Startup judges include featured speakers Pierce and Robertson; plus Richard Titus, serial entrepreneur (Razorfish, Schematic) and principal, Octavian Ventures, and Jim Blasko, general partner, bCommerce Labs. The conference is sponsored by AlphaBit Digital Currency Fund (platinum sponsor), a global digital currency fund headquartered in Cayman Islands with offices in London and Dubai; as well as presenting sponsors, BDO Puerto Rico, San Juan; FinTech Blockchain Group, Shanghai, China; and Flash Technologies, Montreal, Canada; and media sponsor, Bitcoin.com, St. Kitts and Nevis.
