Accelerator Team

  • Who should apply?
    The Starknet Accelerator Program primarily targets existing teams aiming to scale, improve product-market fit, and secure additional funding. It also welcomes Web2 companies integrating Starknet into their existing solutions.
  • Does the program provide funding?
    Yes, the Starknet Accelerator Program offers up to $200,000 USD in total investment across the cohort for exceptional projects demonstrating strong potential within the Starknet ecosystem.
  • How is the program structured?
    The Starknet Accelerator Program kicks off with an open application stage featuring live events, one-on-one meetings, and group pitch sessions to ensure the most suitable teams join. It then transitions into an intensive 8-week virtual accelerator and mentorship program divided into two key milestones: In Milestone A (Weeks 1-4), teams refine their product roadmap and go-to-market strategy, conduct user research, craft compelling pitches, and build lean MVPs to test their product’s value proposition. In Milestone B (Weeks 5-8), participants focus on tightening up their MVPs, onboarding early adopters, collecting actionable feedback, and achieving their first on-chain traction. Throughout both milestones, founders receive personalized business and technical advice from Upright’s extensive mentor network to drive substantial growth.
