Over a thousand crypto startups apply, ten make the main stage at TOKEN2049 Singapore, and the jury is made up of general partners who actually write checks. Finalists get equity-free prize money, a startup stand on the floor, full speaker perks and three team tickets: and the judges are explicitly free to make investment offers outside the prize. Open to companies incorporated from 2023 onwards that have raised under $5M; applying is free and closes 14 September. For an early-stage crypto founder this is the highest-leverage thing to do with TOKEN2049 week.
