Blockchain at Berkeley Grants is motivated by one core objective—to bridge the gap between students’ unbridled potential and the resources they need to manifest their vision. Our mission is to foster student-driven blockchain innovation through early-stage funding to trailblazing startups, novel projects, and transformative research. The future of high-impact, student-targeted funding is students empowering students.
The Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator launched in January 2019 as a non-dilutive, joint venture between Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Berkeley Engineering’s Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology, and the Blockchain at Berkeley student club. Since then, it has incubated over 65 companies (including Acala, AnChain.AI, Eluv.io, StormX & more) that have raised over $200M+ in follow-on funding. More than 75% of the inaugural batch raised follow-on funding at or after Demo Day, making the Xcelerator one of the leading blockchain accelerators in the world.
