"I'm so proud that we managed to host such an event as DCVC. When you conduct updates, you always worry whether your audience is satisfied with the result. We did everything to make DCVC different from our previous Crypto Thursdays and any other crypto events. We focused on selectivity, added a bit of art, and broadened the audience — and here's the result. Besides, we raised the event status with the top executives in the C-level zone. In my opinion, the reboot was an absolute success", says Marat Minkin, creator and ideological inspirer of the event.

As a result, the startups got a professional point of view and budgets, and VCs found the investment options. Well, everyone profited", says Wasim Al imam, co-founder of TONBanking Foundation.
