DeFi Connected — Terra Hackathon

DeFi isn’t rebuilding finance, it’s dismantling it. In its place, we build something so powerful it’ll change humanity’s fate. We are IDEO Colab Ventures, DelphiLabs and Terra. We want to join forces with YOU.

Join our 48h Terra Hackathon; lets buidl the next gen of DeFi together.

What you get as a participant:

  • Access to Delphi big brain support
  • IDEO product design tutorship
  • A chance to join our incubation program — with further access to funding and support from both Delphi Labs and IDEO Colab. Our team is working 24/7 helping to unlock the potential of DeFi.

IDEO Colab Ventures are investors & supporters of many disruptive teams, including:

We see the walls to mainstream adoption. And we want to incubate builders to break them down. That’s why we chose to join forces with Terra and Do Kwon.

They’re solving many of the hardest problems in crypto:

  • Onramps
  • Accessible UI
  • Developer onboarding tools with Terra projects like Saturn, Alice and Anchor.

So what actually will happen in the initial two-day event?

  • Delphi and IDEO experts will lead your early-stage team through a design research sprint, as you talk to real end users and collaborate with peers, experts, and mentors in the DeFi community.
  • A small number of the most promising teams will be invited to the full 11-week residency. During this time each team will be assigned a senior member of Delphi or IDEO as a mentor and have regular sessions with the wider team to share progress, get guidance and feedback.
  • At the end of the residency we expect that one or more of the projects will be offered full incubation. Allowing us to fund the projects from IDEO VC, Delphi Ventures and Delphi Labs while also providing deeper UI/visual design, token econ and hiring support.
