Farfetch has teamed up with metaverse brand accelerator Outlier Ventures to launch a new program designed to encourage more brands to get involved in web3 development.
On Wednesday, the two companies announced a new program called Dream Assembly Base Camp. According to Farfetch, the new program is designed to provide mentorship, networking, and support to luxury fashion and lifestyle startups eager to develop the future of web3 luxury commerce.
The remote 12-week program will be tailored to each startup and will focus on digital fashion, tokenized loyalty, immersive experiences, and the creator economy, Farfetch said. Participating startups will gain access to Farfetch and Outlier Ventures’ network of mentors from the fashion, technology and web3 industries, as well as investors, to support their future fundraising efforts.
