We will soon add selective services, resources, and quality programs from various partners and contributors who can help skyrocket projects by offering best-in-class support, asynchronous content, use cases, marketing, and tools made specifically for early-stage founders. Backers will also be able to easily discover and connect with projects that align with their initiatives and goals. In addition to the platform features we are rolling out, we plan to host more networking events where founders can present their projects and meet backers, attend panel discussions, compete in hack events, receive 1:1 mentorship, learn how to navigate the Web3 business landscape, and more. So stay tuned for news on where Horizon will be making a splash next month including at Collision in Toronto and Banyan’s hack event in NYC. Interested in getting started?
