Love at First Pitch? Startups and VCs try speed dating at Devcon!

Building on the success of Token2049 - where the Speed Dating event brought startups and VCs together in a room with $6 billion in assets under management—the Bangkok edition raised the bar. From hundreds of startup applications, 23 standout projects were selected, joined by notable investors and VCs.

In collaboration with partners Peanut Trade, Mind Network, Bitte Protocol, Units Network, GLIF, Supermoon Ventures, and Cointelegraph, this activation was one of six that Supermoon hosted during DevCon. The Speed Dating session, held at The Great Room in Park Silom, provided a dedicated space for founders and investors to connect efficiently in just two hours—all while enjoying spectacular views of Bangkok.
