The Brazilian startup is the only one in the country to be invited to the event that has recognized global unicorns in the technology sector.

BlockBR, a company seeking leadership in financial innovation and asset tokenization infrastructure in Brazil, has just received an exclusive invitation to participate in Stanford University’s Alumni Pitch Session. The event, which takes place on February 19, is an initiative of the Stanford alumni network aimed at connecting promising startups with more than 300 VCs.

The company was the only Brazilian company invited to the event, increasing its visibility and opening doors for growth. At a time when tokenization is consolidating itself as a growing trend, participation in the event reinforces its position in the market. The pitch session is promoted by Alumni, a group made up of Stanford alumni who have become investors and leaders in some of the world’s largest technology companies. The event is recognized for connecting high-potential startups with influential investors from Silicon Valley and the global venture capital ecosystem.

“The invitation to BlockBR reinforces its position as one of the most innovative startups in the finance and technology sector, highlighting its vision of applying tokenization to business, not just Blockchain technology,” says Cassio J. Krupinsk, CEO of BlockBR.

Krupinsk points out that the company will have the opportunity to present its regulated tokenization solution, promoting a safe and structured disruption in the capital market, as well as sharing its vision for the future of the sector. The pitch will address the sector’s main challenges and how BlockBR is driving the market’s evolution by democratizing access to the role of financial agent. The company provides an as-a-service structure that allows anyone to act as a structurer, issuer and distributor of assets, through an infrastructure based on blockchain technology, legal security and regulated tokenization.

“Being on Stanford University’s radar and taking part in this event means a lot to BlockBR. It shows that we are on the right track, gaining global recognition and arousing the interest of the international market. More than just a fundraising opportunity, this event puts us directly in touch with some of the world’s most influential advisors and investors,” says Krupinsk.

Place of innovation

The relevance of the Alumni Pitch Session is due not only to Stanford’s academic reputation, but also to the fact that the university is in the heart of Silicon Valley, the world’s largest technology and innovation hub. Many of the startups that have had outstanding experiences in Stanford’s programs and events have managed to attract significant investments and have become global players in their segments.

Startups that are now tech giants took part in similar events within the Stanford ecosystem. Companies like DoorDash, Robinhood and Palantir took their first steps at events promoted by the university’s alumni community, gaining visibility and access to strategic investors that boosted their growth.

Participation in the Alumni Pitch Session represents a stamp of validation for selected startups, demonstrating that they have a solid and innovative business model, as is the case with BlockBr. As well as the opportunity to attract investment, entrepreneurs have access to mentoring, high-level networking and possible strategic partnerships with large companies.
