https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1337

- This proposal is for a series of 5 investor events organized by Prestel and Partners on behalf of Polkadot.
- It is not a resubmission of the failed Ref 731, which had a larger, unspecified budget for multiple events.
- The Events Bounty rejected the proposal because a similar one failed in the past.
- The events aim to educate about Polkadot's technology, not to promote direct investments.
- The summits will take place in Riyadh, Dubai, Singapore, Istanbul, and London between February and July 2025.
- Prestel and Partners were chosen for their experience in organizing traditional investor conferences.
- The number of summits was reduced from 20 to 5 based on feedback from the previous proposal.
- The goal is to attract traditional institutional capital to Polkadot, moving beyond the crypto echo chamber.
- HIC is leading this initiative as a Polkadot-focused fund, aiming to educate traditional investors without making a profit.
