BitAngels: The Heartbeat of Blockchain Innovation and Networking
Learn How BitAngels Connects Blockchain Startups with Expertise and Investment Through Premier Networking Events
Shaping the Future of Blockchain from the Ground Up
Founded in 2013 by crypto industry luminaries Michael Terpin and David Johnston, BitAngels stands as the first and foremost angel network devoted exclusively to blockchain startups. This pioneering network has become the largest of its kind, with a profound commitment to advancing the global blockchain ecosystem through in-person networking and pitch events.
BitAngels brings together a dedicated community of experts, innovators, and investors, each deeply engaged in shaping the future of blockchain tech. We achieve this by strategically connecting promising startups and their visionary founders with the critical resources, seasoned expertise, and committed investors necessary to turn groundbreaking ideas into reality.
BitAngels accomplishes this by hosting meticulously curated networking and pitch events that serve as a dynamic platform for visionary startups. These events help facilitate meaningful dialogue, explore new possibilities, and catalyze substantial growth between founders, investors, and crypto enthusiasts. Through these interactions, we aim to create a fertile ground for innovations that can contribute to a more decentralized and efficient global economy. BitAngels excels at building connections between startups and investors, primarily through providing a space for in-person education and networking.
Empowering Early Stage Investments
Our members' early involvement in pioneering projects stands as a testament to our success. Our events have consistently served as vital launching pads for what are now prominent blockchain technologies, providing our members with opportunities to invest right from the start.
In the burgeoning days of blockchain innovation, Ethereum was featured on the BitAngels stage, introducing the world to its revolutionary smart contract technology. This momentous event offered our attendees a unique, early-bird opportunity to engage with Ethereum at its ICO, when tokens were a mere $0.30 each—a stark contrast to their later valuation! BitAngels events are celebrated for granting such valuable opportunities, enabling attendees to spot and evaluate future giants of the tech world. While we steer clear of offering investment advice, those in attendance were perfectly positioned to determine if ETH would be a welcome addition to their investment portfolios.
Our events have also seen presentations from the founders of Tether and EOS—cryptocurrencies that have significantly impacted the digital economy. Tether, as the foremost stablecoin, and EOS, with its focus on scalable decentralized applications, are just a few examples of how BitAngels members gain exposure to diverse, influential blockchain initiatives early. Similarly, Mastercoin, now rebranded as Omni, pioneered the concept of creating new currencies on top of the Bitcoin blockchain and first gained traction and support within the BitAngels community.
Celebrating Our City Leaders
Central to the success and diversity of our events are our City Leaders, who each bring their unique perspectives and local insights to the table. These dedicated individuals tailor each BitAngels gathering to reflect the culture and entrepreneurial spirit of their respective cities, ensuring that every event is not only globally relevant but also locally resonant. This personalized touch enriches our community, empowering local ecosystems while fostering a global dialogue on blockchain innovation.
These leaders plan and orchestrate events that adhere to a proven format—keynotes, panels, and startup pitches—while infusing them with their local flair and focus. This personalized approach ensures that every event resonates with its attendees, fostering a deeper connection to the community and the groundbreaking projects it supports.
Our City Leaders are the cornerstone of this thriving network. They not only host and organize events but also act as local ambassadors of the blockchain revolution. Their efforts ensure that each chapter maintains high standards of quality and relevance, catering to both seasoned investors and newcomers to the blockchain space.
Being part of BitAngels means more than attending events—it's about being immersed in a community at the forefront of technological advancement. It's about the excitement of being in the room where the future of blockchain is being shaped, where you can meet the people behind the pitches and witness the spirit of innovation in real time.
