This holistic approach ensures our participants are well-equipped to handle the challenges of building and scaling a Web 3.0, Crypto, and Blockchain startup.

InnMind Accelerate Q2 in Founders' Own Words:
Full Testimonial from the Binaryx Team:
Binaryx Platform passed the April-June 2023 batch. We applied for 30+ web3-focused and government equity-free accelerators at the beginning of the year. We chose Innmind based on feedback from partners and peers in the market. I have been through 3 accelerations with startups in my life, and I can say that most accelerators do not give enough support, even if they have a lot of funds and experts on board. But in the case of Innmind, it was the opposite. The reality exceeded expectations several times over.
The first thing I would like to point out is the professional team. I especially want to mention Kate, Neli, and Abdul - they are people in their field!
The second is the mentors and their lectures. I was impressed a few times by the lecturers' level of experience and expertise. We had the founders of the already big crypto projects with massive liquidity, a lecturer from Google and representatives of experienced crypto companies.
Third are the services, benefits, and pitch sessions. It is clear that the accelerator is trying to give more and more value and builds an ecosystem of interaction between startups, mentors and investors. We got $10K from Amazon Web Services + significant discounts on the services we use.
Separately, I want to highlight the mastermind sessions. I have never seen such a practice; it is one of the most valuable techniques. And we continue to do it even after the end of our acceleration program.
For me, InnMind is the most productive and valuable accelerator! Considering that there aren't many of them in the web3 space - if you are early a stage crypto startup, you should definitely apply here!
Full Testimonial from the Qualoo Team:
We can't thank InnMind enough for the incredible experience we had in their accelerator program. It truly transformed our startup journey in the best way possible. The support and resources we received were exceptional, and we're thrilled to share the highlights of our time with InnMind.
Firstly, the weekly calls dedicated to refining our tokenomics and fundraising strategies were invaluable. The expert guidance and feedback we received during these sessions propelled us forward and helped us navigate the complexities of the crypto world with confidence. Additionally, the opportunity to learn from industry-leading speakers, such as the former C-level executive at Enjinstarter and the co-founder at Metis, was an eye-opening experience that provided us with invaluable insights and inspiration.
One of the most remarkable aspects of our time in the accelerator was the incredible cohort of fellow entrepreneurs we had the privilege to connect with. The bonds we formed during the program have extended beyond the duration of the accelerator, and we're grateful for the long-lasting relationships we've cultivated with like-minded individuals who share our passion and ambition.
We can't praise the InnMind team enough for their unwavering support and dynamic approach. Even after the accelerator ended, they remained responsive and actively engaged with our progress. We're proud to say that we've grown into a completely different team and startup than we were just three months ago, and the advice and insights we gained from InnMind continue to positively impact our project and team in immeasurable ways. InnMind truly exceeded our expectations, and we're excited to carry the invaluable lessons and connections forward as we embark on our entrepreneurial journey.
The results of the Q2 2023 InnMind Accelerate program have once again reaffirmed our commitment to nurturing new ideas and innovations in the digital world. Witnessing these startups transform their ideas into concrete, actionable plans and, subsequently, successful businesses, is an immense reward for us.
As we celebrate the achievements of our Q2 2023 cohort, we are also brimming with excitement for what's coming next. We are continually improving and expanding our program to ensure that more promising Web 3.0, Crypto, and Blockchain startups get the mentorship, resources, and support they need to make their mark in the global market.
