Pitch Day at The Bitcoin Conference is back and bigger than ever! Bitcoin Magazine and The Bitcoin Conference are on the hunt for the next generation of Bitcoin startups to compete in the ultimate Bitcoin pitch competition. Set to take place in Nashville from July 25-27 at Bitcoin 2024, the world’s largest Bitcoin conference, founders will have the opportunity to showcase their vision on Bitcoin’s grandest stage to panels of judges across 6 categories.
The categories include Layer 2 + Scaling Technology, Mining + Energy, Investing (Alpha), Open Source, Ordinals, and Locals Only (Nashville-based startups). This event has been a platform for elite Bitcoin startups since 2021, with previous winners including Debifi, Geyser Fund, Nunchuck, and more.
The Layer 2 + Scaling Technology track is focused on identifying top founders and companies working on applications related to Lightning, alternative Layer 2 proposals, cross-chain settlement, and the utilization of newly identified tech including BitVM. The Mining + Energy track will bring together innovators creating novel business applications for bitcoin mining, hardware, software, and firmware for operations, as well as the digital infrastructure for enabling the growth of bitcoin mining around the world.
The Investing track, also known as The Bitcoin Alpha Competition, sponsored by Samara Alpha Management, seeks to identify the next top Bitcoin fund manager to offer $1 million USD in seed capital to deploy their strategy. The Open Source track will recognize the top open source projects in the Bitcoin ecosystem, while the Ordinals track is seeking projects utilizing inscriptions in the form of digital collectibles or infrastructure.
Pitch Day is also shining a spotlight on Nashville-based Bitcoin startups with the Locals Only track. If you think you have what it takes to compete, interested startups and open source projects can apply to participate in Bitcoin Pitch at Bitcoin 2024.
For those interested in sponsoring the event, opportunities for title sponsorship, individual track sponsorship, or involvement as a judge are available. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to be a part of the future of Bitcoin innovation!
