Supermoon Tower Took Over

Denver’s iconic Clock Tower turned purple as Supermoon along with Cointelegraph Accelerator, OORT, Ammocrypt, Sunrise, KXVC and QuillAudits joined together for 2 days of curated events for founders, builders, and investors.

It all wrapped up with a Builder’s Ball which gathered over 400 founders & builders for a night of special networking.

Buildhouse Gathers Developers

Our Buidlhouse turned into the go-to spot for over 500 founders and builders during ETH Denver. We teamed up with Cointelegraph Accelerator, NDC, Horizen, and Conflux, to bring everyone together for some dev talks and workshops. Topics ranged from Web3 unicorns, gaming, hackathons, DAOs, DePINs, Interoperability, AI, Blockchain security and much more.

Everyday also co-hosted an Investors Brunch together with VNTR and Cointelegraph Accelerator, which gathered 50+ qualified investors and High net-worth individuals each day.

Each day had a different theme per sponsor. 

• Horizen launched a hacker hunt with $120k in prizes, featuring podcasts and talks on blockchain systems and growth marketing, with guests like Rolf Versluis and CEOs from Stably & Auros.

What's Next? 

We left ETH Denver exhausted, but feeling like champions, having two huge back to back successes. Now we have our sights aimed at Consensus 2024, with Mansion on the Moon set to dominate Texas! 

At Station3’s amazing offices we have been on fire hosting all manner of networking events and workshops for our community!

In December Supermoon forged a strong alliance with Station3NYC, who's enormous NYC venue located at the heart of the Financial District is perfectly suited environment for our brand of Web3 Networking, Co-Working and Workshops for Founders, Developers, thought leaders and Investors to meet, forge alliances and learn new skills.

Since December, we have hosted 3 workshops as an added value for our Supermoon Community. 

With Victoria Vaughan, founder of ICL, we hosted an in-depth guide on successful PR Strategies for all companies to maximize their Media Outlet connections and reach, key if one wishes to further the outlook and exposure of their business. You can see the full Workshop on our Youtube!

With Daniel Weberman, startup attorney and specialists we led a guide on Tax & legal issues when creating a project in the Web3 or Crypto industry, offering many insights and details that are poorly known but critical. 

Our Founder Elena Obukhova also hosted her own Workshop on how to raise funding from VCs, offering her own extensive knowledge and years of experience in the subject, including how to approach them, language to use, correct way to pitch, best practices for formulating pitch decks and which information to highlight, and much more.
