Tokenize

What Tokenize does

Tokenize is a privately held event services company founded in 2014 (operating as Tokenize!, Tokenize Global, and Tokenize AI & Entertainment) that produces a global boutique conference series connecting professional investors, traders, family offices, and digital currency funds with founders and startups in the blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, real world assets, and AI sectors. The flagship is Tokenize Global, a multi-week Las Vegas conference built around six thematic sections: Tokenize AI, Entertainment, Finance (DeFi and security tokens), Memecoins, Politics, and Real World Assets; companion editions have run in San Juan, Santa Monica, Austin, Dubai, and a new Tokenize LATAM franchise. The BitAngels startup pitch competition, co-hosted since inception, runs alongside each event with preseed, seed, and A-round pitches plus a 'Best of Show' track for mature projects.

The product set is purely physical-and-content: tiered event tickets (General Admission at $1,395 for a three-day pass, VIP at $2,995 including investor dinner and speaker access), exhibitor booths, and corporate sponsorship packages at Platinum, Gold, and Silver tiers; limited media credentials are also sold in exchange for coverage commitments. Attendee capacity is intentionally capped at roughly 250 per event to preserve a curated, high-density networking environment. Technology integrations are operational rather than productized: Sessionize handles speaker applications and scheduling, and Luma handles ticketing and registration; there is no proprietary platform, API, or software offering under the Tokenize brand.

Revenue is generated one-time per event cycle through ticket sales, sponsorships, and media partnership fees, with founder Michael Terpin serving as Conference Director. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and a small 11-50 person headcount based in Henderson, Nevada. Geographic reach spans North America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East, with cumulative reported scale of 25 conferences, 1,500+ speakers, and 7,500+ attendees since 2014.

Direct peers

• Paris Blockchain Week: European flagship crypto/blockchain conference combining institutional, developer, and startup tracks. Targets overlapping attendee personas—family offices, funds, entrepreneurs—and competes for global sponsor budgets.
• Bitcoin Conference: Large-scale Bitcoin-focused conference series held in multiple cities. Competes with Tokenize for Bitcoin-focused speakers and sponsors and draws a similar investor/entrepreneur audience, though with a narrower topical focus on Bitcoin.
• Token2049: Premier crypto conference held in Singapore and Dubai, focused on the crypto ecosystem and institutional investors. Comparable target audience (funds, founders, family offices) and similar premium positioning, with overlapping geographic reach via the Dubai edition.
• Consensus (CoinDesk): One of the largest crypto industry conferences, operated by CoinDesk. Targets investors, developers, and enterprises in blockchain/crypto, competing directly with Tokenize for speaker talent, sponsors, and institutional attendees—though at much larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• World Blockchain Summit: Long-running global conference series held across multiple cities, focused on enterprise blockchain adoption. Targets similar enterprise and investor audiences and competes for sponsors seeking international exposure.

Emerging players

• ETHGlobal: Hackathon and conference organizer focused on the Ethereum developer ecosystem. Adjacent audience to Tokenize (founders, developers, investors) and overlapping sponsor base, though more developer- and ecosystem-oriented versus investor-focused.
• Web3 Summit: Berlin-based Web3 conference gathering developers, researchers, and investors. Similar community-driven ethos to Tokenize and overlapping speaker pool, though more technically oriented.
• DCentral: Decentralized finance and Web3 conference series. Comparable in targeting crypto investors and project teams, with similar boutique-style positioning though a narrower DeFi focus.

Others

• Transform Group: Crypto and blockchain PR and marketing agency that is already a Tokenize partner (Monika Proffitt). Adjacent service provider in the same ecosystem—supports Tokenize events and represents an enabling relationship rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• Korea Blockchain Week: Major Asian crypto conference week hosted annually in Seoul. Comparable investor and founder audience with regional focus; complements Tokenize's geographic expansion rather than directly competing in North America.
