Rationale Behind the Incubation Program

Different degrees of assistance can be beneficial for founders at various stages of their company’s lifecycle. Early-stage entrepreneurs can benefit from networking to identify effective teams, funding to transform concepts into viable MVPs, and development tools to build out their products. Middle-late-stage startups may prioritize community development and performance monitoring, while late-stage companies with sizable communities might focus on scaling operations without additional customer acquisition costs or creating a strong TGE strategy.

At every phase of a project’s lifecycle, the 0G Foundation offers strategic help in these areas. Co-hosted by One Piece Labs, this incubator program provides resources, technology assistance, community development, mentoring, effective co-marketing, and investor connections.

Additionally, 0G aims to use its vast network and cutting-edge infrastructure to spur revolutionary changes in Web3 and AI businesses already in operation. These businesses may need high-performance DA with minimal latency, inexpensive data storage, and decentralized inference via a serving layer.
