​About Duke Blockchain Battle

​Welcome to the Duke Blockchain Battle – a monthly pitch competition series dedicated to Web3 Founders and Investors, starting August 2023.

Every month, we carefully select 7-10 teams to present their Web3 products. Each team gets 3 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes for Q&A from the judges. Founders get a chance to interact with investors from around the world and network with the top Web3 founders as well as industry leaders from the Duke Ecosystem.

​Whether you are a VC or angel looking for your next investment, a platform looking for the next killer product, or a startup with a game-changing idea – JOIN THE DUKE BLOCKCHAIN BATTLE!
