Token-as-a-Sevice (TaaS) along with the Blockchain Investors Consortium (BIC) are co-hosting the ninth edition of d10e, which will be hosted in Kyiv, Ukraine on September 16–19.
Since 2014, d10e’s conferences were hosted in Amsterdam, Bucharest, San Francisco, Singapore and Tel Aviv, and the brand has become known as the leading conference on decentralization, exploring the future of fintech, ICOs, blockchain, the sharing economy, the future of work, and disruptive culture. At d10e’s 6th edition in Bucharest in February, the founders of TaaS were just like any other regular attendee with big dreams in the crypto space, but have since become one of the most active crypto hedge funds.
“We are honored to co-host the ninth edition of d10e alongside the Blockchain Investors Consortium, and we look forward to investing in the teams coming to Kyiv to participate in the ICO pitch competition with the biggest prize in the world,” said Ruslan Gavrilyuk, co-founder and CEO of TaaS Fund.
TaaS Fund, Blockchain Capital, Consilium Group, CoinTree Capital, and Network Societies Ventures were among the first members to join Blockchain Investors Consortium (BIC). Within a month, the number of members surpassed 50, consisting of crypto hedge funds and select individual investors with over $1 billion of digital assets under management amongst themselves. The purpose of BIC is to allow its members to share due diligence and co-investment opportunities in the most promising blockchain ventures.
“We welcome any crypto hedge fund with at least $3 million worth of digital assets, and any individual with at least $1 million invested in ICOs and/or in crypto trading activity is eligible to apply to become a member of BIC,” said Mike Costache, founder of the Blockchain Investors Consortium (BIC) and co-chair of d10e.
BIC members coming to Kyiv will be judges in the ICO pitch competition on September 19 where the top three of the 20 presenting ICOs have a chance to win 70 BTC. This is not giveaway prize money, but an actual investment from BIC’s participating members, who are each chipping in 1 to 10 BTC. As more BIC members join as judges, the pool of investment prize increases. The final amount will be announced closer to the application deadline of September 12th, 2017.
