As the crypto industry reels from scandals in March 2023, a group of driven web3 entrepreneurs embarks on a high-stakes journey to reshape the future of technology. With only three months to refine their businesses, perfect their pitches, and sharpen their innovations, they face the ultimate test: Demo Day. It’s a make-or-break moment, where they must lay everything on the line in front of a room full of potential investors. Along the way, they confront personal struggles, face down past traumas, and discover an unexpected sense of community in their shared pursuit of progress. Shot in vérité style, ANY PROBLEM IS NO PROBLEM offers a raw, human-centered look at the dreamers and idealists behind the crypto revolution. With intimate interviews and dynamic visuals, this film challenges assumptions about the world of crypto, offering a rare and compelling glimpse into the personal and collective stakes of building a more equitable, decentralized internet.
