Faculty Group makes Waves on Day 1 at TOKEN2049: Focus on Networking and Strategic Collaborations
On the first day of the eagerly-awaited TOKEN2049 conference, Faculty Group emerged as a major player in what is expected to be the world's largest Web3 event this year. From engaging meetings to strategic network building, the team found its footing and made its presence felt among key industry players. Here are a few highlights from our team on the ground in Singapore:
Luke Lombe had an action-packed day as he met with a myriad of influential individuals from DeFi to Data. He sat down with Simon Barnby and Andrew Flatt from Archax, the FCA regulated institutional-grade digital securities exchange. Their discussions circled around potential avenues for strategic investments and partnerships in the DeFi sector and the proposed change to UK regulation coming on 8th October 2023.
Additionally, he also met Jacob Ko from Superscrypt, where they discussed the evolving smart contract ecosystem and its implications for digital asset investments.
The team also met with Ganesh, the founder of Covalent, an enterprise focussed on making blockchain data easier to access and understand. The conversations went into the details of data-driven investment strategies, a sign of the growing sophistication in the Web3 investment landscape.
Sam O'Leary, Faculty Group's resident guru for all things KOLs, had a rendezvous with famed crypto influencer Coach K. The lively conversation centred on upcoming trends, the role of influencers in crypto adoption, and what 2024 may hold for the crypto universe. They also discussed the risk and rewards for projects when it comes to influencer marketing.
Broadening Our Investment Horizons
In a meeting with Avalanche, our team and their DeFi BD discussed potential investment opportunities in the DeFi space, and what they are focussed on for the rest of this year.
Luke Lombe also had an engaging conversation with Scott Melker at Wakuda, a platform dedicated to promoting black-owned businesses, hinting at our broadening scope and social impact intentions.
Sebastian Cheek, Vice President at Faculty Group, was also in on the action as he met with the Head of Europe at GSR, further solidifying Faculty Group’s reach within the financial world. The two discussed possible collaborations and the future of digital assets in Europe.
Adding to the day's success, the team also interacted with at least 20 venture capital firms, thereby widening their network and opening doors for future collaborations.
Our week at TOKEN2049 demonstrates our commitment to building meaningful relationships and setting the stage for future collaborations with partners and investors across the space. With several more days to go in this landmark event, we are geared up to continue making impactful contributions to the crypto and Web3 communities. Stay tuned for more highlights and insights.
