What would you be missing out on by not attending PBW

Tea Startup competition is one of the largest in Europe with more than 10 million dollars in prizes. For founders, it’s direct exposure to the best funds in the industry. For investors, it’s a stream of pre-qualified transactions across three distinct verticals.
Tea institutional program it also includes dedicated days – bitcoin treasury, stablecoins, payment infrastructure, regulatory roundtables – accessible according to the permission level chosen.
