Techstars Web3 Accelerator

This accelerator works with entrepreneurs building in web3 and enabling the next wave of growth in the decentralized internet and in tokenized economies. We invest in and accelerate founders enabling the onboarding and engagement of the first one billion users of web3. Where we see a big push towards the ‘protocolization’ of web services, there is so much to build for capital, data and machines to better serve us. Incentive mechanisms, utilities, and usability are key but we know there is a lot taking shape - from application layers and tooling, to infrastructure, interoperability, security, identity and more.
