Sanctor Capital hosting Demo Day for Beta Class on December 14
On December 14 between 1:00pm — 5:00pm EST, eight new teams from Sanctor Turbo’s Beta Class will take the stage. The eight week program is coming to a close for another cohort, and teams are ready to showcase what they have been working on.
The founders have spent the past two months working with their mentors on solidifying their product, tokenomics and go-to-market strategy. They are now prepared to make their mark on the industry.
Three months ago, the Sanctor Turbo Alpha Class graduated in style, with three demos and three thought-provoking panels. Graduates ThorSwap and Synchrony Finance went on to complete their funding rounds and are now well on their way to growing their ecosystems and communities.
We invite you to RSVP to the virtual event here:
The Beta Class started its journey in the beginning of November, with eight teams working with NFTs, infrastructure technology, interoperability and privacy:

Raini is a gaming and collectibles platform that features curated art drops and an exciting play-to-earn game called The Lords of Light.
Blast offers tournaments-as-a-service infrastructure that strengthens the PvP experience for gamers.
Sandstorm is a metaverse hub for conducting events and facilitating item sales in the virtual world.
Brink is an RPC protocol that enables automation of on-chain operations, with a focus on trading.
BlockVision is a cloud computing portal that allows users / dApps to interact with public chains using a decentralized, permissionless and lively indexing network.
