Colosseum

Colosseum is an organization that integrates three pillars: Hackathon, Accelerator, and Venture Fund. Colosseum runs online hackathons for the Solana Foundation and the broader ecosystem. We believe these competitions are the best mechanism for attracting and discovering the most talented crypto builders globally. Our five week hackathon provides founding teams a level playing field to showcase their potential to build crypto startups that will change the world. Our accelerator is a five-week, online program designed for hackathon winners to become embedded in the Solana ecosystem, join an elite founder community, and receive 1:1 mentorship in jumpstarting their crypto projects. Founding teams accepted into the accelerator will receive an upfront investment of $250,000 from Colosseum. The accelerator program culminates with a private Demo Day where founders will pitch their products to top VCs.
