Final Words

Reflecting on these 15 projects from EASY S1, the biggest takeaway is: time is the best test of value.

Everyone’s background is impressive: top universities, big company experience, leading VCs—yet in a short period, differences are clear:

• Some, backed by @yzi_labs, are already on Binance Spot, e.g., @APRO_Oracle
• Some have secured tens of millions in funding, e.g., @VideoTutor_io
• Some have made significant progress, e.g., @StableStock approaching a strategic round, @MeetHubble as a Top 10 Finalist at ETHGlobal Buenos Aires 2025
• Others face challenges.

The entrepreneurial journey is a life-and-death battle; holding resources and halos doesn’t guarantee safety.

The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago; the second best is now. The fruits of S1 are ripening, and the seeds of S2 have just sprouted. We will continue to follow every step of these builders.
