Why are you participating for Based India?

Roast Capital is deeply aligned with Base's mission to bring a billion people onchain.

What challenges are you focusing on?

Consumer adoption. Simplifying complicated technology for the masses. User experience, and the incentives of the apps operating on the consumer side of crypto.

How does your submission address this challenge?

Roast capital brings together the top minds of crypto, non-crypto consumers, VCs from Web2 to provide critical but useful feedback to the founders of consumer crypto. We allow founders to test out the viability and the usability of the idea by validating in front of a closed-loop audience, cutting-short their journey of feedback and TTL for their iterations.

Challenges I ran into

It was important to strike a balance between being a Roast-oriented show and a place where founders get real feedback. Additionally, coordinating people from different walks of life, and bringing them together to create a net-positive environment for everyone was a tricky space.

Additional Features

Season 2 is a brand-new concept that brings the "capital" part of the Roast Capital into the play for the first time. We are innovating the space with new form of prize victory per episode, new recording methods and a whole set of theme-based episodes.
