Welcome to the 404 Accelerator Page!

General Overview

The 404 Accelerator is dedicated to supporting early-stage startups looking to raise pre-seed or seed funding. By leveraging our extensive connections in the web3 ecosystem, we look to propel startups toward success in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Throughout the 10-week program, you will meet like-minded co-founders, interface with expert mentors/speakers, and be introduced to investors looking to fund early-stage startups.

Our Principles

We Bet on People. The 404 Accelerator is a founder-first program. Startup success ultimately comes down to the team and its ability to execute. We value principled founders with integrity and passion for building long-term solutions enabled by web3.
Blockchain is a Feature, not the Product - The previous cycle saw a boom of crypto-specific blockchain companies; many failed because they focused solely on the financialization aspect rather than solving real-world problems. We look for startups that leverage blockchain in practical and meaningful ways to create new solutions rather than simply adopting it for the buzzword.
Prioritize the User - As an industry, web3 still has a high barrier to entry. The path to mainstream adoption lies in abstracting away the technology while utilizing its key benefits. By prioritizing the user experience above all else, startups can create intuitive and impactful solutions that drive mass adoption. We seek out startups that share this vision and are committed to delivering seamless and user-centric experiences to their users.

Mentors and Coaches

We connect startups with a diverse range of mentors, carefully selected to address their current needs and accelerate their growth. This will be coupled with a pool of general coaches covering various specialties. Below are a few coaches you can expect to interact with during the 404 Accelerator:
