Our 3rd Annual Web3 Investor Day 2024

Transformation to a Fresh Tomorrow

We’re excited to co-present our 3rd Annual Web3 Investor Day.  Hosted at Sterling Bay's first Life Sciences building in Lincoln Yards development in Chicago on August 1, 2024, Bridge Alternatives, Decasonic and Sterling Bay are bringing together the global leaders to foster the connections of capital and ideas and innovate in Web3.  This conference of the top global capital allocators, family offices, endowments, venture capital firms, trading groups, and other industry leaders draws on the myriad of perspectives around the transformative potential of Web3.  We hope through these in-person connections, we can rally the sustained adoption of Web3 technologies. 

Our conference theme this year, "Transformation to a Fresh Tomorrow," reflects our enduring commitment to Web3 across all market cycles.  In a turbulent and unpredictable year since our last conference, Web3 has emerged stronger and healthier. Broader investor optimism suggests that fresh institutional funds into Web3 across both tokens and equity may endure.  Across adoption metrics, customer interest and developer activity, Web3 seems to have normalized off the 2023 lows post-FTX and Binance to grow above pre-pandemic levels. It’s refreshing to see the transformation and next evolution of Web3 and it’s refreshing to meet many of you on August 1.
