“Interest in Bitcoin, blockchain and crypto technology is at an all time high. Everyone from billionaires to your grandparents are asking questions about it. We’re here to answer them.” — Ashlie Meredith, Head of Education at MouseBelt and Co-Director of REIMAGINE.
The decision to launch a virtual conference series comes after our years of experience offering remote acceleration, educational, and event services. Most recently, we launched a free, virtual, Startup School to provide founders of very early stage projects with the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for investment or placement in accelerator programs at MouseBelt and beyond. The virtual conference and networking event is designed to connect blockchain talent to infrastructure and industry. The goal is to welcome enthusiasts far and near to share their experiences and education. The team hopes these stories can serve as both entertainment and advice for the students and professionals alike tuning in.
