Blockchain4Her Program and Pitch & Slay Competition for Women Entrepreneurs
Bitget, in collaboration with the organizers of the 0xConnect Girls event, is set to host a pitch competition called Pitch & Slay for women entrepreneurs in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere, as announced in a press release. The event is part of the global Blockchain4Her program, an initiative aiming to foster gender equality within these industries.
In order to participate, applicants must fill out a Google form and meet the following criteria:

Applications for the Pitch & Slay competition will close on April 15, 2025.
