The Defi.org Accelerator team is excited to announce that three companies were selected to participate in the program’s first batch.
The companies chosen are (alphabetically ordered):
While each team focuses its efforts on a different type of solution they have each demonstrated a highly impressive and unique approach to DeFi. Furthermore, the teams consist of blockchain veterans who are all seasoned entrepreneurs. It was a difficult task to screen the extraordinary teams who applied, but these three teams shined above the rest.
We are looking forward to working with the teams towards our mutual goal to drive innovation in the DeFi space
