Where Founders Met the Right VCs: Supermoon x Peanut Trade x Kolo | Token2049 Dubai

Supermoon sets the standard for quality networking and opportunity creation. Its side events, held in collaboration with key partners like Peanut Trade, Kolo, Protocol Labs alongside DeTaSECURE, Maitrix, Hivello, ICP Hubs, FullSail, and Borderless Capital, became the epicenter of action outside the main venue during  TOKEN2049 Dubai.

The week kicked off with a VC & Investor Brunch. Held at the private penthouse overlooking Dubai Marina, the brunch brought together a select group of investors, funds, and early-stage founders for conversations, meaningful introductions, and new strategic relationships. Conversations flowed, with VCs and family offices immersed in what attendees described as "quality networking, real discussions, cutting through the formalities." 

Two days later, Supermoon held its signature Startup Day. The atmosphere was electric, with reports of a "packed room" and "incredible energy."  The event featured 10 web3 startups and a jury of 7 leading VCs including: Borderless Capital, Draper Dragon, Polymorphic Capital, ConsenSys Mesh, Animoca Ventures, and Supermoon Ventures.

Startups included DeTaSecure, FullSail, Parasail, Appic DAO, Titan Network, Huddle01, Hivello, QuillAI Network, Kylix Finance, and Haiku. Projects spanned sectors from DePIN and AI to cross-chain finance and decentralized infrastructure. Titan Network claimed 1st place in the jury scoring, followed by Huddle01 in 2nd and Kylix Finance in 3rd.

Throughout the week, Supermoon also hosted its new private Member Lounges—spaces designed for co-working, podcasts, investor meetings, and curated sessions for members in their Founder and Insider tiers.

At TOKEN2049 Dubai, Supermoon focused on what it does best: creating spaces for founders and investors to build genuine, long-term connections. Through a series of well-curated events, Supermoon demonstrated its role as a consistent facilitator of startup and investor engagement, leaving the industry wondering about their next move.
