☄️3-2-1: Cluj & Iasi – Zero to MVP in 48h

17th of December, 2025

Happy Wednesday, Comets!

Let’s begin:

3 News From Us

1. The first Sui Bootcamp in Romania was amazing!

We wrapped up the Sui Bootcamp, organised by Comets of Web3 and in partnership with Sui Foundation and it was intense in the best way possible. Over six days, over 30 participants dove deep into Move programming, zkLogin implementation, and the practical side of building on Sui.

The energy in the room was something else: builders asking the right questions, mentors sharing real solutions, and teams iterating on their ideas in real time. What stood out was how quickly people went from concepts to working prototypes, leveraging Sui's architecture to build things that actually work.

A big thanks to the Sui Foundation for helping us make this happen.

1 Idea From Others

​@0xsamgreen on pitching tips:

“If you're a founder who's raising, good pitching advice is hard to come by. [...]

Have a deck, don't just try to have a more casual conversation

The deck helps clarify what you're doing - makes it easier for her to follow along

What's the problem? What's your solution? Why is your team the one to solve it?

Keep the slide content simple and clearly related to what you're saying

Deck material should be 10-15 minutes of content

Share your big, inspiring vision, even if you're starting with something simpler

Get rid of all the acronyms

Speak slowly, don't rush through it”
