Tatum and StartupYard Partner to Accelerate Fintech and Web 3.0 Startups with Funding, Business Expertise and a Fast Track to Blockchain Technology

LONDON and MIAMI, Feb. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tatum, the company drastically simplifying blockchain applications development, announced it has partnered with StartupYard to accelerate business success and time-to-market for early-stage fintech and Web 3.0 startups through the Tatum Blockchain Accelerator. The program addresses technology and business factors that often inhibit or impair Web 3.0 and digital finance startups.


"Many innovative and promising Web 3.0 and digital finance companies never make it to market due to a combination of decisive business and technical factors," said Jiri Kobelka, co-founder and chief executive officer, Tatum. "Tatum has long bridged the difficult technical gap in creating or integrating blockchain to applications, and, now, joining with StartupYard, we address the other common factors that prevent great ideas and interesting companies from success."

Eligibility for the Tatum Blockchain Accelerator requires that a company is developing an application or service in Web 3.0, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Digital Wallets, Digital Contracts or other digital business and digital finance. Companies must be working on any blockchain protocol, preferably Ethereum Virtual Machine or compatible protocols. In addition, the first iteration of the application should live on or about to go live on Testnet. Candidate companies are selected jointly by Tatum and StartupYard.
There is no upfront charge for the program. Instead, StartupYard issues a capped convertible note valued at €40,000 for participation in the Tatum Blockchain Accelerator.
