Crowdz Selected for Barclays Techstars London Accelerator
Summary
“The ability to interact with and learn from scores of truly distinguished mentors from a vast array of finance and technology disciplines will do more than anything to help Crowdz prepare for the public launch of our blockchain-based business-commerce application later this spring.Jeremy Wilson, Vice Chairman of Corporate Banking for Barclays, has sounded a similar theme, predicting that blockchain “will change not just finance, but the lives of almost everyone… [I]t looks as if it has the makings of a new operating system for the planet.”Blockchain has already been deployed in a wide number of uses in many industries, primarily for payments record-keeping, trade finance, data security, validation of the authenticity & provenance of goods, and logistics tracking.As a result of these delays and other related factors, companies worldwide experience an annual cash drain of some US$4 trillion due to added costs and lost sales opportunities.”“Taken together, technologies like these can accelerate business supply chains of all types to digital lightspeed,” Kevin Hopkins, Crowdz’s Chief Strategy Officer and a former U.S. White House economist emphasized.
