General
Oasis is the leading privacy-enabled, layer-1 blockchain for DeFi. and several projects already building on its network & partners such as the CryptoSafe Alliance with Binance, Chainlink, Balancer & Meter.
Oasis has many key backers including Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, Binance Labs, Pantera Capital amongst others
$3.5M is available for successful projects during/after the Accelerator. An initial $500K ROSE grant pool will be distributed to all teams accepted – of up to $20K each. The additional $3M Oasis will invest in selected teams after Demo Day – which is also a huge opportunity to showcase outstanding projects to institutional investors and to receive further investment capital beyond the Oasis Foundation funding
The ‘Apply Now’ button found above will take you to our application page where we’ll ask you some questions to see if we can help – applications ARE competitive! for assistance: hello@oasisaccelerate.com
Program
To help you successfully leverage the world-leading Oasis technology, we’ve put together a series of workshops & a mentor/advisor pool of best-in-class talent, advice & experience
Applications are open until the 15th of January and are accepted on a semi-rolling basis. The Programme kicks off 2/2/22 – the Second of February, 2022 – and runs up until June, though assistance is still available after this!
As with all things in life, you get out what you put in! Though we fully expect participants to choose the most suitable sessions for them, we expect a minimum attendance/engagement with the program, mentor pool & cohort
Each startup gets to take advantage of the full curriculum of 12+ workshops, but in addition to this, gets weekly business/strategy office hours & accountability sessions to help stay on track. Weekly technical/biz dev sessions to ensure the maximum benefit from the Oasis ecosystem, along with a host of add-on, plugin & social programming!
All roads lead to Demo Day – a big graduation, celebration & pitch event attended by some of the world’s best partners; from investors and entrepreneurs, to press, media & valuable contacts! However, not every entrepreneur has the same end goal – and so we’ll ensure that your aims at the beginning of the program, whether they be investment, sales/revenue, partnerships or press, are achieved!
Mentors
We have a spectacular pool of some of the most experienced and successful figures in the space. These can be classified into 5 loose areas, though with plenty of overlap, including but not limited to: 1) Experienced Academics 2) Successful Entrepreneurs 3) Subject-matter Experts 4) Investment Partners (VCs, Angels) & 5) Press & Media Figures
Some mentors/experts will be coming down to put on expert masterclasses for the entire cohort. Others, however, get matched 1-on-1 directly with the entrepreneurs themselves – based on their area of expertise, and the startup’s need
The collective Accelerator team has wide-ranging (& global) connections in the startup ecosystems – if there’s someone you’d like to connect with, we can always reach out!
3 months CAN go pretty quickly! If there’s a topic, subject or focus-area that you feel would be incredibly useful for yourself/the rest of the cohort – we can look to arrange this – if appropriate
Partners
Cohort members get the full support of a range of partners, offering advice, support, connections & perks. These range from universities, corporates, ecosystem & tech partners.
In many different ways, but there are specifically ecosystem partners that will assist in your onward journey with their own offerings, courses, value-adds, 1-to-1 support or otherwise – your journey doesn’t end at Demo Day!
As with all aspects of the Accelerator Program, we tailor your experience to your needs and what will take your startup to the next level
Reach out to us – we’re always looking for committed people and partners to get in front of, and support, the next-generation of entrepreneurs! hello@oasisaccelerate.com
Pitches
An exciting staple of the startup scene, Demo Day involves your presentation and graduation from the accelerator program. You’ll pitch to a select VIP audience of fellow startups, investors, mentors, judges & press – and shout out about what you do! The best projects also have the chance to receive a share of $3m further investment from the Oasis Foundation.
All of the workshops and engagements in the program are designed to put your startup and business in the best possible place – and this includes prepping you/your team for Demo Day
A virtual-first live event, this will be recorded and promoted far and wide – also giving you the chance to use this video/media collateral for your own marketing and success!
It is – for now! Though Demo Day marks the end of the curriculum ‘programming’, after graduation we’re still here to support and advise – including giving you access to any new or missed workshops in future, and being here to support through new milestones. You can also return; to share your journey with the next upcoming cohorts and alumni!
