Entrepreneur and Crypto enthusiast Trevor Owens announced the launch of the Stacks Accelerator Fund via a Crowdcast stream, Tuesday, April 13th. The news comes as the price of Stacks native token (STX) continues to grow in the aftermath of the February announcement that it would be listed on Korean Exchange, Upbit. This latest project aims to accelerate funding for builders and developers on Stacks to help them be successful. Some of the projects built on Stacks to date include the communication suite Pravica, data collection and sharing service Block Survey and the STX NFT wallet Boom.
The Stacks Accelerator Fund was founded by four of the organisations in the Stacks Ecosystem; The Stacks Foundation, Hiro, Daemon Technologies and Freehold. It is a $4 million evergreen fund with 80% of returns going back to the fund in order to invest in more projects building on Stacks. What do you get if you are successful in applying for the fund?
Access to an elite network of mentors, investors, entrepreneurs and developers who will provide both hands on support and capital to grow
For successful applicants to the Stacks Accelerator Fund the programme will be in three parts:
May 2021 - Product Development Camp
June 2021 - Pitching and Fundraising Camp
July 2021 - Launch Week and Demo Day
The fund offers up to $50k in investment and is looking for teams solving real world problems, building high-stakes products, projects uniquely suited for Stacks as well as driven founders with a proven history. Both well established and fledgling companies are invited to apply. If this sounds like an opportunity you or your team would like to avail of apply by May 14th at https://stacks.ac/
