Venture capital firm a16z Crypto has opened applications for its Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) 04 cohort, an event organized to provide substantial support and resources for crypto startups.
CSX Spring 2025 is scheduled to be held in San Francisco, the same place where it held its first cohort in 2020.
According to the announcement, the move aims to provide expertise, mentorship, and support to startups that need to build ambitious products across the crypto industry.
a16z is inviting innovative crypto startups that are still in their early phases to join its program for an opportunity to pitch their project to an audience of prominent investors, thought leaders, and executives from many of the top crypto companies.
While interested projects can now register for the program, applications will only be open for one month. The company has announced February 7 as the registration deadline.
With this year’s event planned for Spring 2025, a16z has revealed plans to run the CSX 04 program for 3 months, starting in April and ending in June with a Demo Day event.
When the application period elapses, eligible projects that have yet to be disclosed will be selected to join the program and earn the chance to receive investment grants worth up to $500,000. The program propels the projects to notable recognition before their official entry into the crypto market.
Although the program is targeted at helping new projects grow and achieve their business goals, it also positions the broad crypto space for global expansion. Per the announcement, the founders of these projects will also be connected with a network of industry experts and a cohort of leading Web3 teams.
Emerging crypto founders will have the opportunity to attend workshops and 1:1 discussions with specialists from a16z crypto and other experienced operators to improve their expertise.
a16z is renowned for its notable contributions and advocacy for the crypto ecosystem, reflecting its unwavering stance on the fast-growing sector’s positive potential. Apart from new startups, a16z made a big name in the crypto industry following its support for reputable crypto projects like Coinbase, Uniswap and Solana.
