We have believed in Bitcoin longer, and more loudly, than almost anyone in venture. So when it became clear that Bitcoin was outgrowing its role as digital gold and turning into a platform to build on, we did not want to watch from the sidelines. We helped start the BitcoinFi Accelerator.
What it is
The BitcoinFi Accelerator is a six-week program we launched with Thesis and Boost VC to fund and mentor the founders building decentralized finance, social apps, and infrastructure directly on Bitcoin. Each team gets capital, mentorship, and access to our network, and the first cohort began in November 2024. The goal is simple: find the best builders in the ecosystem early, and back them the day they need it.
Why we are doing this
Boost VC, run by Adam Draper, launched the very first Bitcoin accelerator more than a decade ago. Thesis has spent years shipping real Bitcoin products. We have seen what happens when you back conviction founders before the rest of the market understands the opportunity. Some of our earliest bets, from Coinbase to Tesla to SpaceX, came from exactly that instinct.
“Bitcoin is entering its next chapter as a platform for real-world solutions. The potential of Bitcoin as both a global currency and a technology stack is enormous, and this program will help unlock it.”
Tim Draper
Companies from the first cohort, including Torram, are already building the rails for institutional finance on Bitcoin. This is how we fund the future first: not by waiting for the winners to appear, but by helping create them.
