Opacity

I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join our Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 cohort, which starts this week. 

Over the next 8 weeks, they’ll get firsthand lessons from top crypto founders, receive guidance and support from @a16zcrypto’s investing and operating teams, and build connections with each other and the broader a16z network.

The CSX Fall 2024 companies are coming to NYC from 11 different countries, and they’re building on every level of the crypto stack, including AI, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer applications such as photo sharing and mapping. 

We’re thrilled to partner with each of these CSX companies on their journey to product market fit. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/announcing-the-csx-fall-2024-cohort/

Opacity is joining the Fall 2024 cohort of @a16zcrypto’s CSX!

Pumped to connect with the cohort, learn from leaders in the space, and work with @jasonr, @mason, @ncitron.eth, and @eddy 🫡

I don’t think you guys are prepared for the Cambrian explosion that’s about to come!

sounds promising

tackling marketplaces in extraction mode could lead to some serious disruption
