The Capital Circle, in partnership with Times of Blockchain, has initiated the Founders & Funders Forum to enhance fundraising for decentralized startups. This forum aims to connect early-stage and Series A tech founders with institutional investors, including venture capital firms and family offices. By implementing a rigorous selection process, only startups with validated technology and clear profitability paths will gain access to funding opportunities. The forum departs from traditional conference models by emphasizing effective networking, intensive deal sourcing, and private capital associations. This structured approach allows for productive discussions and actionable outcomes, benefiting both founders and investors. Times of Blockchain plays a crucial role in providing market insights and enhancing the visibility of participating startups. The event also includes a diverse range of blockchain specialists, ensuring that startups receive comprehensive support for compliance and operational scaling post-funding. Admission is competitive, with strict criteria based on technical merit and institutional track record, making it a prime opportunity for founders and investors in the decentralized economy.
