The energy is still fresh. The pitches were bold. And the movement? It's growing faster than ever. BASED SEA Builders Meetup – Episode 2 brought together another powerful crowd of founders, developers, investors, and community leaders to Bangkok for an evening of honest conversations and on-stage courage. And once again, Aiden Labs is proud to be helping lead it.
🔥 A Community That’s Actually Building
When we launched Episode 1, the goal was simple: to create a room where real builders could connect without filters or fluff. Episode 2 took that to another level.
On June 17th, the 7th floor of The Binary Holdings was buzzing again — not just with ideas, but with action. We saw:
⚡ Rapid-fire pitches from new and returning projects building across chains and sectors
🎤 Candid commentary from community voices, VCs, and ecosystem leaders
🔗 New partnerships forming over drinks and deep convos
👥 A growing mix of devs, designers, students, founders, and product thinkers — all aligned by one thing: they're actually shipping
No overproduced panels. No polished buzzwords. Just builders, whiteboards, and bold questions about where Web3 in Southeast Asia is really going.
As one guest put it: "I’ve been to meetups where everyone’s selling. This felt like one where everyone’s building."
✨ Highlights from the Night
Pitch stage moments that weren’t just show but sparked real feedback and follow-ups
A fireside on what’s really hard about growing in Southeast Asia from hiring to funding to regulation
Great food, chill energy, and serious brainpower packed into a few short hours
And of course, the Aiden Labs crew making sure everything ran smooth behind the scenes
From Base ecosystem projects to fresh local ideas, we saw one theme again and again: people aren’t just exploring Web3 — they’re building the next layer of it.
🤝 Who made it possible?
We couldn’t have made this night happen without our co-hosts: Aiden Labs, The Binary Holdings, and APAC DAO — each playing a key role in shaping the experience, curating the space, and bringing the right people into the room.
A special shoutout goes to the projects that stepped up and pitched live: Liquify.ventures, Origo.fun, yields.digital, and Free to Joy. Whether they were testing early ideas or showing traction, each brought real energy to the mic.
🚀 So, What’s Next?
The energy doesn’t end here. In fact, it’s scaling. Up next in this growing series:
