Today at #DevCon, we met Pete Townsend, Managing Director at Techstars Web3. We had an in-depth conversation about various approaches to acceleration, value for startups, and the industry’s growth directions and focus areas. It would be amazing to co-organize one of the upcoming XFounders Web3 Accelerator Bootcamp with Techstars. The fresh approach of XFounders combined with the experience of Techstars could create something really exciting. What do you think? 😎
