The native currency of the Internet has to enable Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and many more inventions to exist and flourish on the most secure and decentralized network.
We call for teams who are promoting freedom and driving progress by contributing to the establishment of Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange, Unit of Account and a Programmable Money.
Draper Decentralized Studio offers an 8-week program with a mission to nurture solutions built on and for Bitcoin. An individually tailored program supports teams in three directions:
The program starts with 3 teams receiving investment offers from Tim Draper.
During the program, the teams get exposure to top industry experts for strategic and tactical advice on strategy, compliance and fundraising.
The program culminates into a Demo Day providing teams with the unique opportunity to receive follow-on investments from Tim Draper and a handful of leading investors. As well, we expect at least 3 teams will join Bitcoin Venture Network, a virtual investor platform consisting of 80+ VC Firms and Family Offices.
