Applications Open: Octant Accelerator

If you’re a builder/project who’s received at least 1 grant (from any ecosystem), this one’s for you.

Since last year, we’ve keenly been listening and talking to builders, grantees, and grants program operators in this space. We've heard one recurring challenge repeated every time: project sustainability. Even some of the best projects in this space have yet to figure out their revenue model and how to become sustainable.

So how do we tackle this? How do we help projects grow and play a role in how they get to sustainability?

Our solution? A 4-week accelerator program for builders who are serious about growth. Action packed. No-fluff. For builders, by builders.

💡 Straight up content, from no-BS people. Each week will be packed with insights, experts, toolkits, and the best part? You get to learn by doing.

📈 This isn’t for passive growth— you’ll actively be working towards figuring out your business model, building your partnership and revenue funnel, working on distribution, community experiments, and work towards building a memorable brand with growing users.

💚 All this while building with other builders who are just as serious about growth.

Our speakers and mentors are some of the best in this industry (from JokeRace, Aztec Network, Pizza DAO, and Ethereum Foundation to name a few)

Who’s eligible?

💚 Builders who:

  • Have received at least 1 grant for their project (from any grants program)
  • Are ready to commit 30+ hours working on their project every week
  • Commit to financial sustainability and growth
  • Aren’t afraid of user feedback and radical candor
  • Are ready to experiment and try cool (and sometimes unhinged) approaches to marketing and user growth
  • Have a get-it-done mindset and excellent work ethic
  • Will attend the entirety of the program (remotely)

Take a bet on yourself and apply. It’s time to grow.

  • Application Deadline: 14 Sept, 2024
  • Program Dates: 26 Sept - 24 Oct, 2024

⭐️ We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis till our deadline. The sooner you apply, the quicker you’ll hear back.
