Bitget Awards Women Entrepreneurs at the Pitch’n Slay Competition


Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, hosted its first-ever pitch competition for women entrepreneurs in blockchain and crypto — Pitch’n Slay — as part of the 0xConnect conference. Winners received cash prizes, gifts from organizers and sponsors, as well as valuable feedback and recommendations from the event’s jury.
"Pitch’n Slay is part of the large-scale global initiative Blockchain4Her , launched by Bitget last year at the initiative of the company's CEO Gracy Chen. The main goal of the program is to support talented women building their businesses in the blockchain sector. Pitch’n Slay helps participants present their projects to a wider audience, receive feedback, and obtain financial support, which is crucial at the early stages of startup development," said Elizaveta Yurchenko, Head of Bitget in the CIS region.
