Why apply for a PL Accelerator Program
summary
Protocol Labs runs cohort accelerators that take hackathon MVPs to funded startups, partnering with Techstars, Graph Paper Capital, LongHash and Outlier Ventures and investing in teams building on IPFS/Filecoin/libp2p. Programs deliver technical workshops (including ZK Roll-Ups), mentor office hours, investor intros, a demo day and access to PL engineering support; the network spans 36 cohorts and ~300 founders whose companies have raised hundreds of millions. Applications go through a waitlist or direct apply flow; expectations focus on feasibility, desirability, viability and active engagement.
