Overview

Product Launches & GTM

Over the last 7 years, I’ve led go-to-market strategies for multiple Web3 and fintech product launches, from educational platforms to full Layer-1s and DeFi banking apps. Each launch required aligning product, community, and partnerships to deliver adoption and momentum from day one.

Example 1: DCX Learn by CoinDCX

  • Launch Date: June 2020

  • Objective: Make crypto and blockchain education accessible to millions in India.

  • What I Did: Defined brand positioning (“Crypto Education for All”), oversaw content strategy (courses, guides, partnerships like Zubi), and drove promotional campaigns.

  • Results: Coverage in mainstream outlets (YourStory, TechCircle, LiveMint), tied to #TryCrypto goal of onboarding 50M Indian users.

Example 2: Scallop Banking App & Cards

  • Launch Date: November 29, 2021 (EU soft launch)

  • Objective: Bridge traditional and digital finance with a DeFi-powered banking app and crypto cards.

  • What I Did: Directed GTM across 27 EU markets, positioned Scallop as the first regulated DeFi banking platform, and rolled out campaigns around app features (wallets, fiat/crypto exchange, card integration).

  • Results: Press coverage on Nasdaq, Finextra; strong early adoption with multi-country user base and roadmap visibility for future features (NFT marketplace, expanded cards).

Example 3: KernelDAO Mainnet Launch

  • Launch Date: April 2025

  • Objective: Transition KernelDAO into a live restaking protocol with token integration.

  • What I Did: Led GTM strategy, orchestrated launch comms with TGE, drove developer and community adoption, managed content (blogs, tutorials, launch threads).

  • Results: $10M+ restaked in the first hour, strong early staking traction, and alignment of ecosystem partners during launch window.

Key Takeaways / Playbook

  • A launch isn’t just a release, it’s narrative, sequencing, and trust.

  • Aligning education + partnerships + media is what sustains momentum post-launch.

  • Early adoption is won by clear messaging + incentivization + coordinated community engagement.
