Ga^3in Ventures and Fibonacci Capital Host Successful Web3 & AI Pitch Competition at Chicago Tech Week
As part of Chicago Tech Week, Ga^3in Ventures and Fibonacci Capital proudly hosted the Web3 & AI Pitch Competition & VC Networking event during Web3 Investors Day, bringing together top-tier VCs, founders, and builders at the forefront of innovation in Web3 and AI.
The event served as a high-energy platform not only for new voices but also for bold visions already in motion. In addition to the main competition, Ga^3in Ventures’ portfolio companies—including Antix, Web3 Enabler, Zkalyx, Reveel, and Valt — took the stage to demo their latest technologies. From AI-powered digital twins to next-gen financial infrastructure, these demos offered a powerful glimpse into what’s coming next in decentralized systems and intelligent computing.
