I built an app that I genuinely believe in .. now I have no idea how to get it funded. Any founders been here?

Hey guys 👋 So about a year ago I had an idea that I couldn’t shake. Millions of people play competitive video games every single day — Madden, NBA 2K, COD — and there is literally no safe place for them to play each other for real money. The informal wagering already happens constantly, it just happens on Cash App and handshakes with zero protection.
So I built the infrastructure for it. Non custodial, meaning nobody holds the funds but a smart contract. Winner gets paid automatically. The crypto side is completely invisible to the user — feels like a normal app. I spent months figuring out the tech, the legal angle, the tokenomics, all of it. Self taught. No computer science degree. Just obsession and Google.
The site launches in a few weeks and I’m in that weird middle ground that I think a lot of founders hit — the product is almost real but I’m pre revenue, pre users, and trying to raise a early round without the metrics investors usually want to see.
I’ve been grinding Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, cold DMs, angel investor pages, everything. Some days feel like momentum and some days feel like screaming into a void.
For the founders who’ve been here — how did you break through this phase? Did you find your first investor through warm network or cold outreach? Any advice on approaching angels when you’re pre launch would mean a lot.
Also happy to connect with anyone in the Web3 or gaming space who’s building something interesting. Always looking to expand my network.

Ambitious project.. who’s in? 👀

Hey guys 🙂I built an app and I truly believe this is something special. Game changing actually.

I didn’t see a problem. I saw a void. And I built a vessel to fill it.

It’s called BulldoggX. Gamers can play Madden, NBA 2K, Tekken, Halo, COD — basically any game — head to head for real cash. Best player wins and gets paid instantly and automatically.

Here’s what makes it different from anything out there:

These are games of pure skill so we’re legally compliant where most apps aren’t. And because we’re non custodial — meaning no platform ever holds your money — we sit in a completely different legal category than traditional gambling apps.
The crazy part? Users never touch crypto once. We create wallets, handle the swap, and settle everything through smart contracts completely behind the scenes. To the average gamer it just feels like a normal app. They have no idea they’re actually holding crypto and using blockchain technology. That’s the Web2.5 magic.

Is this ambitious? Absolutely. This needs serious capital to scale to the level I’m envisioning. We’re talking Facebook level infrastructure for gaming. Someone has to build it. We are.
One serious investor can change everything.
If you want to be part of something real from the ground up my DM is open. 🐾

If there was an app you could play madden h2h online for real $ and paid out instantly after the match.. and the site takes no cut player gets all the winnings.. how much could you make a month? What would stop you from trying it out ?

I built the app, we’re going to launch in a few weeks and I just wanted some thought from the madden community. Go to bulldoggx dot com, get on the waitlist you’ll get free $BGX tokens on launch day. The tokens have no value yet.. but play matches on the app and rack it up , when we launch the token in a couple months you can cashout for real $. You do not need to know anything about crypto to play this app it runs as a regular App Store app no wallets or phrase let’s needed. Take a look and give me some tips you may have for my journey to launch, any ideas you may have, and if your Intrested in investing or partnerships . My DMs are open . Thanks love you all 🐶

Hey everyone,
I’m the founder of Bulldoggx — a non-custodial P2P gaming exchange built for competitive console gamers. Think Madden, NBA 2K, UFC.
The concept is simple. Two players wager on a match. Smart contract holds the funds. Winner gets paid automatically. No middleman. No platform holding your money. No disputes.
We’re almost ready to launch and before we do we’re giving away free $BGX tokens to everyone who joins the waitlist early.
Why are we doing this?
Because the people who believed in us before launch deserve to benefit the most when we grow. That’s it. No gimmick.
What is $BGX?
$BGX is the Bulldoggx utility token. Once we launch it will be used for:
• Reduced platform fees for token holders
• Exclusive wagering tournaments and events
• Community governance — holders vote on platform decisions
• Staking rewards for long term holders
• IDO allocation priority when we go public
What is it worth right now?
Honestly? Nothing yet. We’re pre-launch and the token has no market price.
But here’s the reality — every token that has ever launched started at zero. The people who got in early on projects they believed in before the market priced them are the ones who look back and wish they got more.
We’re not promising you a lamborghini. We’re offering you a seat at the table before the table is even set.
How do you get free $BGX?
1. Go to bulldoggx dot com
2. Join the waitlist
3. That’s it — your wallet gets allocated $BGX at launch
Who is this for?
• Competitive gamers who play Madden, 2K, or UFC and want real stakes
• Crypto holders who understand early token opportunity
• Web3 believers who see where gaming is going
• Anyone who likes free things with real upside potential 😂
Happy to answer any questions. I’m here and I’m real.
— Jordan, Founder & CEO of Bulldoggx

Why isn’t there an actual app for gamers to play h2h for crypto ..?

This should have been built 10 yrs ago .. I wonder why this is ? With millions of gamers playing for nothing but bragging rights and skins ? Just seems crazy to me 🤔
