New Guild Accelerator Program

Animoca Brands has partnered with Brinc, a leading global venture accelerator, to launch the Guild Accelerator Program to build and grow the play-to-earn (P2E) guild ecosystem globally. The new acceleration program offers a total investment capital of up to US$30 million over two years.

The Guild Accelerator Program aims to enable millions of people around the world to generate income by participating in P2E gaming via crypto gaming guilds. Admission to the program is prioritized for guilds with a commitment to sustainability. This includes projects that support and give back to player/scholar communities, place emphasis on energy-efficient proof-of-stake protocols and side chains, and have lower overall physical footprints.

The Guild Accelerator Program will operate as a dedicated track within Launchpad Luna, the accelerator launched in mid-2021. Online applications are open at ‘brinc.io/guild‘ until 27 February 2022, and the first cohort is scheduled to start in May.

Led by Richard Robinson, entrepreneur-in-residence at Animoca Brands, the Guild Accelerator Program will fund up to $500,000 per guild. To optimize each guild’s performance and help scale growth, the program will foster innovation, set up management and operational systems, share best-in-class learnings from world-class mentors, expand each platform’s user base and assets, and help raise funds beyond the startup phase. Mentors and experts supporting the Guild Accelerator Program include Brendan Wong (founder of Avocado Guild), Saruboti Sasuke (head of partnerships for YGG), and Howard Xu (co-founder of the Vietnam-based guild Ancient8).
