Top3 Web3 Products of the Week #12
Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day break!
It’s one of my favorite times of the year to get away and take stock of the progress we’ve made so far. And most importantly, see where there are areas for improvement. This year, I went up to the Pennsylvania mountains, in the Poconos to a quiet retreat over the weekend to reflect.
In the first 6 months of the year, we’ve grown to over 12,500 subscribers and featured over 30 companies. We’ve also started video interviews for founders we feature. If you’d like to see your product or community on our platform one day soon, please fill out this form anytime. (And please don’t forget to share with a friend —> we accept nominations as well.)
As always, if you have any feedback to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at [email protected].
We’re in the midst of interviewing founders for our new video series. If you’d like to join in, please reach out!
To recap announcements from our last edition, we released our sponsorship tiers for the newsletter:
We also made each newsletter edition available through Mirror for collectors. Now, you can own a piece of Web3 history by minting one of our limited edition Top3 Web3 newsletters. We are making 100 available of each edition for 0.001 ETH each (less than a cup of coffee). It will also be a way for users to support the newsletter, help us sustain its growth long into the future, and get access to any special rewards, content, communities, and NFT mints we make available in the future through the StartUpRoundUp network.
You can start minting our past editions below. Thank you in advance!
Community Spotlight: Impact Theory
Impact Theory, founded by Tom Bilyeu, has quickly become one of our favorite communities in the space. Before entering Web3 in a big way in 2023 and launching the Founders Key NFT series, the company had a long track record of inspiring and supporting fresh entrepreneurs over the last decade.
Their mission is to introduce people to empowering ideas at scale through storytelling. They have an entire slate of stories in development, including their breakout collections Project Kyzen and Merry Modz. The community is vibrant, and the team is active and world-class.
Recently, Tom held a game-changing podcast on the Impact Theory channel about AI and how it’s transforming the entrepreneurship landscape forever. Small teams now have the tools to build, scale, and operate billion-dollar brands using AI. Check it out below. Highly recommend.
Web3 review protocol that helps products build credibility.
Industry: Marketing, Data, Social Media
Smoothie is a tokenized awards protocol that helps founders launch web3 projects and learn crypto, with visual storytelling.
Smoothie weights reviews and ratings based on several factors, including the reputation of the user leaving the review and whether the review is on-chain verified. This helps to ensure that the reviews and ratings are trustworthy and provide accurate feedback on the product. By considering multiple factors, Smoothie provides a more comprehensive and accurate picture of the quality of a product.
Smoothie also hosts a weekly contest where founders can showcase their web3 products.
These are called the Smoothie Awards.
10-20 products are selected to participate. Users can upvote up to 3 of their favorite products.
The winning product is determined based on a combination of factors including total upvotes and engagement.

Next generation solutions to empower collectors and protect their NFTs.
Industry: Cybersecurity, Data Storage
ClubNFT is building the next generation of tools for NFT collectors, including search, analysis, backup, recovery, appraisal, and curation — all integrated with and complementary to existing NFT marketplaces.
The company's initial product is a free solution enabling collectors to quickly and easily download and store their digital art files to wherever they see fit. Without backing up the media files associated with their NFTs, collectors run the risk of losing the full value of their investments. ClubNFT solves this challenge.
