Jur, the upcoming Polkadot parachain building the DAO 2.0 stack, invites founders to pitch their ‘Startup Society’ ideas to notable figures from Web 3.0, including Tim Draper of Draper Associates, Ed Hesse of Energy Web and Trent McConaghy of Ocean Protocol for a chance to win a share of the $10,000 grand prize, along with the opportunity to launch their startup society through a dedicated grant program.

Ed Hess, one of the judges and founder of Energy Web, said,
