Middle East Family offices are notoriously secretive. This makes complete sense — why would a high net worth family need to advertise the fact that they have money to invest?
Even with minimal publicity they would undoubtedly end up flooded with requests, so secrecy is in fact required, just to minimise the size of their inboxes.
Take your time to do some digging, find a family office that has a track record of investing in your area of research, and get a mutual contact to give you a personal introduction; this will increase your chances of being considered favourably, as the family office will see that you are serious by how much time and effort you put into finding them!
Here are some tips for how to both seek out family offices and make move successfully.
How to find family officesSo bearing this lack of publicity in mind, what is the best way to seek out these secretive Middle East Families?
“Look what deals have been done and what families have been investing in that space more than others.
”This means you avoid pestering those who simply won’t be interested.
I urge startups not to cold call family offices using the often out of date phone numbers and email addresses found in databases, adding that in order to get a proper introduction, family offices expect you to be ‘part of the club’.
Finding a credible firm, such as The Private Investment Group — although caution must be exercised, as some capital raisers may ‘over-promise and under-deliver’.
Conferences
Small Family office conferences are great places to meet new family offices, and are particularly useful for finding out what areas they specialise in. Even if none of the delegates are suitable for you to apply to, it is still worth asking them if they know any who might be a better fit.
Academia and non-profits
Academia is often a great place to seek advice on how to apply for family office funding. Not only will many professors and researchers have been in similar positions themselves, but their address books are usually jam packed.
Another advantage to using academia as your gateway is that family offices like this route — they know who to trust.Finally, non-profits can be a gateway to discovering family offices.
Whilst non-profits themselves obviously have completely different, more charitable aims, a quick read of their history often provides useful names of HNWs.
The non-profits themselves might not get involved in direct investment, but their founders and associates may have projects on the side.
Making a move
So you’ve found a few family offices that look promising, either through general research or asking the right people — now how do you make the best possible first impression?
Ideally get a personal introduction, perhaps by a professor, an investment professional, or even another family office who you met at an event. But failing this, with no option left other than to send an email, you need to give it your best shot.
How?
Introducing yourself
Firstly, be polite! If you at all feel tempted to try something different and attention-grabbing, consider what may seem exciting and original to you is probably terribly clichéd and overused from their perspective. Whilst being polite and formal may be far more overdone, it does have the advantage of being much more socially acceptable and easy to follow…
Getting straight to the point
Be concise. After quickly and politely introducing yourself, get straight to the point and explain what your technology is, why it fills a gap in the sector and what any financial support would be used for. Don’t feel the need to introduce the topic via lots of background — if they work in the sector, chances are they know the subject back to front! Avoid writing ‘as you know…’ followed by lots of medical terms — it will get overlooked.
Keep reminders polite
If you don’t get a response straight away, bear in mind that some family offices may have no-response policies for unsuccessful applications, although plenty of them don’t. Hence the best advice is to wait a few days and, in the case of no response, send a polite reminder email. If there is still no response then assume they have seen it and decided no, and take solace in the fact that most family offices will be happy to give advice concerning why your application was unsuccessful.
Do your research!
It is important to point out at this stage that you must make sure they are an appropriate company to send your application to — they may not even bother to send back an email saying ‘the reason why your application was rejected was because we only deal with growth stage, although brilliant, we’re sure, simply isn’t right for us’.
Making your pitch
Another area to think about is your pitch — if you get one, that’s great! But don’t put in all that effort to get one just to mess it up when you get there due to basic errors.
Present your ideaAs unfair as this may seem, it is the quality of presentation and knowledge/research exhibited by the entrepreneur that sticks in the family office members’ heads, not necessarily the technology itself.
“The technologies can fade a little bit, but you remember the person,”Ask for advice
Whilst you may have quite a clear vision of where you see the funds going, remember that these people are the financial experts, so don’t be rigid — be candid, ask for their opinions and advice, and they will respect your humility and willingness to ask questions.
Prepare for a possible grilling!
Please do not ‘jedi mind trick’ the family office into thinking that a product is good. Be honest.
Keep your slides succinct
As for your presentation itself, ideally you should have one version for presenting with and a separate version for the investor to skim upon receipt.
This skimming version should be short and concise, telling the ‘story’ of you technology primarily via the slide titles and the concluding paragraph. Also it should contain fewer than 20 slides, or it will not get looked at in depth: cut out the fat and skimp on the background — many will already know all this!-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Any start up struggling to get seed money or funding know the Family Offices are a very good option. However, most don't know how to access to them or else how to handle the introductions. Thanks to the author of this article for some very good points!

The yearslong upgrade – intended to radically transform the world’s largest smart-contract platform – is inching closer to deployment.
The Ethereum Foundation recently announced “Medalla,” a final testnet before the mainnet launch of the Eth 2.0 beacon chain.
As of July 10, some developers, including Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, estimate the oft-delayed Eth 2.0 will launch by the end of this year.To mark the fifth anniversary of the network’s launch, CoinDesk is producing Ethereum at Five – a cross-platform series featuring special coverage, a limited-run newsletter and live-streamed discussions on Twitter. New issues and sessions launch daily from July 27-31. The pop-up experience precedes another event in September focused on Eth 2.0.
When phase zero of Eth 2.0 does ship, little about Ethereum will change in the near term for users and dapp developers. This is because unlike all other system-wide upgrades in Ethereum history, the Eth 2.0 overhaul will primarily be happening on a different blockchain.
ETH price, protocol upgrades and Ethereum phases of development over timeSource: Coin Metrics and CoinDesk Research
The first phase of development for Eth 2.0 is centered around the creation of a separate proof-of-stake blockchain network called the beacon chain.
On this new network, ETH holders with a minimum of 32 ETH can earn rewards in the form of annualized interest on their wealth. To earn these rewards, ETH holders must have the appropriate hardware and software connecting to the beacon chain and a strong understanding of how the technology works.
In a new 22-page report from CoinDesk Research, the technology behind Eth 2.0 is explained as well as the phases of development it will undergo in the years after its launch.Read CoinDesk Research’s full report on Eth 2.0
Ethereum as we know it today will eventually be folded into the Eth 2.0 upgrade in its entirety. The report features commentary from Ethereum developers about what benefits – but also risks – this may bring.
The report also discusses the potential market impact of Eth 2.0, including the ramifications of the new system’s economic design on coin supply, velocity and value.
ETH total supply growth at Phase 0 launchSource: ActivateWhy it matters
The culmination of over five years of research and development, Ethereum 2.0 is a highly ambitious upgrade.
Never before has the cryptocurrency industry seen a blockchain of the same size and value as Ethereum attempt to transition all users, as well as assets, to an entirely new decentralized network while keeping all operations on the old network active and running.
Read more: Ethereum Turns Five Next Week: How CoinDesk Is Marking the Milestone
It will likely take many years for the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade – in all its complexity – to be complete.
However, developer commentary featured in this report suggests the biggest hurdle (and perhaps most important milestone) in the Ethereum 2.0 roadmap is its initial launch.-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst In the evolving crypto sphere Ethereum is extremely important. No other blockchain is being able to do what it does, although there are some which are closing. The launching of 2.0 will be a definite change in its roadmap, due to the complexity and nature itself of the change. Consequences: we will be learning them with time in all its scope.

The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning will offer a course focused on blockchain technology starting next month.
India's National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) has teamed up with IBM to provide a 12-week online course that will cover blockchain architecture and design as well as various use cases.
The course will be available via the NPTEL website starting July 2018, and aims to equip students with the conceptual and practical skills needed in the growing blockchain industry.
Professor Sandip Chakraborty from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and Dr. Praveen Jayachandran of IBM Research, India, co-developed the course.
It includes topics such as crypto primitives, consensus, permissioned blockchain, use cases, and research efforts. Jayachandran elaborated on the demand for blockchain education:"The popularity of blockchain has moved from cryptocurrency to business applications across many industries such as insurance, finance, supply chain logistics, digital identity, healthcare and public sector. IBM's collaboration with India's leading academic minds to create a blockchain curriculum is a reflection of our commitment to enabling the technology to realize its full potential, while also addressing the increased demand for adequate skills for students and developers."
Intended to produce course content for the engineering and science fields, NPTEL is a joint initiative of seven Indian Institute of Technology branches, the Indian Institute of Science, and the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development.
The program disseminates instructional material through web supplements and video courses. Since many Indian students cannot attend a science or technology institute, NPTEL provides an alternative method for individuals to receive a quality education.India is one of many countries to recently promote blockchain education.
The University of California, Berkeley, plans to provide an online blockchain certificate program through the platform edX starting next month. In September 2017, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov includedcryptocurrency education in a statement about an effort to increase financial literacy in the country.
Educational institutions have also invested in blockchain technology for other uses, such as the issuance of academic credentials.DANIEL PUTNEY
Daniel Putney is a full-time writer for ETHNews. He received his bachelor's degree in English writing from the University of Nevada, Reno, where he also studied journalism and queer theory. In his free time, he writes poetry, plays the piano, and fangirls over fictional characters. He lives with his partner, three dogs, and two cats in the middle of nowhere, Nevada.
ETHNews is committed to its Editorial Policy-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst IBM is surprising everybody by creating Blockchain and crypto tools and collaborating with governments and Universities (like here in India) to offer Blockchain courses which are made available for students and developers which sometimes can't enter into the Universities system there. Whatever their reasons are to do this, the result will be very positive after not a long time.

- A Brazilian University has launched the world's first Master's Degree in cryptofinance.
- The course's students are et to analyze cryptocurrency markets from an objective, academic perspective, as opposed to a speculative one.
Yesterday, various news outlets reported that it is now possible to get a master's degree in cryptofinance. The gist of these reports was that Brazilian University Fundacao Getulio Vargas (FGV), also known as the Sao Paulo School of Economics, claimed that it is offering the world's first master's degree in cryptofinance.
Although universities have been offering courses in blockchain and cryptocurrencies as early as 2014 -- when NYU Stern School of Business became the first major university to launch such a course -- a master's degree solely focused on cryptofinance is unique.
A look at the relevant section of the university's website, shows that FGV has a Master's Program in Economics (MPE) that offers specializations in one of four subjects: Portfolio Management, Risk Management, Data Science, and Cryptofinance.
In the second semester of this four-semester program, those specializing in Cryptofinance must take the following courses: "Cryptofinance"; "Cryptoeconomics"; and "Laboratory of Cryptofinance and Economics".
Ricardo Rochman, the program’s coordinator, claimed it was born out of a need for specialized education in the cryptocurrency industry. Per his words, it is a “market with a profound lack of people with expertise.” Students are set to study the markets from a more objective, academic perspective, as opposed to a speculative one.
Michele Araujo, a 26-year-old economics student at FGV noted that learning about cryptocurrencies can be beneficial:"There is a conceptual gain of knowing both the practical applications of the technology and cryptocurrency as an alternative investment.”Michele Araujo
Universities in Brazil, the country with the largest crypto market in South America, are seemingly responding to the huge amount of interest in cryptofinance, while refusing to be discouraged by what Ilan Goldfajn, the governor of Brazil's central bank, said about Bitcoin last October:“The bitcoin is a financial asset with no ballast that people buy because they believe it will appreciate. That is a typical bubble or pyramid [scheme]…The central bank is not interested in bubbles or illicit payments.”Ilan Goldfajn, governor of Brazil's central bank

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Universities and formation centres are introducing Blockchain and crypto economy in their programmes. Whoever wants to prepare for the next future must understand and work with these new ideas and technologies, or be excluded from the new crypto economy revolution.

Course: Saïd Business School to educate on Blockchain Strategy - Enterprise... (enterprisetimes.co.uk)Saïd Business School is launching a Blockchain Strategy Programme to help businesses get to grips with new computing reality. With bank, and other, jobs facing elimination due to disruptive technologies, enterprises across the board must prepare for what may be a blockchain revolution.
“‘The application of the core technology behind bitcoin – blockchain – extends much further than the widely recognised cryptocurrencies,” said Nir Vulkan, Associate Professor of Business Economics and Co-convenor of the Oxford Blockchain Strategy Programme at Oxford Saïd.
“Blockchain has the potential not only to change how we transfer value, but could shift our systems of trade, identity, efficiency and governance across all sectors, radically transforming traditional approaches to management. What participants will understand from our course is what is on the horizon for their business and how to prepare for that.”
Nir Vulkan, Professor, SBSWhy having a blockchain strategy matters
As blockchain technology promises to change radically the nature of business, it will alter the job landscape and become disrupting across industries. Saïd Business School, at the University of Oxford will offer, from February 2018, a short course (six modules over six weeks) to prepare executives to think about their enterprises’ blockchain strategies.
The context is that of a McKinsey report which predicts that blockchain will ‘generate $80-$110 billion in impact’ by 2021. The Oxford Blockchain Strategy Programme will offer a fundamental understanding of:- where to use blockchain technology
- how blockchains work
- the structural and market implications.
Blockchain is at a tipping point – where clarity is emerging about its potential use across multiple industries including manufacturing, healthcare, energy and financial services. Behind this is a fear of job losses and massive industry disruption, as well as opportunities for new business models and emergent technologies to be created.The Saïd Business School Programme
Designed for senior executives and managers – as well as professionals with a keen interest in blockchain – the Programme seeks to understand how blockchain will affect and shape business. It will provide executives with:- an actionable strategy (to respond to blockchain)
- guidance as to how to incorporate it into their enterprises’ long-term planning.
Teppo Felin, Professor of Strategy at Oxford Saïd, will provide a framework for companies to capitalise on the blockchain opportunity. The programme will also feature insights from guest speakers such as Meltem Demirors, Director at the Digital Currency Group, and Professor Sandy Pentland, one of the world’s leading data scientists, as well as a number of practicing entrepreneurs, technologists and financiers of the blockchain sector.
In addition to insights and advice, participants will equip themselves with two strategy frameworks developed specifically for the programme:- the Oxford Blockchain Strategy framework
- the Oxford Blockchain Regulation framework.
On successful completion participants receive a certificate of attendance from Saïd Business School. Possibly access to the Oxford Saïd Executive Education alumni network is as valuable.What does it mean
Serious blockchain usage arrived with Bitcoin. Since then its possibilities have expanded in all directions, led by finance but by no mean exclusively. With time the possibilities multiply (see FortKnoxter and Substratum for tangential examples).
Given this, the arrival of a concise Blockchain Strategy course from a leading business school has significance. Furthermore, by focusing on the impact and disruption possibilities on existing business models as well as new opportunities, it should offer multiple value points.
Perhaps the biggest challenge is whether Saïd Business School can contain attendees’ fascination with the technological underpinnings.Saïd Business School to educate on Blockchain Strategy was last modified: November 16th, 2017 by Charles BrettCharles Brett

Highly Recommended: Demand for cryptocurrency degree courses surges - Study Inte... (studyinternational.com)
The future is here: demand for cryptocurrency degree courses surges
The days of cryptocurrency being a futuristic concept used for deep-web transactions are buried in history. Today everyone from banks and governments to tech-savvy university students are investing both their faith and their money in cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are exponentially growing in popularity and demand. Their decentralized, digital nature is making transactions more secure, payment fraud impossible, and the removal of the ‘middle man’.
As the use of cryptocurrency increases, the need for ‘miners’ – as they’re known – also becomes more crucial.Miners’ role in the cryptocurrency network is to add ‘blocks’ to the ‘blockchain’ which ensures the confirmation of transactions and prevents cryptocurrency from disappearing into the Internet stratosphere.
When a new block is made, the miner who created it is rewarded with valuable cryptocurrency. Although cryptocurrencies are a relatively new concept to the majority of tech mortals, the crypto-geeks know that making it as a ‘miner’ is the real way to make money in the crypto-world.
And, as a result, the demand for university courses teaching the computer science of cryptocurrency and blockchain coding has surged. Universities have already seen the startup of cryptocurrency societies, with the Blockchain Education Network (BEN) acting as a central hub for ideas among student societies.
https://twitter.com/seemohan/status/911718796821397504
and just like with cryptocurrency, as demand fluctuates, the market responds. The crypto-trend has seen the emergence of university courses such as ‘Digital Currency, Blockchains and the Future of Financial Services’ at NYU Law.
Edinburgh University is also set to launch the first course of this kind in Europe. Aggelos Kiayias, chair in cyber security and privacy, and director of the blockchain technology laboratory at the university, told the Financial Times: “Blockchain technology is a recent development and there is always a bit of a lag as academia catches up.
”According to data received by the Financial Times from LinkedIn, there were more than 1,000 blockchain-related jobs advertised in June – three times the amount advertised last year.
“Students currently have the chance to be involved in the early stages of a technological revolution,” George Benton, co-founder and co-president of Leeds University Union Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Society, told Study International.
“The decentralized nature of blockchain technology resonates with my generation because of the power it gives to individuals. ”Tamar Menteshashvili, Blockchain technology and Financial Innovations Researcher, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said: “Blockchain is a technology that has potential to disrupt many industries.
Yet, currently it poses a number of interesting intellectual puzzles that need to be solved in order to achieve the realization of its full potential. “That is where students can contribute, while at the same time greatly broadening their career horizons. It is a next-generation technology that will continue to offer a vast variety of possibilities.
While choosing Blockchain as a research point, each student is joining a cohort of future-engineers. ”With industry experts predicting cryptocurrency to become the finance of the future, it is only a matter of time before more universities begin offering specifically-directed courses to help produce the digital miners of the future.

While blockchain-based applications such as Bitcoin are still in their infancy, a dramatic increase in industrial and academic interest in blockchain technology is evident.
In addition, start-ups, as well as industry initiatives, are presently working intensely on blockchain-based innovations, making the technology one of the most promising drivers of innovation in many sectors and industries.
However, the design and implementation of blockchain-based systems requires know-how in various areas, as well as mindful consideration of larger economic and societal issues.
These objectives provide the starting point for this summer school.In this first ever blockchain summer school to be held worldwide, this course/summer school will focus on educating students in blockchain technology to develop solutions within three focal industries.
The participants will learn how blockchain technology is disrupting existing business models and will gain insights in paradigmatic changes occurring from economic, organisational, and computer science viewpoints.
As a result, the participants will be able to develop their own, new value creating information systems, which are designed as decentralized autonomous systems.
As learning outcomes, the participants will receive computer science, information systems, and business knowledge background in order to analyse existing business processes and their potential to convert them into blockchain-based solutions. In doing so, they will be able to co-create new blockchain-based cryptographic economic systems.
Within the summer school, participants will learn how to set up a development environment and how to work with the emergent crowd-funded decentralized blockchain application platform of Ethereum. They will be able to design and implement their own smart contracts and will code their own dapps (decentralized apps).
Once basic blockchain elements have been introduced, participants will work on their own blockchain development projects, supported by the participating industry partners.
The outcomes will be functioning demonstrators as well as a written documentation and reports that illustrate the business process or transaction realized in a blockchain implementation and how, in so doing, a real world challenge is addressed.
Admission
There is only a limited number of participants. Interested students need to apply: How to Apply
Exam
All participants will present their blockchain solutions at the end of the summer school and defend these.
PhD students can receive ECTS points. For that, they have to produce a 15 pages comprising report after the summer school.
In addition, they have to defend the report in a 30 minutes oral exam. Only when all three mandatory tasks (presentation, report, and oral exam) are assessed as satisfactory, ECTS points will be granted and a certificate will be issued.
Credits (for PhD students only, pending approval at the moment) 4 ECTS pointsAmount of hours the student is expected to use on the courseParticipation: 60 hours (3 days 8 hour each and 36h hackathon over two days)

Description
Bitcoin. Ethereum. Hyperledger. With all the cryptocurrency buzzwords flying around, it is hard to get to the core of all of these technologies. The essential piece that serves as the underlying mechanism of all these technologies is blockchain. Blockchain is a decentralized, trustless, distributed ledger technology that was popuarlized by the Bitcoin global cryptocurrency platform.
This course will cover the fundamentals of blockchain technology, including the three core layers of a blockchain and the three types of blockchains.This course is appropriate for technologists who are interested in the technology and business owners who are looking to understand the technology on a deeper level.
Who is the target audience?- This blockchain course is meant for anyone who has an interest in blockchain or cryptocurrency technology and who want to know more about the underlying mechanisms that make up a blockchain. Although there will be some references to cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, this course is about blockchain technology on a low level. As such, this course may not be for those who are wanting to do a deep dive into cryptocurrencies specifically.
