Description:

CoinShares, DeFi NYC and Avantgarde Finance would like to welcome you to join us for a discussion on the future of asset management within the cozy confines of the CoinShares office on February 4th, 2019 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm.

Blockchain technology is leading to a fundamental shift in capital markets infrastructure. Decentralized finance has significantly reduced the cost of operating an investment fund, opening the door for sub-scale managers to develop a track record.

Join us to learn about how Decentralized Finance tools like the fast-growing Melon ecosystem are democratizing the asset management lifecycle—from capital raising to fund administration—and how you can leverage tools like Melon for your own product, business, or track-record!

Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Please bring any and all questions and ideas!

Agenda:

6:00pm — Doors Open

6:30pm — Intro Discussion (Meltem Demirors & Mona El Isa)

6:45pm — Melon Protocol Overview & Demo

7:15pm — Q&A

7:30pm — Drinks & Discussion

Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
