Blockchain Applications: The New Eldorado of Startups

Since its inception by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, blockchain applications have evolved from the niche world of cryptography researchers and coders to the spotlights of skyrocketing cryptocurrencies valuations. The unforeseen rush on Initial Coin Offerings, as a new form of fundraising for startups, has completely reshuffled the traditional financing ecosystem to the point where venture capitalists’ model is being challenged. During this session, we will present the different forms of fundraising available for startups and, beyond the hype, we will discuss how blockchain technologies can be used not only to access new sources of capital but also to fuel a new wave of innovation for entrepreneurs.
