​Another tech event in January? One you'll actually want to come to? Oh yeah.

​No, this is not a demo day.

​On the docket:

​Networking with Tier 1 investors (if you don't get accepted to this event, we'll host more in the future), a few short startup pitches from some of our portcos, and some badass speakers (TBA).

​I promise the pitches will be short (2 mins each) but worth it. These companies are absolutely killing it. There will be lots of time for mingling, etc.

​
This investment process was incredibly competitive with a long application & screening process, and these are the top companies that made it through (I mean, what do you expect? Tim Draper is on their cap table!).

​We're talking really solid companies targeting verticals like DeFi, RWAs, DePin, and more.

​What we do:

​​Well, as Dave Letterman would say, my next guest needs no introduction, in this case neither does Draper, but in case you haven't come across us:

• ​Our Seed/Series A fund's crypto portfolio is valued at over $100 billion and includes investments such as:

  • ​​CoinBase

  • ​​Telegram

  • ​​FileCoin

  • ​​Ledger

  • ​​Unstoppable Domains

  • ​​Neo

  • ​​VeChain

  • ​​Polygon

  • ​​Gemini

• ​​DraperU Alumni have built crypto companies currently valued at $4 billion (and I am not talking peak!), some of these are:

  • ​​Harmony

  • ​​HighStreet

  • ​​Lemon

  • ​​Qtum

​​Hopefully that's a good enough TLDR!

​Why you should come:

​We're used to putting on the best events in San Francisco, with some of our most recent guests including David Sacks (White House AI & Crypto Czar, All-In), Matt Angle (Paradromics, $100m raised), Kian Sadeghi (Nucleus Genomics, $30m raised), Scott Dietz (2x unicorn CEO), Delian Asparahouv (Founders Fund, Varda Space, $90m raised), and more.

​I promise you'll have a good time (if you get accepted!).

​Our Partners:

​Stellar Development Foundation

​The Stellar x Draper Embark program wouldn't possible without Stellar.

​Stellar is a decentralized, public blockchain that gives developers the tools to create experiences that are more like cash than crypto. The network is faster, cheaper, and far more energy-efficient than most blockchain-based systems. It’s designed so Stellar’s ecosystem can make a real-world, lasting impact.
