The first reality show about Web3 startups is now live, where founders face bootcamp challenges, improve themselves, and advance their on-chain projects. Startup Warriors brings together some of the brightest crypto entrepreneurs from around the world, on the island of Bali. This is the second season of the bootcamp, powered by XFounders Bootcamp, Solana Foundation, and BeInCrypto.
Thanks to the reality show, XFounders is making an impact not only on the participating founders and the audience but also on the crypto entrepreneurship ecosystem as a whole. In our recent interview with the co-founders of XFounders, we received more detailed answers to these questions, with a comment from Fedor Erashev:
“Why did we choose a reality show as one of the outputs? It’s a great question, and there are two main reasons behind it.
First, during the first season of the XFounders Bootcamp, we spent a month with the founders, and we became like a family. We witnessed so many amazing moments—genuine conversations, exciting breakthroughs—that no one else saw except our team and the founders.
I thought it would be incredible to share what happens behind the scenes with the world. It’s not just about reading articles where someone raises a few million dollars; it’s about showing the real stories behind those achievements. Who are these people? What are they thinking?
This kind of storytelling can inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, showing them that they can relate to these founders and follow in their footsteps. They might see an engineer doing something extraordinary and think, ‘I can do that too.’
The second reason is that most acceleration or incubation programs offer advice, a bit of funding, or networking opportunities—usually through online platforms. In my opinion, that’s less valuable, especially when it comes to audience building and go-to-market strategies.
In Web3, the go-to-market slide is the most important one in any pitch deck, but most programs don’t help with that. We wanted to offer more than the basics that other programs provide.
Our reality show serves as a go-to-market tool for startups. It’s a bold experiment with high risks, but if we succeed, we could open up a new format for acceleration programs. It’s a tool that allows us to compete with the big names in the industry, and we’re excited to see where it takes us.”
