Tatum Blockchain Accelerator focused on creating success for early-stage companies in Web 3.0, NFTs, digital wallets, digital contracts and other innovations

LONDON and MIAMI, 22 February 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Tatum, the company that drastically simplifies the development of blockchain applications, announced that it has partnered with StartupYard to accelerate business success and time-to-market for early-stage fintech and Web 3.0 startups through the Tatum Blockchain Accelerator. The program addresses technology and business factors that often inhibit or weaken the start-up of Web 3.0 and digital finance.

“Many innovative and promising Web 3.0 and digital finance companies never make it to market due to a combination of critical business and technical factors,” said Jiri Kobelka, co-founder and CEO, Tatum. “Tatum has long bridged the difficult technical gap of creating or integrating blockchain into applications, and now, together with StartupYard, we are addressing the other common factors that prevent great ideas and interesting companies from succeeding.”

• €20k in cash as a single convertible note or SAFE or SAFT, with the option of a higher investment

• Co-marketing to the Tatum Ecosystem

• Access to StartupYard’s international deep network of mentors, partners and investors
• Legal support
• Ongoing support after the program as a StartupYard portfolio company

“Blockchain is an essential element for many of today’s digital businesses, but adding it can add significant costs and lengthen time to market, perhaps undermining a company’s hopes and business plan,” said Cedric Maloux, CEO, StartupYard. “We have an excellent track record of launching great companies, and by partnering with Tatum, we can help startups avoid sometimes insurmountable blockchain issues.”

Eligibility for the Tatum Blockchain Accelerator requires a company to develop an application or service in Web 3.0, non-Pivotable Tokens (NFT), digital wallets, digital contracts or other digital business and digital finance. Companies must preferably work with blockchain protocols Ethereum Virtual machine or compatible protocols. Additionally, the first iteration of the application should be live or in the process of going live on Testnet. Candidate companies are jointly selected by Tatum and StartupYard.

There is no upfront fee for the program. Instead, StartupYard is issuing a convertible with a cap value of €40,000 for participation in the Tatum Blockchain Accelerator. The amount depends on the start-up stage, but usually ranges between €800,000 and €1.5 million with a 20% discount. The convertible bond is valid for 18 months.

The Tatum Blockchain Accelerator is backed by top Central European venture capital firms, including Credo Ventures, Rockaway Capital, Depo Ventures and Purple Ventures. The program also already includes a number of active angel investors. It’s a program designed by tech entrepreneurs for tech entrepreneurs.
