METARISE

METARISE is a community-owned web3 accelerator and venture fund, on a mission to find, develop, and fund web3 talent and projects all over the world - with a special focus on unlocking the potential of emerging markets. METARISE was spun out of Collective Campus, an innovation and startup accelerator established in 2015 and incorporated in both Australia and Singapore with clients all over the globe. Collective Campus was founded by Steve Glaveski - Harvard Business Review writer and published Wiley author on the future of work. Since running its first startup accelerator in 2017, Collective Campus identified and nurtured 90 early-stage startups through its corporate startup accelerator and partnership programs, having assessed applications from over 3,000 startups across the globe. 75 of these 90 startups are still active, and 22 have subsequently gone on to raise a collective US$185million, at an approximate combined valuation of US$1 billion. We’ve also developed and delivered more than 200 live workshops to over 150 companies and 10,000 people on topics related to early-stage innovation and startup development, all over the world, generating US$5 million in revenue along the way. Collective Campus’ efforts have been acknowledged on several occasions by the Australian Department of Infrastructure and Innovation, rewarding it with AUD$1 million worth of grant funding to support its startup ecosystem development efforts in the country. Collective Campus has also been an active startup ecosystem development partner of the Korean government, having run the Australian and New Zealand leg of its K-Startup program on three occasions.
