NEW YORK The CryptoOracle Collective, a decentralized web3 advisory service comprising over 300 experts in web3 and AI, today announces the opening of applications for Cohort #2 of its AI Web3 Accelerator. Following the success of Cohort #1, this next cohort will commence on September 23rd.
Leading the Accelerator once again will be Eric Bravick, a seasoned AI expert with 35 years of experience, CEO of The Lifted Initiative, and Head of AI at The Collective, alongside Lou Kerner, a prominent web3 thought leader, Partner at Blockchain Coinvestors, and Founder of the Collective. The program will also expand its leadership with the addition of Charlies Kanavel, Co-Organizer of CryptoMondays Palo Alto, as a third Co-Lead.
Applications are now being accepted for the ten projects that will be selected to participate in Cohort #2. Interested parties can apply at CryptoOracle.io/accelerator. The 8-week Accelerator program will focus on critical areas such as fundraising, community building, business operations, and technical foundations. It is open to projects operating at the intersection of AI and Web3 that have plans to tokenize.
In addition, many members of the CryptoOracle community are also part of the Morpheus decentralized AI community. As a result, participants in Cohort #2 can expect substantial exposure to the Morpheus community and their Mor20 Fair launch program during the Accelerator.
“As AI and Web3 continue to converge, it is vital to harness the momentum from our first cohort to address the key challenges at this crossroads,” said Eric Bravick. “Cohort #1’s success highlighted the vast opportunities in this space, and we’re eager to see how Cohort #2 will push the boundaries even further.”
Lou Kerner added, “Cohort #1’s success underscores the strength of The Collective’s expert network and community-driven approach. Cohort #2 participants will benefit from sessions led by top figures in AI and Web3. Our goal is to empower innovative projects leveraging these technologies to solve previously unsolvable problems.”
The program includes 24 one-hour virtual classes, led by leaders at the forefront of AI and Web3. We look forward to many of our Cohort #1 guest lecturers returning for Cohort #2 including Avery Ching (founder of Aptos), Keli Callaghan (Arrington Ventures), Jarrod Barnes (NEAR), and Mike Anderson (6079). Some new mentors have also been added, including Nolan Ford (Cadenza) and John Sarson (Sarson Funds). The Accelerator will culminate in a Virtual Demo Day on November 20th, featuring participation from leading venture capitalists, institutional investors, family offices, and angel investors. Participants will also benefit from access to a growing roster of mentors and in-kind services provided by the Accelerator’s partners, many of whom will also be teaching and offering one-on-one mentoring.
