From Market Crash to $950K Payouts: CEDE LABS’ Road to Profitability

Ambition and consistency win over hype. At ETHCC in Cannes, Austin from Dead Bear Podcast sat down with Gabriel Begazo, Co-founder and COO of CEDE LABS, the team behind CEDE Hub.

The toughest challenges? Finding product–market fit and building a team with long-term commitment. CEDE LABS weathered the post-FTX and Terra crash by focusing on real value and reaching cash-flow positive status. In just seven months, they’ve distributed about $950,000 USDT through their programs.

Gabriel credits resilience for surviving near-collapse eight months ago when they had only a few months of runway left. He also emphasized the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded, ambitious people, noting that the right team culture can make the difference between failure and growth.

His advice to founders: commit, meet people in person, and focus on creating meaningful products.
