Brexit might have happened, England might be out of the Euros and Willis might be out of Wimbledon but one thing you can be sure of – the Coinsilium newsletter remains. 

This month, from Women Investing In Blockchain to interviews with our investees to the Department of Homeland Security we’ve got it covered. 

We love to hear from Coinsilium fans, so if you have anything to say please tweet us, email us or even link-in with us. 
Investee Showcase
As part of our Blockchain Week we hosted an investee showcase, to celebrate some of the fantastic companies we have in our portfolio. It was great to see so many current (and future!) investors join us. The evening involved pitch sessions from RSK Labs, Factom, SatoshiPay and Rivetz and we took some time to interview them as well:
RSK Labs' Adrian Eidelman speaks to Jan Skoyles
"We are bringing smart-contracts to the blockchain network, so that anyone can write smart-contracts programs in a decentralised way."
"We are building a nanopayments platform...the first application of this is web content and it works straight out of the box"
Factom's Peter Kirby speaks to Jan Skoyles
"Factom is a data layer for blockchain. It lets you handle big, messy record-keeping problems using blockchain technology."
Rivetz's Steven Sprague speaks to Jan Skoyles
"We provide cybersecurity tools in modern smartphones to enable IoT, blockchain transactions and a number of secure transactions."
In the panel discussion Coinsilium marketing manager Jan Skoyles and Coinsilium investors ask our portfolio companies what makes them stand out and what their applications are doing to solve real-life problems. Watch the full panel discussion here ☛
