Web3 Devs Underground hosts its monthly meetup on Wednesday, July 29, bringing together founders and builders for a hands-on session on protecting startup runway from currency volatility. Raised in dollars? Spending in shekels? You’ve likely lost 30% of your runway in the last two years — and never noticed. Most Israeli startups raise in USD but never hedge. The result? Capital raised two years ago is now worth 30% less. CEOs effectively handed their employees a 30% monthly bonus through exchange rates without anyone realizing it. Prices go up, buying power goes down – and the startup pays the price. This meetup gives founders practical tools to stop the bleed – in builder language.
