OnlyFounders Partners with MAGA to Accelerate APAC Market Entry for Web3 Founders
OnlyFounders, the global fundraising platform for Web3 startups, has announced a strategic partnership with Make APAC Great Again (MAGA), the largest collective of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and community influencers from the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This partnership is set to unlock significant growth opportunities for early-stage Web3 founders seeking to tap into the APAC market, a region that is often complex and difficult to navigate without the right local expertise.
Unlocking APAC for Web3 Founders
APAC remains a largely untapped market for many early-stage Web3 founders, primarily due to its diverse cultures, languages, and intricate market dynamics. With a vast network of over 200 KOLs, thought leaders, community builders, and content creators, MAGA offers a unique value proposition for founders looking to make inroads into this complex market. MAGA’s reach, with over 1 million social media followers across the region, enables early-stage founders to connect with local experts and access actionable insights on go-to-market (GTM) strategies, cultural guidance, and community building.
A Partnership Built on Network Effects
The decision to partner with OnlyFounders was a natural fit, according to Sook , Founder of MAGA. Both MAGA and OnlyFounders share a common mission to create exclusive, high-impact communities that amplify the network effect. Sook emphasizes that this partnership will give founders a cost-effective way to tap into the right networks in APAC, without the need for expensive marketing campaigns or sponsorships at events.
“MAGA and OnlyFounders are both dedicated to building exclusive communities that offer genuine support and amplify the impact of founders,” Sook said. “Through this partnership, we can provide our founders with access to an unparalleled network of local influencers, KOLs, and experts, ensuring they can effectively execute their GTM strategies with minimum cost and maximum impact.”
Benefits for Investors in the OnlyFounders Network
Investors in the OnlyFounders ecosystem will benefit from MAGA’s deep local expertise and established relationships within the APAC region. For many early-stage founders, marketing and outreach to APAC can be a significant drain on resources. With MAGA’s guidance, founders can connect directly with the right influencers, maximize the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns, and avoid wasting budgets on ineffective strategies. MAGA’s KOLs are proven influencers with deep experience in Web3, providing real value beyond just large follower counts.
“MAGA’s network allows founders to achieve the most cost-effective and impactful marketing strategies possible, which is crucial when resources are limited,” quoted Moe, Founder and CEO from OnlyFounders. “This partnership will help our founders accelerate their growth in APAC without overspending on traditional marketing methods.”
Helping Founders Navigate Cultural Nuances in APAC
One of the critical challenges for founders entering the APAC market is understanding the vast cultural differences across countries. MAGA excels at guiding founders through the complexities of the APAC region, helping them identify which markets to prioritize based on their product-market fit. This localized approach has already helped several Web3 startups succeed in their marketing campaigns and gain traction in APAC markets.
“We’ve seen founders struggle with navigating the cultural and market differences within APAC,” Sook explained. “Our approach helps them understand these nuances, ensuring they don’t waste time and resources trying to apply a one-size-fits-all strategy. One Web3 dApp campaign we managed was the most successful one they had, thanks to our tailored approach.”
Advice for Founders in Today’s Market
For founders raising capital in today’s challenging market, MAGA and OnlyFounders emphasize the importance of clarity and focus. Sook advises founders to stick to their core mission and vision, instead of chasing market trends or buzzwords like AI. She emphasizes the need for clear answers to fundamental questions such as:
What value are you bringing to your community?
Why are you building your product or service?
Who is your target audience?
Where are they located, and how can you engage them effectively?
By staying true to these guiding principles, founders are better positioned to launch successfully, regardless of market conditions or external trends.
