SkyLaunch COO Justin Chevalier has been in the crypto space for 5 years and has been working on several DEFI projects lately. SkyLaunch wants to create a platform that helps the project before, during and after IDO, connecting the best actors in the space and ensuring every project has all the tools and resources needed to reach the success they are aiming for. The company has a full team of cryptoanalysts that are reviewing projects, talking to them, seeing the progress and whether it has good growth potential.
Ishan Pandey: Hi Justin, welcome to our series “Behind the Startup.” Please tell us about yourself and the story behind Skylaunch?
Justin Chevalier: Hi Ishan, thanks for having me today! My name is Justin, and I am the COO of SkyLaunch! I have been in the crypto space for 5 years and have been working on several DEFI projects lately.
Other than that, I studied at Grenoble Ecole de Management, where I got my masters degree in International Business, and I used to be a Sales & Marketing Manager for top IT companies such as Oracle, Runecast, and Criteo.
A lot of people are working only half time in the crypto space, but with SkyLaunch, I decided to take the leap and join the crypto world full time!
The story behind SkyLaunch is quite simple to understand: 2021 has been the year of launchpads, but all of them focus on only one thing: raising money. Many great projects are out there, and they don’t necessarily know how the cryptospace works. Networking is very important, and raising funds can be only secondary. With SkyLaunch, we want to create a platform that helps the project before, during, and after IDO, connecting the best actors in the space and ensuring every project has all the tools and resources needed to reach the success they are aiming for.
Ishan Pandey: What is the process for a blockchain project to get listed on an IDO or launchpad platform?
Justin Chevalier: We have a full team of cryptoanalysts that are reviewing projects, talking to them, seeing the progress, and whether it has good growth potential. We have our own set of criteria, and we really want to go for quality projects rather than quantity. We are here to provide long-term investment to our users, and we prefer having a few very good deals than IDOs every 2 days but with low potential.

Ishan Pandey: According to a recent report released by JPMorgan, Ethereum’s supremacy in decentralized finance (DeFi) is in jeopardy because network scaling, which is required to sustain its dominance, may emerge too late. Do you think the delay in the final phase of Sharding will have a negative impact on Ethereum’s hegemony within the DeFi space?
Justin Chevalier:
Ethereum is the leader in DeFi but some blockchains will take some market share.
There is no doubt…
