Sino Global India Demo Day in Retrospect
Sino Global Demo Day for Web3 startups was a day-long event organised to connect the industry's top minds and innovative thinkers with high-growth startups building and solving important challenges in the space.
We had the 12 Web3 startups in the country come down and give them the opportunity to pitch their ideas in front of an audience consisting of judges, VCs and industry experts from remarkable companies like Sino Global Capital, Devfolio, FTX Ventures, ETHIndia and Buidlers Tribe.
The panel of speakers and judges included industry veterans like:
- Ian Wittkopp (COO & Head of Investment, Sino Global Capital)
- Denver Dsouza (COO, Devfolio)
- Vish (India Strategy and Ops Lead, Sino Global Capital)

- Pareen L (Co-Founder, Buidlers Tribe)
- Raghu Mohan (Co-Founder, Buidlers Tribe)
- Kumar Aakash (Principal, Matrix Partners India)

The Demo Day gave us the chance to get to know each other better, exchange ideas, learn from each other and amazing mentors on the panel and network with people with similar mindsets who share our passion for this new disruptive technology called Web3.
