Singapore ready for the ICO hype as the CryptoFriends Hypethon comes to BlockShow Asia

CryptoFriends is coming to Singapore with another of its infamous ICO-Hypethons, taking place within Blockshow Asia in partnership with Cointelegraph on November 29-30. This exclusive, 2-day event will welcome the leading blockchain-based projects, experts, investors and mentors and over a thousand attendees from all over the world.

An original event concept in the crypto community, the ICO-Hypethon is a mix of hackethon, accelerator, incubator, speaker conference and networking event. Ten of the planet’s most promising ICO-ready projects will be carefully handpicked to find investors, get mentors’ tips and support and finally launch their blockchain products and services right there at the event.

Before each launch, the teams will host Q&A’s with experts and participants. Standing face-to-face with potential backers, the projects’ founders will answer any questions the audience might have. Each ICO will offer special conditions and bonuses to any investors who choose to pledge their funding.

CryptoFriends is an international group which organizes high-end, unique, blockchain-related events where top notch crypto personalities, investors and blockchain-based projects from all over the world gather to share their ideas and establish long-term partnerships and friendships.

CryptoFriends CEO Daria Arefieva says, "We are so excited to work with Cointelegraph and bring our Hypethon concept to BlockShow Asia 2017. Our last Hypethon in St. Petersburg gained huge interest in the industry and we are looking forward to once again bringing together the best ICO projects and investors in the amazing city of Singapore.”

“ICOs are becoming increasingly popular and the world is watching, so it’s vital that the community works together to ensure that projects with genuine potential can get the help they need. The Hypethon is also an amazing opportunity for investors to get a full understanding of these projects before deciding to commit their support.“

Five ICO projects have already been selected to take part. They include blockchain trading solutions provider United Traders and marketing/AR gaming platform Izetex who, along with VR content startup, ProSense, won their spots at the Hypethon in a pitching contest at CryptoFriends most recent meetup in Barcelona.

More than $200m has been raised by startups at previous Blockshow events. Teams interested in taking part this year in Singapore can register at https://hypethon.cryptofriends.io/ Further information about the Hypethon and visitor tickets are available from the same site.
