Glider in the Token2049 Nexus Startup Competition
by Brian Huang, Co-founder of Glider
A few weeks ago, Glider was selected as one of the Top 10 startups out of thousands to pitch at the Token2049 Nexus Startup Competition.
We made it into the final 5.
We didn’t win. But that was never the point.
The real value was standing on stage in Singapore, speaking to a room filled with builders, investors, and founders who all believe in one thing: that onchain finance can, and should feel simpler.

For us, it was a moment of perspective.
To look up from the screens, step out of the product sprints, and remember why we’re building Glider in the first place: to make onchain investing effortless, human, and inevitable.
We left the stage more certain than ever that what we’re building matters.
Glider isn’t chasing trends. We’re building infrastructure that will outlast them.
To everyone who came by, listened, and believed, thank you.
If you missed the event, you can watch our full pitch and presentation below.
It’s a glimpse into how we see the future of onchain investing, and where Glider is heading next.
