In the heart of Austin's dynamic downtown, the city's vibrant energy converged with the spirit of innovation on September 12, 2023, at the Permissionless Afterparty hosted by OnePiece Labs. Despite the challenges faced at the Permissionless Conference due to the current bear market, which experienced slightly lower attendance than anticipated, the afterparty proved to be a resounding success. As the afterparty of the Permissionless Conference, we believed that fostering conversations was more important than simply listening, and we aimed to create a supportive and connected Web3 community.
We had over 1.6K registrants and more than 800 attendees, igniting the enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit of the Web3 community. OnePiece Labs' mission is to support Web3 startups through networking, mentorship, and resource access, and our presence at events like this is a testament to that commitment.
With the Web3 industry on the cusp of transformation, this event brought together pioneers, enthusiasts, and investors to celebrate the potential of blockchain technology and decentralized ecosystems. Our afterparty went above and beyond the typical afterparty experience, serving delicious food that exceeded the usual afterparty fare and offering unlimited beverages. Guests enjoyed good food, wine, and good times while networking.
The collaboration between OnePiece Labs and co-host OKX, sponsor Raydius, along the support of Dino, amplified the evening's impact. As the premier incubator for Web3 startups, we are dedicated to results-driven outcomes and the success of our portfolio companies. This dedication extends to creating opportunities for meaningful connections at events like this.
Alongside these experiences, we showcased our sponsors' related content, such as a photo booth that attracted guests to capture memorable moments. Everyone took some small gifts home from our co-host OKX. Every sponsor was thrilled with the response, and it was evident that the event was a true collaboration.
The afterparty drew a diverse and passionate crowd, a testament to the unwavering dedication of the Web3 community. The event's success was not solely defined by numbers but by the enthusiasm and energy of those in attendance.
In addition to celebrating Permissionless, OnePiece Labs was delighted to showcase the results of our incubation efforts. Ten of our most promising incubator projects were given a platform to shine, illustrating the wealth of talent and creativity within our growing Web3 ecosystem. These projects spanned various facets of the industry, from decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to blockchain infrastructure and more.
Throughout the evening, conversations flowed freely, exchanged insights, and explored potential collaborations. The afterparty proved to be more than just an event; it was a catalyst for future endeavors and partnerships.
As we look to the future, OnePiece Labs remains steadfast in our mission to nurture and support the next wave of Web3 pioneers. Our presence at major Web3 conferences, where we organize afterparties like this, showcases we eagerly anticipate the continued growth and evolution of the industry. Stay tuned for more exciting developments from OnePiece Labs, and thank you for being a part of this extraordinary journey. See you at ETHDenver in 2024!
