Powering Builders: Get to know PGA’s first cohort
At Pocket Network, we’re committed to supporting the next generation of innovators. That’s why we launched the Pocket Network Accelerator Program—a highly competitive initiative designed to help promising teams scale their projects with decentralized infrastructure.
From hundreds of applications, only six teams were selected for our first cohort! Each team is receiving $25,000 in funding alongside mentorship, technical support, and access to our ecosystem to fuel their growth.
In this series, we’ll introduce each of the participating teams, sharing their vision, challenges, and how they’re leveraging Pocket Network to push the boundaries of the new internet.
