Why Build Offline Accelerator?🫂 At XFounders Bootcamp, we’re all about bringing founders together in real life. Sure, online programs deliver content, but they miss something huge—those real, human moments that spark big breakthroughs. In Season 1 and 2, we saw it happen every time: • Founders showed up focused on the educational content. • But through shared meals, late-night chats, and informal activities, they began to open up, exchange insights, and truly connect. • The result? Friendships, partnerships, and even collaborative projects born right on the spot. Offline isn’t just about learning—it’s about building trust, sharing ideas, and forming bonds that last long after the bootcamp ends. And here’s the truth: When founders come together face-to-face, that’s when the magic happens. 🚀 A new XFounders Bootcamp #Season3 is coming!

Universities Behind Web3 Founders 🎓 In our #Web3 Startups Trend Report 2024, we analyzed the educational backgrounds of founders from projects that raised more than $1 million and uncovered some interesting statistics. More than a third graduated from top-500 universities (according to the QS World University Rankings 2024), with 19% being alumni of top-100 institutions. Education is undoubtedly important, and we agree with that. However, it’s not the only factor that matters when it comes to becoming a successful Web3 founder. 👉What’s even more crucial is what you do: the events you attend, the accelerators you join, and the connections you make. At XFounders, we create an educational environment where you meet experts from top-tier companies, learn from their experiences, and get traction and mentorship to advance your journey in Web3. As we’re preparing some exciting new opportunities for founders next year, read our 2024 report and follow us for updates! ✨ 👉 2024 Web3 Startup Trends:https://lnkd.in/e-Ccg2Sy
