DeSpace Protocol vs Startup Science

DeSwap Multichain DEX is the one-stop multichain DEX for everyday crypto trades.

Current DeFi and NFT products are still unnecessarily complex, and the volume of different offerings across the market make it difficult for new users to participate.
The disconnection between these various products result in an inefficient experience for users, requiring them to navigate between websites and hold various tokens to get the full value out of the services they’re using.
The confusion surrounding the increasing number of blockchains (EVMs and non-EVMs) makes it difficult for users to find the right blockchain for them.

Giving founders an unfair advantage

To help startups design their success, 1 founder at a time.

Why? Because wealth inequality is directly tied to entrepreneurship. 95% of people who get out of check-to-check living do so by selling a business.

It started with researching why, how, and when startups fail. We did 1,200 interviews and spent months reading the research to understand the 90% failure rate. We learned that founders keep making the same mistakes and these mistakes can be avoided. And the problems that lead to these mistakes center around people, knowledge, and financial resources.

Accelerators are designed to help startups solve these problems. But only 2% of startups who apply, are accepted into accelerators. 60% of rejected founders “failed to complete the application due to lack of knowledge.” And 70% of those startups who are accepted, came through a referral. So if you don’t know the language or are not connected into the ecosystem already your chances are slim.
