Our Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 program kicks off this week in New York City, and today I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join this cohort. Over the next eight weeks, they’ll gain firsthand insights from top crypto founders, receive mentorship and support from the a16z crypto investment and operating teams, and build connections with each other and the broader a16z network.
The CSX Fall 2024 companies come from 11 different countries and regions, traveling to New York from: Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Japan, Poland, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States (including Puerto Rico). They’re building across every layer of the crypto stack, including AI, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer applications such as photo sharing and mapping.
