Vasiliy Nikolaev, СЕО Protect-My-Bike - One of the entrepreneurs who got 1st place shared his experience of participating in the Startup Battle: “It was my pleasure to pitch at the Startup Battle in San Francisco and in Los Angeles. It was a great experience, we won the first place in San Francisco and right after the pitch two Judges said that they wanted to invest into our Company. We met with one of the Judges next day and made a deal for a part of the round. Startup Battle is a great tool for introducing your Startup to the local community of American investors and, if your case is good, they react immediately.”

In total 70+ VCs, Crypto investors and Angels attended the Startup Battles in 4 cities as Judges.

You can see the list at the event page: https://battle.startup.network/events/378403/#experts

We are grateful to everyone who took the time and attended as Judges! We asked one of investors whether the event can be helpful for investors:

“Seasoned investors know that to get a leg up in any industry you have to be in the room with founders when they first come up with the revolutionary product/idea. Since this is almost impossible in most cases, the next best thing is being in the room where the founders pitch their ideas for funding.  

Startup Battle offers this opportunity and takes it up a notch by "whitelisting" entrepreneurs with a solid track record, business model, and product thus saving investors precious time.
Startup Battle also features speaking panels with top people in their field discussing topics that are relevant to the current economic ecosystem. The discussions are engaging, and all the participants have unique insight into the conversation.

And let's not forget, an essential part is the "dinner/drinks/party" portion of the event where investors and entrepreneurs get the opportunity to discuss further ways of working together and more often than not striking a deal over a glass of wine”, - said Chief Solutions Officer at Beyond Enterprizes Adrian Cazan.

As usual Startup Battles were held in two stages: Panel Discussions and Startup Pitches.

In each city, there were very relevant Discussions for entrepreneurs and our guests on the following topic: “Crypto vs VC: The Latest Trends and Predictions”.  

• In New York: CIO & Portfolio Manager for Myriad Capital - Nathan Carpenter; Venture Partner Starta Ventures - Evan Madden-Peister; Partner, Crypto Global Capital, LP - Stephen Drew; Moderator: Award-winning journalist, editor and entrepreneur, and an early crypto adopter - Jeff Koyen.

Startup.Network also would like to express its gratitude the partners of the event for helping with the organizational aspects. Evelin Buchatsky and GCV LABS in Boston; Starta Ventures in New York; 500 Startups - in San Francisco, Leonard Grayver in Los Angeles, and all participating Judges.
