Welcome to the captivating world of Buildspace, a platform dedicated to empowering builders and turning ideas into reality. In this blog post, we’ll take you on an exciting journey through the recent Dubai IRL Event, where we as Open Info, the creators of VRFD (a public address book for Ethereum) participated with great enthusiasm.
From refining our pitch to networking with fellow builders, and engaging with investors and the public, the event offered a multitude of opportunities for growth, feedback, and improvement.
Day 1
Polishing Our Pitch and Connecting with Buildspace
The first day of the Dubai IRL Event kicked off with a meet and greet, providing an opportunity to establish connections with like-minded individuals driven by the spirit of innovation. It was here that Open Info’s team, alongside the experts from Buildspace, embarked on refining the pitch for VRFD. With invaluable guidance from the Buildspace team, our pitch transformed into a concise and compelling story that effectively communicated the essence of VRFD’s potential.
To further enhance our understanding of the entrepreneurial journey, the day also included an insightful Q&A session with Farza, the visionary founder of Buildspace. Farza’s wisdom and experiences offered a wealth of inspiration and practical advice, providing us with a solid foundation for the days to come.
Day 2
Building Bridges and Refining VRFD’s Potential
The second day revolved around actively engaging with other builders and refining the VRFD pitch through interactive sessions. We eagerly tested our refined pitch on fellow builders, inviting their feedback and suggestions. The constructive conversations not only helped us improve our pitch but also sparked new ideas and perspectives to explore.
Networking was a crucial aspect of the event, and we seized the opportunity to build mutually beneficial partnerships with other builders. Collaborations and alliances formed during the event held the promise of future collaborations, shared resources, and collective growth.
In addition to the builder interactions, the day featured an enlightening Q&A session with two previous winners of Buildspace’s Nights & Weekends Program. Their success stories, challenges, and lessons learned provided invaluable insights and motivated us to push the boundaries of innovation.

As we faced the interviews, we shared our vision, the journey of VRFD, and the transformative power it holds in revolutionizing the Ethereum ecosystem.
The highlight of the day was the open day event, where the public was invited to freely explore the projects on display, art gallery style. This was a golden opportunity to introduce VRFD to a diverse range of potential investors and the general public in Dubai.
