Join us on Wednesday, Feb 18 for the ETHDenver 2026 ETHVC Summit, the premier VC and founder gathering of the week.
ETHDenver 2026 marks a new era.
New Venue. New Format. Higher Standards. We are cutting the noise to focus on what matters: Builders, Founders, and Capital. The ETHVC Summit + Pitchfest is the centerpiece of this new direction—designed specifically to get real products in front of real investors.
The event is hosted by Bufficorn Ventures (the investment arm of ETHDenver) and AKINDO. This full-day summit brings together the most active capital allocators, the brightest founders, and the strongest ecosystem partners in Web3.
What to Expect
The day is divided into three power blocks:
🧠 The VC Summit (Morning): We kick off with high-impact panels, debates, and fireside chats featuring top VCs. Expect candid discussions on the “State of VC 2026,” and tactical advice on navigating the raise process from pre-seed to Series A.
🎤 The Pitchfest (Mid-Day): From hundreds of applications, fewer than 15 top startups will be selected to pitch live. These founders are competing for a prize pool (to be announced) and funding consideration from Bufficorn Ventures.
🌐 Ecosystem Showcases (Afternoon): We close the day with spotlights on the applications and protocols powering that will define the 2026 landscape.
