Alyze Sam, Global Director of BitAngels, introduces the platform as the longest-running angel network and fintech organization. BitAngels hosts Shark Tank-style pitch competitions where founders present their startups and demos for potential investment. Startups must apply through the BitAngels website, undergo due diligence—including social media review and tokenomics analysis—and have materials like a white paper ready. The network operates globally, with active city leaders and events, particularly in Los Angeles, offering regular opportunities for entrepreneurs to pitch and gain funding.
