The Cardano Blockchain Founders Hangout #BFH is an exclusive event that connects and identifies young Africans developing the next wave of socially impactful solutions using Web3.0 tools. The #BFH 1.0 was launched in Lagos Nigeria this year by Cardano accelerator Adaverse in partnership with EMURGO Africa. To drive Cardano awareness across the country and Africa at large, the Cardano Founders Hangout recorded a huge gathering of over 200 attendees in Lagos – including startup founders in Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, blockchain evangelists, policy experts, and press media, among others – passionate about building a thriving digitally-relevant economy in Africa.
The third Blockchain Founders Hangout #BFH3.0 will be held in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria on September 25, 2022. Vincent Li and ChutaChimezie, both partners at Adaverse, will be in Abuja on Sunday to meet with entrepreneurs, startups, blockchain developers, and other company representatives to hold discussions about the challenges faced by African Web3 startups and to offer solutions for all your startup needs. The event will highlight ground-breaking Web3 projects in Africa, Adaverse portfolio companies, EMURGO Africa’s investment goals, and how young entrepreneurs can get support for startup growth.
