Our team had an incredible time meeting the community at ETH Waterloo this past weekend. Our next stops are New York City, Vegas, and London! We also continued to add 100’s of new community members to our Slack channel, get introduced to many amazing connections to partners, and make significant development updates on the protocol.

Come Meet In Person: New York (This Week), San Francisco, Money 20/20, London

Daniel and I are in the Big Apple this week. Ryan from the team is based here full time.

If you would like to meet us in person: Please send both Daniel and I an email providing details of your background and if there is any specific context for the meetings. Our schedules are filling up super fast, so it helps if you can also provide the part of the city you live in so we can work out a spot that works for all of us.

You can reach us at: Jesse@HelloBloom.io and Daniel@HelloBloom.io

We’re doing full days to try to meet as many people as possible, around 10 meetings a day. But spots are tight, so if we aren’t able to connect this time, we’ll definitely be in town again!

For those of you based in San Francisco, that is a few members from our team are based. Our team will also be at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas October 22–25th and I will also be in London November 8th-10th if you would like to connect there.

ETH Waterloo

Our team had an incredible time at ETH Waterloo. We worked with a number of passionate Ethereum developers and watched dozens of inspiring projects get created in just 36 hours!

Liam and the organizers of the event did a phenomenal job bringing the community together and running a seamless operation.

I met at least a dozen people from the Bloom community which is always exciting. There’s many more ways to meet us in person so stay up to date on these weekly updates to see where we’re at.

Beware of Scams:

We received a couple of reports from community members that fraudsters were falsely claiming that the Bloom team is collecting funds. These are scams.
