see more from them in the future.

How AI & Analytics Are Reshaping Community Building in Web3

In today’s vibrant Web3 world, building a thriving community takes more than just good instincts. It requires strategic insights, smart automation, and the effective use of AI.

That’s the mission TogetherCrew is working toward—transforming the art of community building into a scalable, data-driven science. Their powerful suite of features equips community builders with:

• AI-powered instant member support
• Community analytics and member segmentation
• Automated smart messaging to members
• Member reputation scoring
• Community health metrics

These tools help teams shift from reactive community management to proactive community building.

Curious to see how it all works and how it can support your own community?

Watch this short demo.

Meetwith

Scheduling paid sessions shouldn’t be a burden. Meetwith team is exploring these pain points to design better tools that truly support practitioners.

They’re currently inviting coaches and therapists to share their experiences in a short 20-minute conversation.

If you’re open to sharing, connect on X or book a time with Patrick (the product lead).

You’re also welcome to forward this to anyone else who might want to contribute.

Fair AI

Turning Conversations into Action

After a stretch of focused meetings and back-and-forth, Fair AI has reached an agreement with a manufacturing company. It’s a collaboration the team has been steadily building toward, and they are now laying the foundation for a long-term project.

This marks a meaningful shift for Fair AI in the sector, moving from exploration to execution with a partner that sees the potential in their work.

WE.LIVED.IT

Pitch

WE.LIVED.IT refined their narrative for the pitch and pitch deck even further. The team also participated in pitch training sessions to prepare for Arbitrum Pitch Day.

Events
The team attended Funding the Commons and engaged in conversations with like-minded individuals in the tech space who are also exploring decentralized solutions for more just systems.

Model
They continued testing their model across different contexts to observe variations in output. A demo video is planned, which will be featured on their website.

CONTRIBO

Stop browsing, start building

Contribo refined the pitch deck through several iterations to ensure the idea is communicated in the best possible way. In parallel, the team took time to reflect on areas that require further advancement in the next phase.
