On November 15th, at the Dream Pitch "The Future of Finance Opened Up by Fintech" held within the Climbers Startup JAPAN 2023 Expo, Standage's Vice President, Omori, took the stage to pitch and won first place out of three companies based on audience votes.

In the six-minute pitch, we introduced our core business: a trade settlement system utilizing blockchain and stablecoins. We discussed how we can achieve the simultaneous exchange of "payment (stablecoins)" and "goods (electronic bills of lading)" in trade, the challenges we can solve, and our comparisons and advantages over competing services.

After all three companies in the theme had finished their pitches, the audience voted, and Standage was awarded the prize for receiving the most votes.

Upon receiving the award, Omori commented, "Trade is a field that is not easily perceived as familiar to people, so I am very happy that so many people have recognized my work."
