UNBLOKC 2023: Legal Insights and Pitch Mastery Session

The BLOKC's UNBLOKC Hackathon 2023 participants were treated to a power-packed virtual session on May 18, 2023, featuring two back-to-back sessions designed to equip aspiring blockchain entrepreneurs with essential startup skills.

Understanding the Legal Roadmap for Blockchain-Based Startups

Atty. Jay-R, Partner at DivinaLaw, took center stage to walk UNBLOKC participants through the legal landscape surrounding blockchain-based startups in the Philippines. His session, "Understanding the Legal Roadmap for Blockchain-Based Startups in the Philippines," offered a comprehensive look at the regulatory environment, helping budding entrepreneurs understand the legal intricacies involved in launching and operating a blockchain venture in the country. For any startup founder navigating the fast-evolving Web3 space, understanding compliance and legal frameworks is as critical as the technology itself — and this session delivered exactly that.

Mastering the Elevator Pitch

Following the legal deep-dive, Eli Becislao led an exclusive bonus session titled "Mastering the Elevator Pitch: Crafting an Impactful 5-Minute Pitch Deck." Participants learned how to distill their ideas into compelling, concise pitches capable of capturing the attention of investors and key stakeholders. From structuring the narrative to delivering with confidence, the session provided practical tools to help startup teams make a lasting impression when it matters most.

Building Well-Rounded Blockchain Entrepreneurs

Together, these two sessions underscored The BLOKC's commitment to nurturing not just technically proficient builders, but well-rounded entrepreneurs who are legally informed and investor-ready. The UNBLOKC Hackathon continues to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of Philippine blockchain innovators — combining technical challenges with the business and legal knowledge needed to bring ideas to life.
