Toronto, ON – GDA Capital and Coinweb are excited to launch the “Next Top Blockchain Startup” Competition for Summer 2024, and with multiple developer tracks from blockchain infrastructure partners. The competition boasts an impressive prize pool of $200,000 USD, with more prizes likely to be secured leading up to the event. Over the four weeks of July, entrepreneurs will benefit from an educational program designed to build thriving businesses and will have the opportunity to secure vital funding by pitching their business in a live case competition setting.
The Next Top Blockchain Startup represents a route for new development teams to gain not only funding but also exposure to essential industry relationships and educational content. It is supported by leading protocols, organizations, investors, and a broad network of mentors from academia, enterprises and developer communities from all over the world.
“Guiding the next generation of blockchain entrepreneurs from ideation to realization is more than a mission; it’s a necessity for the industry’s evolution. GDA Capital is proud to be at the forefront of this transformative journey, and to host this initiative that I wish existed while I was at university, and was looking to get more immersed into the international blockchain community” states Michael Gord, Founder and CEO of GDA Capital.
“It is events like these that truly push the industry forward. We at Coinweb are eager to showcase the untapped potential residing within our community, setting the stage for the natural evolution of the internet,” says Toby Gilbert, Co-Founder & CEO of Coinweb Labs. Coinweb Labs, the core contributor of The Coinweb Protocol, the Layer 2 cross-chain protocol, has recently announced a $10M grant for startups building on the platform and has offered a portion of this grant to fuel the event.
