500 Startups In Blockchain We Trust: The Blockchain Track?

We know you are well experienced in distributed networks, cryptography and security and want to use blockchains to change the world.  However you also know that to build a truly impactful blockchain-oriented company at crypto speed, you need help in community building, token design, marketing, business development, hiring, and much more.  We are here for you.

In addition, each week we will hold a roundtable discussion where you can get advice from 500 Startups’ community of blockchain mentors. These influential community builders range from mentors who have successfully completed their own token sale to owners of exchanges.

Throughout the program you will also interact with fellow blockchain founders and investors with whom you will share information, explore opportunities and build connections with.
