Stacks Launches $4M Accelerator to Fund Tech Teams Building Apps on Bitcoin

Founders , Builders and Developers: don't miss out on the launch of the Stacks Accelerator, a program aimed at fuelling innovation on Bitcoin via the Stacks blockchain.

The program is led by Trevor Owens (entrepreneur and author, whose startups have raised over $100M in venture funding) and backed by the Stacks Foundation, Hiro Systems, Daemon Technologies, and Freehold. The accelerator has committed an initial fund of $4M USD to support over 100 early-stage startup teams.

Program Highlights:

Up to $50,000 in funding for participating ventures ($25,000 upfront and $25,000 as part of the funding round), with additional funding and mentorship continuing indefinitely thereafter.

Mentorship from industry experts across the accelerator and crypto spaces, including: Eric Ries (author of the The Lean Startup) and Meltem Demirors (CSO of CoinShares)

Access to a potential user base and follow-on investors through the Stacks network of over 300,000 token holders, including leading investors such as USV, Lux Capital, Winklevoss Capital, and Zhen Fund.
