The 10 Minute Pitch Show, hosted by Kody and sponsored by Layer One X, features projects pitching for 10 uninterrupted minutes to an audience acting as “sharks.” The session emphasizes technology and problem-solving, with a strict no-token-price-talk rule. Below is a summary of the pitches from PIPE gDAO / PGF Ecosystem, Triumph Games, and Awebo WTF.
PIPE gDAO / PGF Ecosystem
Presenter: Batsi (PIPE gDAO)
Focus: A members-only ImpactFi and RWA ecosystem transforming university research into investable DeSci projects via Web3.
Key Points:
- Addresses the “European Paradox”: €500B annual R&D spend in Europe yields low commercialization (83% of innovations don’t reach market).
- Uses Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) for rigorous project vetting, claiming 95% success rate for university ventures vs. 5% for typical startups.
- Components:
- PGF Design Launchpad: Tokenized fund for DeSci projects, sourced from the “pipe” Web2 platform.
- GStarter: Upcoming Q4 launchpad with liquid staking tokens, anti-rug security, and community-driven project selection.
- gDAO Token: Governance and membership token on Layer One X’s Quantum DeX.
- Patrons PFP Portrait App: Token-gated NFT portraits as proof of patronage, with increasing minting costs (100 gDAO tokens from Q1 next year).
- Funding: Targets €2M per project; ongoing presale (~$1M) and public sale (~$1.5M).
- Multichain: Live on Avalanche, Arbitrum, etc., with plans to adopt Layer One X as native chain.
PGF aims to bridge university innovation to markets with a community-driven, multichain approach, but success rate claims need data verification.
Triumph Games
Presenter: Matthew Neggy, COO
Focus: Sustainable GameFi with mainstream appeal, focusing on quality gameplay and tokenomics.
Key Points:
- Games:
- Battle Rise: D&D-inspired fantasy RPG.
- ArmorX: Futuristic monster-hunter in alpha, nearing closed beta.
- Legends of Elumia: Acquired project with growing DAU (150 to >2,000), transitioning to MMO.
- TRY Token: Powers NFT marketplace, prediction markets, and tournaments; emphasizes skill-to-earn rewards.
- User-Generated Content: No-code dungeon builder; creators monetize via NFT packs and player fees.
- Onboarding: No NFT gate; seamless wallet integration via Thirdweb (Immutable, Arbitrum).
- Emotive AI: €1.2M grant to develop conversational NPCs, starting with Battle Rise’s shopkeeper.
- Roadmap: TRY token TGE in October; community presale via Alpha Mind.
Triumph prioritizes accessible, high-quality games with innovative AI and creator-driven monetization, aiming to onboard Web2 gamers to Web3.
Awebo WTF
Presenter: Co-Founder
Focus: A secure launchpad for meme and utility tokens on Layer One X.

- Ecosystem: Plans to onboard a multi-million-dollar conservation project.

Awebo WTF focuses on secure token launches and ecosystem growth, but details on security and projects remain pending.
