Jerome de Tychey, Founder and President of Ethereum France stated,

“As we step into the next decade, we remain committed to our mandate of creating meaningful community connections with the sole focus of enabling the industry to thrive. We also want to emphasize that we welcome the global french-speaking community to participate in the Ethereum ecosystem,”

For the first time at EthCC, the Ethereum France team will be launching EthVC a new program to fast-track meaningful relationships between the brightest companies and strategic investors. There will be dedicated workshops and talks for investors to learn and keep up with the rapidly evolving developments in the blockchain industry.

Tychey further stated,

“We want to support the startups in the Ethereum community by linking them with the opportunity to pitch their projects to high-quality strategic investors who can propel their projects to their next stage of growth. It is also our hope that EthVC investor attendees will end up with a better understanding of blockchain than their peers and have the most promising projects in their deal flows.”

There will be dedicated workshops and talks for investors to learn and keep up with the rapidly evolving developments in the blockchain industry and on the agenda are pitch sessions, which will enable a select curated pool of companies to pitch their projects to investors.
