As the digital landscape evolves, Web3 and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePin) are emerging as key disruptors in traditional models of ownership, data management, network infrastructure, and investment. These innovations are paving the way for a new era of decentralized systems that not only challenge legacy industries but also open up exciting new investment opportunities. In this panel, we’ll explore the revolutionary potential of DePin projects like Helium, Hivemapper, and GEODMET. Our speakers—venture capital investors and project founders— will dive into what makes these projects unique, project evaluation criteria, and how institutional investors can engage with them.
