German Blockchain Award 2021: Who are the winners?
About the event
The German Blockchain Award 2021 was designed by Blockrocket to honor the best early-stage blockchain startups that are present in the DACH region.
On December 8th, 30 blockchain startups competed in three different categories (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A) in front of 500+ leading executives, founders, and investors from the blockchain ecosystem in Germany. You can watch the video online here.
Fiery Competition
During the Elevator Pitches, each startup had only 60 seconds to impress the audience. No matter how complex a business model might be, it’s always a tough challenge for each founder to simplify their elevator pitch when they want to share their idea. In each of the three categories, 10 prominent startups needed to find the quickest way to get their ideas across and persuade the audience to vote for them during the live session.
After the best 3 startups for each category were selected, each of them had 5 mins to pitch their company more in detail, with a 5 min Q&A follow-up from our jury. In the end, our jury voted for the winner of each award category.
