What the club actually does
Not a Telegram group with a logo. A working network that moves relationships, capital, and knowledge between the people actually building DeFi.
Events
Curated offline events: invite-only founder gatherings at the key conference weeks, plus access to selected partner events.
Visibility
Member spotlights in the newsletter, amplification on 𝕏, speaking and panel slots, and pitching events in front of curated capital.
Community
A private founder Telegram at the core, with the public group, the newsletter, and 𝕏 around it. Investors, accelerators, ecosystems, and service providers in the wider network.
Founder support
Business development support, fundraising guidance and warm investor introductions, liquidity strategy and LP sourcing, plus selected DFC Research.
Industry representation
Founder interests represented with the EF, EEI, and other ecosystem organizations, coordination around shared interests, and participation in industry initiatives.
Member perks
Startup deals worth six figures, including $25k in AWS credits, discounts on selected services and events, and exclusive offers from DFC partners.
