BV Pitchfest
Bufficorn Ventures’ Buffitank Pitchfest returns for its second year; this time, we're expanding our horizons. We spotlight the broader ETHDenver ecosystem's most groundbreaking and innovative early-stage startups. ETHDenver's Pitchfest will take place on Sunday, March 3, 2024. BV's Buffitank Pitchfest provides a space for the many teams who have already organized themselves and are looking for investment, customers, and exposure. Ideally, teams already have a close connection to the ETHDenver/ SporkDAO community.
The Pitchfest is for startup teams, not those participating in the ETHDenver Buidlathon - they already have a spotlight. Our top 10 teams will present to 10 or 20 of our favorite VCs on the main stage and compete for bragging rights, invitations to join BV and other cohorts, and funding.
Regular Submission Deadline: Feb 15, 2024 by 11:59 pm MST
