Stablecorp

🎙️ From the Judges' Table, Ep. 1

A Stablecorp podcast with @colosseum judges, for teams shipping at Crypto World's Fair.

Building is cheap now. Your agent can crank out a smart contract in an afternoon. So what actually separates the teams that win?

@10KRotator down with @andyweng_ from @magicblock, who was one of our judges back when Stablecorp was just a pitch, to ask what he looks for when judging.

What he shared:

🎯 Founder-market fit comes first: Does it make sense for you to be building this? Deep financial products have quirks outsiders miss. Build where you have an unfair understanding of the problem.

💡 A request for startups: A perps design with 1000x leverage and no slippage, where everyone trades against a central pool. When the pool runs dry, you get a receipt token that's paid out as fees come in. Unproven, but if it works, it changes the game. Andy wants to see someone build it on Solana.

🚀 First users matter: MagicBlock's Quests program funds incentives to get your first hundred users. We've used it ourselves.

🗣️ GTM matters more than ever: When the tech is easy to ship, the story is what's scarce: why this problem exists, why you're the one to solve it, told in a way people get in seconds.

His advice for the hackathon: put the coding agents down for a bit. Do the research. Tell a great story.
Thanks @andyweng_ , and thanks @magicblock for one of the best Founders Camps we've been to.

🎙️ From the Judges’ Table, Ep. 3

A Stablecorp podcast with @colosseum judges, for teams shipping at Crypto World’s Fair.

8,000 registrations. Every judge’s calendar is full. So how do you get your project seen?

@10KRotator sat down with Josip (@JosipVolarevic2 ) from @superteam. He helped us sharpen our story when Stablecorp was still pitching, including late-night calls before the Berlin summit.

What he shared:

🎯 Bet on the team: The product you pitch today will look different in two years. The team is the one thing that stays.

💡 Teach the judge something new: Drop a real insight they don’t know. That’s how you show you’re the expert, and how you show passion.

✍️ Write it yourself: Of 20 decks he reviewed in two days, he’s pretty sure 18 were AI-written. Same structure, same one-liners. If you care about the problem, you can fill your own slides.

🧠 Be memorable: Projects that spark emotion stick. Remember, though, half of all investments go to the “boring” stuff, like neobanks and stablecoin infrastructure.

💡 His request for startups: a shared savings wallet for couples. Save for a house, a trip, the kids’ college. Not perps or memecoins. The infra exists now, and the crypto generation is getting married and having kids.

His advice for the hackathon: nobody cares. Judges don’t pick winners, they filter out reasons to skip. An unclear one-liner, too many co-founders, too much info: next. Don’t give them an excuse to move on.

Thanks @JosipVolarevic2 , for this and for every pitch you helped us tighten.
