 <\/p>\n

\u00c6 Ventures, <\/span>an investment company providing initial funding, acceleration, and advisory support to blockchain projects, <\/span>announced that they have provided over 1,5 million USD in investments to blockchain start-up companies since their launch in 2018. \u00c6 Ventures also announced that applications are now open for the third edition of its Starfleet Accelerator program, which offers members mentorship and investment opportunities of up to $100,000 USD. The Accelerator Program will commence in early November 2019 and will take place in one of the hottest spots for emerging blockchain companies – Malta. Applications are now open at\u00a0<\/span>aeternitystarfleet.com<\/span><\/a> and the application deadline<\/span> is October 20, 2019<\/span> (at 11:59 pm EEST).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By tradition, the third edition of the Starfleet Accelerator program will commence with Genesis Week, a period when participating startups receive access to mentorship and support in areas such as business models, token economics, blockchain infrastructure, and \u00e6ternity apps architecture, from the best experts in the industry. This edition of the program in Malta will also be a part of an ongoing cooperation with Microsoft Innovation Centre Malta, which host all Starfleet activities. Teams from all over the world will be able to participate in the Accelerator either on-site in Malta or remotely via a constant live-stream, and upon completion, \u00c6 Ventures will provide the selected teams with funding of up to $100,000 USD.<\/span><\/p>\n

First Starfleet Accelerator program in 2020 to take place in India<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c6 Ventures also announced that India was chosen to be the official location for the first Starfleet acceleration program in 2020, which brings great opportunities for promising seed-stage blockchain startups from this part of the world. India is currently hosting the third-largest number of startup unicorns globally and is home to over 5 million working developers. It is also estimated that over 300 blockchain startups are currently operational in India and several more early-stage startups can directly benefit from the Starfleet acceleration program. Moreover, the Government of India is also keen on implementing blockchain solutions to provide efficient public welfare programs. In light of this potential, Starfleet India will be organized in partnership with IBC Media, a blockchain-based media company with extensive experience in organizing accelerator programs and conferences in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are amazed by the growth of the Starfleet accelerator program from its start to now and we can\u2019t wait to launch the third edition with new companies breaking blockchain barriers,\u201d said Nikola Stojanow, CEO of \u00c6 Ventures. \u201cHosting the program in Malta and India presents new opportunities to engage the burgeoning blockchain culture in these regions and we\u2019re proud to continue to foster global blockchain growth through these communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
