Second Annual Unbounded Summit
NYC - September 2023
Unbounded Capital held our annual Unbounded Summit on Thursday, September 21st with over 150 attendees, located at the Dream Hotel hotel in New York City.
The first annual Unbounded Summit in NYC last September 2022 and our Unbounded Perspectives event in Austin, TX last March were both big successes and we are excited to be coming back to NYC this September.
In attendance at these events were many of our limited partners, prominent venture & hedge fund managers, fintech & blockchain entrepreneurs, and institutional & family office investors. The attendees were treated to keynote speeches, entrepreneur talks, panel discussions, mingling and meals, and special fireside chats with prominent regulators and members of government including former Treasurer of the United States, Rosie Rios and former Texas Land Commissioner George P Bush. We were excited to welcome technology and economics writer of ‘The Diff’, Byrne Hobart at our Austin event.
This upcoming event will emphasize more networking opportunities to connect directly with speakers and attendees including the ability to sign up to sit with your favorite speaker.

Testimonials
“This Unbounded Perspectives event contained the most impressive insights I’d heard for a long while.
It felt as if the PayPal mafia was gathering together some 20-30 years ago.”
“Unbounded Perspectives was an incredible experience for me, both as an individual trying to open my mind to newer ideas, and as an entrepreneur building a network. It was great to see all of the work being done by other entrepreneurs and investors to bring scalable blockchain technology to the real-world. Coming in without any prior experience with blockchain, I was amazed at the authenticity and drive a lot of the people in the room had. The Unbounded team did a great job organizing an event that allowed speakers and attendees to converse and share their unique perspectives.”
“Unbounded Perspectives Austin was a great event! The schedule of short panels and presentations enabled entrepreneurs like me to provide a lot of information to potential investors while keeping the audience engaged with extended Q&A more-so than other conferences I have attended.”
“What most stuck out to me about the Unbounded event was the high quality of people in attendance. Each conversation I had was with someone that brought expertise and knowledge from a wide variety of backgrounds. The right questions were being asked and I felt a lot of engagement and attention when presenting HandCash.”

Haste Arcade invented Haste Leaderboard Payouts (HLPs) which reward gamers in real time with micropayments for being on leaderboards within the arcade. HLPs are a new way to incentivize gamers to play casual games while also empowering game developers with a new way to monetize their games.
Take It NFT is a "win-win" auction platform that guarantees a bidder either receives the NFT they bid on, or a profit on their bid. The platform serves as a price discovery tool in the highly speculative NFT market.
JPEG WARS is a MMO battle royale that allows anyone with an NFT to use that NFT as their character within the MMO. The game supports multiple blockchains such as BTC, BSV, ETH, and SOL, and serves as a unifying ground for all crypto "degens".
