• 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.
