James Marchant, Block Dojo Chairman, shared that the Dojo has a “founder first” mentality. The main goal is to support entrepreneurs in unlocking their potential while creating startups that harness the power of the BSV blockchain. The Dojo team established itself as one of the UK’s leading technology incubators responsible for launching more successful blockchain startups than any other incubator or accelerator. They are incredibly excited to help entrepreneurs in the Philippines and provide a springboard for new and innovative businesses while helping existing Filipino businesses harness the power of blockchain and transition into the Web3 world.
