Neo has launched an online project pitching show called On Deck, aimed at highlighting potential projects within the Neo ecosystem. The show invites project teams to present their ideas to a panel of experts and key opinion leaders from the Neo community.
On Deck is similar in concept to Shark Tank, offering participants the chance to showcase their projects, discuss their goals, and receive valuable feedback. Rather than receiving funding offers immediately after the pitch, projects featured on On Deck gain the opportunity to improve their submissions for the Neo X Elevate program, which provides US $20 million in funding to accelerate ecosystem growth.
The premiere episode was hosted by Dylan Grabowski, editor of Neo News Today and host of The Smart Economy Podcast, alongside Guil. Sperb Machado, co-founder of AxLabs and a core contributor to Neo X.
Three projects were featured in the first episode: Pixudi, a blockchain-based party board game; MineMatrix, a trustless mining protocol utilizing zkWASM; and Assisterr, a startup focusing on community-owned small language models to explore niche use cases.
