Testimonial
Collaborating with Grow With Guava has been a game-changer for Optimism. Their innovative approach and hands-on support were instrumental in making them an impact in the Superchain SuperFest a success. With SuperFest, they led our efforts on supporting the virtual hackathon which delivered a successful hackathon with about 1000 hackers. This includes the team owning, event production and execution, owning the content calendar and working with other teams offering bounties for the hackathon. Beyond the SuperFest hackathon, their support of across the Superchain must be noted. Their experience and skills supported Ink’s Devcon Bangkok activation with an elevated experience. Creating a space where builder conversations and Ink’s ecosystem were spotlighted. Guava’s dedication and vision have made a lasting impact, and we’re excited to continue working with them. The team are not only a joy to work but their experience, network, skills and taste will help any project achieve its event goals.
