3/ Non-dilutive, pure value-add program

The program is non-dilutive, meaning we do not take equity in or directly provide funding to accelerated startups. Our goal is to pay it forward in Web3 by enabling the next generation of builders to learn from the best.

4/ S-Tiers Mentors

MIT and Harvard have amazing alumni supporting the program!

Learn from Pacman, @catalini, Jeremy Rubin, @keone, @uma, @yisun, Kenny Li, John Wu + investors from @a16zcrypto, Dragonfly Capital, Galaxy Digital, Press Start Capital, @sc, Symbolic Capital, and more!

5/ Personalized intros

We work side by side with every team to identify clear goals, KPIs, and the best intros for you, including L1/2s, investors, or prospective users.

We go above & beyond for our teams!

6/ Community

We’re building this accelerator to be a safe space where all MIT and Harvard builders can turn to for candid advice, mentorship, and support from each other.

We plan to accept up to 12 companies for Cohort 1.

7/ Who should apply?

This program is for founders affiliated with MIT and/or Harvard (current students, faculty, researchers, and alumni) who are committed to working full-time on their project.

8/ What if I'm not a founder and want to contribute to this community?

We are always looking for contributors who want to help make the accelerator a success. 

If you are interested, please DM us to learn more.
