What is the most promising blockchain startup in 2020? In this digital event, we’ll find out. Startups compete in two categories: Idea and Seed. The first round consists of 10 startups that give 1-minute pitches. Startups are then judged by the attendees (you!) via a poll. The best 3 startups then get to pitch in front of the jury.
Format: Online talk via Zoom; Zoom dial-in URL will be sent previously to the online talk.
Idea Stage: Blockchain startups with less than 200,000 EUR in funding OR revenue.
Seed Stage: Blockchain startups with more than 200,000 EUR in funding OR revenue, but who have not raised their Series A yet.
Voting: Startups can apply to take part in the event, the audience and a hand-picked jury of 5 blockchain experts will vote together for the winner of the award.
Award: As a prize, the winning startups will receive an NFT token representing the price for 2020.
