Ken Timsit, Head of Cronos Labs said, "The overwhelming response we received for our inaugural cohort of the Cronos Accelerator Program was a clear signal of our community's continued interest in growing the Cronos ecosystem. Spurred by this, the second cohort will build upon the success of its predecessor to enhance the Cronos ecosystem. Through this Accelerator and Cronos Labs' other initiatives including ecosystem grants, hackathons, and the incubator project, we are invested in the future of the Cronos chain and as a result of these efforts, the number of innovative dapps on Cronos such as D.G. Pals, VVSgotchi, Minted, and Eyeball Pool, continues to rise, helping propel the mainstream adoption of Web3 by providing appealing offerings to everyday users."

In addition to the mentorship and seed funding opportunities, the Cronos Accelerator Program will also host a Demo Day in early July 2023, where shortlisted participants will pitch their projects to investment partners of the program.

Cronos launched the Accelerator Program in June 2022, and its first cohort, comprising nine startups selected from over 300 applicants, commenced the following month featuring partners such as Mechanism Capital, Crypto.com Capital, OKX Blockdream Ventures, Ubisoft and Longhash Ventures, as well as mentors from Cronos Labs, Spartan Labs, and IOSG Ventures among others. With three to four cohorts each year, the Cronos Accelerator Program aims to provide ongoing support through funding and guidance to the most promising new projects in Web3.
