Vetting Process
D-Day’s Comprehensive Vetting Process: Ensuring Business Legitimacy, Scalability, and Long-term Impact
At D-Day, our rigorous vetting process ensures only credible, scalable, and impactful startups enter our ecosystem. Each startup undergoes a comprehensive, multi-stage evaluation combining thorough due diligence across technology, market readiness, team credibility, and business viability, ensuring each project aligns with our vision for real-world impact in Web3.
We don’t just verify—we actively de-risk startups to ensure they're built for long-term adoption, sustainability, and meaningful community engagement.
Step 1: Market & Technology Due Diligence
Before startups join the D-Day ecosystem, we carefully evaluate their technology, business viability, and market readiness:
🔹 Technical & Product Legitimacy
✅ Original Innovation: Is the startup leveraging proprietary technology or unique innovations, rather than merely repackaging existing tools or APIs?
✅ Product Maturity: Is the product market-ready or realistically positioned for timely deployment?
🔹 Market Potential & Viability
✅ Clear Problem & Solution: Does the startup clearly address a real-world problem with demonstrable market demand?
✅ Competitive Landscape: Does it have a clearly defined market niche, competitive advantages, and differentiation?
🔹 Scalable & Sustainable Business Model
✅ Realistic Roadmap: Are growth milestones achievable, realistic, and financially viable?
✅ Economic Scalability: Is the business model structured for sustainable growth and profitability, even in challenging market conditions?
Step 2: Founder Interviews – Credibility & Execution Capability
Technology alone doesn't guarantee success—great teams do. We closely assess founder credibility, team dynamics, and their capability to execute a sustainable vision:
🔹 Team Integrity & Accountability
✅ Full Transparency & KYC: All founders undergo identity verification and background checks to ensure accountability.
✅ Proven Track Record: Does the team have demonstrable prior success or relevant experience in scaling startups?
🔹 Vision & Strategic Clarity
✅ Long-Term Commitment: Are the founders dedicated to sustainable business growth rather than short-term speculative gains?
✅ Market & Customer Clarity: Can they clearly articulate who their customers are and how they plan to reach them?
Step 3: Final Approval & Ecosystem Integration
Our final stage involves a cross-functional review by industry advisors, business strategists, and technical specialists, ensuring comprehensive risk mitigation and alignment with our vision:
🔹 Rigorous Risk Assessment
✅ Comprehensive Due Diligence: Confirming no hidden risks exist in technology, team, or business plans.
