Ten startups were chosen from over 200 applications to complete the Fuelarts x Tezos accelerator.

In total, the video pitches for the accelerator program were viewed by over 500 individuals and companies. Some participants in the Fuelarts x Tezos Accelerator batch have already received initial requests and are currently negotiating with investors.
“This was already Fuelarts’ third batch of successful accelerator participants, but the first one in collaboration with Tezos. Witnessing the exponential growth and progress of these startups has been truly inspiring, and we are immensely proud of their achievements. We’ll stay in touch with our graduates and provide them with attention and support.
