Our goal is to convene key stakeholders that can build partnerships, leading to widespread adoption of blockchain technology.”To address the shift away from the ICO craze of 2017-18, ELEV8CON is introducing the ELEV8 Startup Showcase, which will feature 8 organizations pitching to a live panel of judges. Each organization will be given 3 minutes to take the stage and pitch their product or service to the panel of judges, after which, the panel of judges and audience will ask one question each. The program will be grounded in more traditional venture funding models to identify promising companies with innovative business models and outstanding management teams.
