EthVC

EthVC is an event that coincides with the EthCC conference, both happening at the same location. Participating in the EthCC conference grants eligibility for EthVC. The primary objective of EthVC is to facilitate a connection between venture capitalists (VCs) seeking a deeper understanding of blockchain technology and the exploration of innovative projects. It serves as a platform for blockchain projects and companies that have limited VC networks and access, providing them with an opportunity to secure funding. The "EthVC Track" offers a distinctive three-day program, where VCs and carefully selected blockchain-based projects can engage in meaningful interactions and exchange valuable insights. ^[10]
