Teams with at least a proof of concept on, or interested in building, on Algorand. We accept both technical and non-technical teams, with the ideal team consisting of founders with complementary skills.
At any time. We accept startups on a rolling basis through October 2025.
The program is fully remote, allowing startups from anywhere in the world to participate. All mentorship sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities are conducted online, ensuring flexibility while providing comprehensive support.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. While the core program follows a structured curriculum culminating in a Demo Day in October 2025, we acknowledge and respect that every startup moves at its own pace. Some teams may progress faster, while others may need more time. Our flexible framework allows you to take the time you need to build and scale effectively.
Selected startups will have access to:
No, but you should have at least a proof of concept (PoC)* ready or in development early in the program.
* A PoC is a small-scale experiment or prototype to test whether an idea is feasible from a technical or practical standpoint. It’s usually not a functional product but rather a demonstration that the concept can work.
No. The Algorand Accelerator is completely free and we don’t take any equity. The only requirement is that you continue building on Algorand after the program.
In addition to getting financial support of up to $50,000, you’ll receive tailored business, product, and tech mentorship. Plus, you’ll gain access to the Algorand ecosystem, our exclusive marketing and amplification support, and office hours with expert legal, accounting, and compliance consultants to help you scale smoothly. In addition to that, you will also have the chance to pitch to our network of investors and Algorand ventures.
The program covers key topics such as identifying success metrics, driving user growth through campaigns and KOLs, and building a strong team. You’ll optimize operations with CRM and project management tools, enhance your product’s UI/UX, and create a solid partnerships plan with negotiation skills. We’ll help you refine your revenue and fundraising funnels and craft an investor pitch that resonates with the tools to build a compelling investor deck.
A Demo Day is the program's culmination, where selected startups pitch their projects to Algorand Ventures and our network of investors. It’s your chance to showcase your progress and secure potential funding and partnerships. Demo Day will take place in October 2025.
