The Greenhouse Program, an eagerly awaited event that facilitates one-on-one interactions between top venture capitalists (VCs) and emerging Web3 startup teams from across Southeast Asia, is set to make its mark at NEAR APAC in Vietnam. This event has been carefully crafted to bridge the gap between VCs and the most promising founders, propelling the adoption of Web3 technology throughout the region.
For startups joining The Greenhouse, a unique opportunity awaits—to meet, network, and engage in “speed dating” sessions with top-tier VCs in the region. This presents an invaluable chance to gain insights and feedback on their pitch decks and business models. Additionally, startups will have the opportunity to learn from fellow Web3 innovators and experienced industry leaders for coveted prizes, including funding, mentorship, and robust marketing support.
Fostering Growth
NEAR APAC 2023, a two-day conference and pitch event jointly organized by the Near Foundation, GFI, and VBI, serves as the backdrop for The Greenhouse Program. Participants can look forward to immersive experiences in a virtual reality playground, inspiring technology showcases, and exhilarating NFT and gaming activities. Notably, attendees can explore the exclusive Web3 Dating zone tailored specifically for startups and venture capitalists at The Greenhouse.
