Waterdrip Web3 Entrepreneurship Program (WWEP) is a university training program jointly initiated by Waterdrip Capital, Buidler DAO, and Blockchain Academy. The program aims to help young people who are interested in Web3 development become star entrepreneurs through a six-month, five-module training program.

In the previous article, we reviewed the first half of WWEP's journey. During that time, we completed all 22 specialized tutor courses and related post-course AMA tutor Q&A sessions, held many vibrant offline events, and also successfully concluded the Web3 Research Report Competition, with the selected research reports already published. This stage provided our students with rich and diverse opportunities for learning, offline socializing, and tutor communication. Currently, the entire WWEP journey has come to a close.

Recently, we just finished the roadshow and selection of the global university Web3 entrepreneurship Demo Day. The entrepreneurship Demo Day is the pinnacle of WWEP, bringing together student entrepreneurship projects from all over the world. We received more than 60 project applications for the roadshow, and after strict screening, 14 outstanding university Web3 entrepreneurship projects stood out. In the roadshow on August 31, 2023, we invited more than 30 top global investment institutions. The Web3 global university entrepreneurship Demo Day aims to provide roadshow opportunities for students from major universities around the world who aspire to start businesses in the Web3 field and help them better develop on the entrepreneurial path.

During this Demo Day, top investment institutions and investors provided professional evaluations for various entrepreneurial projects, as well as valuable industry insights and suggestions.

The evaluation criteria cover five dimensions: product completeness, technical feasibility, team background, business model, and market analysis, with equal weight assigned to each dimension. The final ranking is:
