Hi all,
This proposal is meant to introduce Dash to startup community on monthly Startup Events in Serbia.
Since Dash is gaining huge traction around the world and as a big fan of Dash and experienced Event Manager and well connected with IT community here, I thought that bringing Dash to Serbia would be a great idea. A lot of young and talented people and events are more focusing on blockchain technology and this is a great time for Dash to get traction here (did you know that Game Credits dev team and head are based here?).
Who am I?
My name is Nebojsa and I am Event Manager with over 3 years of experience, mostly organizing events oriented to start-ups. Currently, I am Chapter Director at Startup Grind Belgrade and I am organizing monthly fireside chat with startup founders and VC funds to bring close the experience of life as an entrepreneur to people who wish to start their own startup or startups who seek investments.
My previous experience includes:
What is Startup Grind?
Startup Grind (www.startupgrind.com) is the largest independent startup community, actively educating, inspiring, and connecting 1,000,000 entrepreneurs in over 250 cities. We nurture startup ecosystems in 105 countries through events, media, and partnerships with organizations like Google for Entrepreneurs. The cornerstone of our global community is monthly events featuring successful local founders, innovators, educators, and investors who share lessons learned on the road to building great companies. Founded in Silicon Valley, Startup Grind has now hosted 5,000 fireside chats since its founding in 2010. To date, Startup Grind has helped millions of entrepreneurs find mentorship, connect to partners and hires, pursue funding, and reach new users.
I reached out to Startup Grind back in 2015 in order to start my own chapter (www.startupgrind.com/belgrade) to inspire young people to start their own startup and to help increase number of startups in my city and so far I connected over 100 people, 4 startups and helped over 50 developers, grad students to find appropriate jobs for their skills. 3 startups are founded with the help of connections they made on my events. Number of attendees per event range between 30-100.
My previous speakers are from Devana Technology (now bought by GoDaddy), Embassy of Israel (they are close partners of Startup Grind Belgrade, Speed Invest (largest VC fund in Austria), and this month my guest is Michelle E. Messina (author of “Decoding Silicon Valley: The Insider’s Guide.”)
Plus I want to start Dash community through my events and via Dash dedicated social media platforms. Which means creating Dash facebook page and support group and twitter account.
This sponsorship will cover:
Requested funding for October is 21.465 Dash
If there is some funding left or Dash price increase, it will go to funding Event for following month.
If the price of Dash decrease, I will add the needed amount from my own budget.
Let me know your opinion in the comments below and I will reply ASAP.

a lot of people mix Serbia with Siberia due to similarity in name.
