BaseCamp 001

Calling all builders!

Coinbase Ventures invites you to apply for the inaugural Coinbase Ventures Summit in LA later this year.

What: A curated, intimate gathering of top aspiring founders / operators in crypto to spend time with Brian Armstrong and the Coinbase Ventures team discussing ideas to advance the space.
Who: Whether you’re already building a crypto project or simply have an initial problem space you are passionate about, we’d encourage you to watch Brian’s video here, read through our Request for Builders, and share with us what inspires you most in crypto right now.
Goal: Cross-pollinate ideas and help catalyze the next wave of crypto startups — who knows, you may even meet your co-founder, or the next key member of your team!
Format: A mix of content and social programming, including lighting talks from Brian Armstrong and each attendee on what they are currently working on or excited about building in the crypto space — all in a collegial, peer-to-peer environment.

Coinbase is excited about supporting continued innovation in the space and Coinbase Ventures may ultimately fund some of the companies who attend, or are formed, as a result of the Summit. But more importantly, it’s a great chance to meet with other top builders in the crypto space in an intimate setting.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
