Sui Tank 2025: Kevin O’Leary Joins Builders in High-Stakes Pitch Event
At SuiFest 2025, five builder teams competed for $150,000 in funding during the sui Tank pitch event. Judged by Kevin O’Leary and Mysten Labs co-founders Adeniyi Abiodun and Kostas Chalkias, the competition emphasized creativity and community engagement over equity. Projects could secure up to $30,000 each, with teams employing humor and storytelling to stand out.
Zac Steele, CEO of Flashback, described the experience as nerve-wracking yet rewarding. The event, hosted by the SUI Foundation, served as a platform for builders to test ideas and gain feedback from industry leaders. Unlike traditional pitch competitions, SUI Tank focused on fostering innovation within the Sui ecosystem.
