So good news. We won the public award in the European Fintech awards in the Blockchain category. Number one!
That said we are now also invited to go to the european parliament where the award conference is being held later in September and first of all attend as VIP at the pre-conference a day before the conference (sept 27th) and get a 5 minute demo slot to show what we got and media package.
The day after we will be present at the Fintech awards and are asked to Pitch our platform to a professional Jury and hundreds of people in the audience. All top executives in the FinTech industry.This means that we are among the most promising and innovative European FinTech companies at the moment, congratulations and thank you everybody who voted for us.
So we need Richard to get over there. As you all know the I/O Digital Foundation is a non-for profit Foundation. All expenses are paid by the team. Richards spare time is important. He would gladly take two days off his day job and travel to Brussels to attend, but adding hotel and promotion expenses to it would be too much for him personally.
We hope the community could chip in and support our Fintech exposure in Brussels. We need roughly 0.75 BTC ($3300) for that.
If there is any money left or we get more than asked for we will use it for the Foundation marketing as well. Showcasing I/O Digital is very important for the overall project awareness and we hope the community can help us with this. The Fintech awards is a huge conference and could do us well.

CROWDFUND STATUSUpdate: status: raised 0.65 BTC of 0.75 required
*** with the current BTC rise we needed less BTC then we thought. All expenses for this trip are now paid for. I also go by train instead of plane, so that will be cheaper as well. Thanks for all contributions. We have a strong and supportive community! thanks! Will keep you updated on the progress made at the conference ***
