Techstars maintains notable experience and expertise in the blockchain space, with a number of strong blockchain companies in the Techstars portfolio including Chainalysis , recently valued at $2 billion, Arweave , TradingView , and more.

Located in London, the Launchpool Web3 Techstars Accelerator will work with ten startups each year over an intensive, three-month acceleration period. They will receive funding, hands-on mentorship, exposure to a minimum viable community, access to curated workshops and resources, and join the Techstars global network for life. Applications open from September 13 to December 1, 2021 and the first year of the accelerator will operate from March to June 2022.
“Alphabit is thrilled Techstars is partnering with Launchpool and us to bring the first Techstars accelerator to the crypto world.
