Between the insightful sessions at #CVSummit 2026, the networking never stopped 🤝 Across two days at the Kongresshaus Zurich, more than 1,400 meetings were scheduled through the CV Summit Networking App, powered by @Scrypt_Swiss. Investors met founders, institutions met the infrastructure providers they’re building with, and plenty of first conversations turned into follow-ups. With matchmaking and one-to-one scheduling built in, attendees could find the right people before they even arrived and make the most of every break between sessions. Thank you to @Scrypt_Swiss for helping keep the conversations flowing, and to every attendee who made the time to connect ⚡️

What does it take to be a founder building in AI and blockchain today? For Francesca Conti, Head of Startup Activation at CV VC, it starts with two qualities 🚀 The first is conviction. “Having conviction as a founder and having a say in what you’re building is paramount, especially when building in AI and blockchain technology.” The second is grit: the ability to execute with limited or even zero resources. It’s a quality Francesca sees again and again in the founders of the Stellar x CV Labs Accelerator, particularly those building on the African continent. Those qualities helped shape this year’s cohort. From more than 1,200 applicants, ten startups building in payments and DeFi across EMEA were selected to join the programme, run together with the Stellar Development Foundation. Over three months, the founders have been building lasting relationships with the @StellarOrg , CV VC, and our global network, with support across go-to-market, fundraising, stablecoin advisory, and tokenomics to help them scale. Now it’s time to see what they’ve built. Meet the startups at Stellar Meridian 2026 in Lisbon on 28-29 October, where they’ll take the stage for Demo Day: @StellarOrg @BuildOnStellar
