The Avalanche Foundation has opened pre-registration for Codebase, Avalanche’s 12-week accelerator program.

Who can apply? Builders, founders, advisors, strategic partners, and investors creating next gen Web3 companies. What’s included in the programming? Milestone planning, weekly sessions with the Ava Labs team, fundraising advice, and much more. Why Codebase? Because builders can become founders and projects can become companies. Selected companies will receive a $50K stipend to participate, and have the opportunity to pitch leading investors across Web2 and Web3 (demo day features a $400,000 investment prize pool). What are you waiting for?

Imagine waiting 4+ years for a full network launch, or 9+ months for an app launch. Couldn’t be AvaCloud.

Why? AvaCloud already deploys custom blockchains quick (like, literally a few clicks). Now, using thirdweb, it has the comprehensive and easy-to-use tooling needed to make the process of launching apps on custom blockchains faster than ever. Thanks to thirdweb’s robust SDKs, pre-built smart contracts, and more, AvaCloud builders can go beyond infra, build high-performance blockchains and apps, and just do the dang thing.
