Following the success of the first Filecoin accelerator program last year, we are excited to announce the second cohort of our Filecoin Base Camp. We have handpicked teams from over 300 applicants, each building high quality components based on the Open Metaverse OS thesis.
Participating teams cover themes across data oracles, gaming, virtual worlds, social identity, DAOs, AI synthetic media, NFT tooling and creator platforms that combine creativity with the Open Metaverse interoperability. The selected founders are from a variety of backgrounds from crypto natives united by a passion for building to serial web2 entrepreneurs. Each of our founders demonstrate the long term strategic focus and perseverance required to successfully execute and deliver their vision.
In the past, we have invested in great teams building within the Filecoin ecosystem, such as OP Games, Functionland, and Fayre. Our mission for the Filecoin Base Camp goes beyond helping great teams succeed, we want to contribute to the growth of the Filecoin ecosystem as a whole.
Please join us in celebrating the following teams that will be participating!
