Case Study
The DefiEdge / Unbound Finance story
A 0→1→exit GTM journey — scroll through it, chapter by chapter.
Shipping the narrative before the product
Joined as a content creator and built the launch story from zero — competitor research across 10+ DeFi protocols, ICP definition, and positioning that turned a complex liquidity product into a message people could actually repeat.
Turning followers into a flywheel
Stood up ambassador programs, Twitter Spaces, and influencer outreach across Discord, Telegram, and Twitter. Translating technical depth into user-centric messaging drove 60–80% YoY engagement growth, tracked through HubSpot and custom KPIs.
Peak traction: $25M TVL, 90K community
At the top of the arc the product reached $25M TVL with a 90–100K community and 300K+ monthly impressions — repositioning across competitors lifted user retention ~30% and repeat engagement.
Owning the exit narrative
Managed the full lifecycle through to a strategic market exit — communicating wind-down to a six-figure community without eroding trust. The hardest, most underrated GTM motion: telling people the honest end of the story.
