From a hackathon project to a VC deal
summary
Overview of a VC-readiness path: explains a 3-month virtual accelerator focused on IPFS and FVM builders, with mentor networks, a three-phase cadence (intense feedback, knowledge-building, execution/fundraising) and a $100K stipend per team. Covers criteria investors actually use — team, market/traction, domain expertise, and high-growth potential — plus recommended MVP signals, ideal founder pairings (CEO+CTO), cohort types (base camp and ascent) and common rejection reasons like market timing or weak go-to-market.
