ADA MakerSpace will host a 16 Week Online Accelerator Program for 6 Startup Idea Teams in which we will help them validate their ideas using Lean Startup Principles.

During the 16 weeks, ADA MakerSpace will develop 6 Minimal Viable Products (MVPs) for the Idea Teams to use in their go-to-market strategy.

ADA MakerSpace will make connections to VCs and Angels for Idea Teams that have traction with their MVPs and Validated their ideas.

The Accelerator Cohort meetings would be recorded and available to help others learn how to use Lean Startup Principles to launch their ideas on Cardano. And the development of the MVPs would be recorded lessons available on our YouTube Channel to help others learn how to build on Cardano.

The funding requested would be used to pay developers to build the MVPs for those taking part in the Accelerator, and some would be used to support admin related expenses Idea Teams have in going to market. Each Idea Team in the Accelerator would receive $6,000 in Development Services during the 16 weeks.

Entrepreneurs and startups can apply to be one of the six Idea Teams here: https://adamaker.space/cardano-blockchain-accelerator/

The Accelerator Program would start 2 weeks after funding is received from Catalyst.
