Glider at the ETHConf Startup Showdown

Glider pitched at the Crypto Startup Showdown, the competition ETHGlobal ran at ETHConf, alongside fourteen teams building across DeFi automation, agents, real-world assets, stablecoins, and prediction markets. We were proud to be in the room.

The pitch focused on the product. Glider is an app for building an investment portfolio and putting it on autopilot. An investor chooses which assets to hold and the target mix, and Glider handles the buying, selling, and rebalancing to keep the portfolio on track, on a schedule the investor sets. The money stays in an account that only the investor controls.

A single portfolio can hold a range of assets in one place, including gold, government bonds, and tokenized stocks available to investors outside the US. Recurring investments can be set up so money is added automatically over time. The technology underneath runs on blockchain, though using Glider is meant to feel like any modern investing app.

We did not take home the top prize, and that is completely fine. Pitching alongside teams building genuinely impressive things was its own reward, and we left with plenty of ideas.

Mostly, we left excited about what is next. We have been working on new features that make building and automating a portfolio even simpler, with more on the way soon.

Thanks to ETHGlobal and everyone at ETHConf for having us, and to every team that pitched.
