Apollo, the AI Accelerator

The program is designed for ambitious Web3 founders and builders creating revenue-generating decentralized AI applications and infrastructure. It targets teams working on areas like AI agents, DeFi + AI solutions, on-chain data markets, cross-chain infrastructure, gaming/NFTs with AI, decentralized content applications, or any innovative projects that can launch and scale on the 0G protocol. It’s ideal for early-stage to growth-stage teams ready to build, integrate with 0G’s ultra-fast decentralized AI chain, and achieve product-market fit (PMF) and go-to-market (GTM) traction. Only 10 teams will be selected globally for this intensive cohort.

Blockchain Builders Fund (BBF) is the organization behind Stanford University’s blockchain ecosystem. BBF consists of Stanford blockchain veterans and pioneers who have built Stanford’s blockchain education, acceleration, and community programs. They partner with 0G to deliver expert mentorship, structured programming, and Silicon Valley-style startup support in the Apollo Accelerator.

Teams actively building decentralized AI projects with potential for revenue generation, and teams available for the 10-week program.

No strict exclusivity is required upfront, but the program is built around helping teams launch and scale on the 0G protocol. Accepted teams receive deep integration support, technical mentorship from 0G engineers, and incentives tied to building/deploying on 0G (e.g., funding calibrated to roadmap and traction on the network). It’s not a lock-in, but the value—funding, credits, tools, and mentorship—is heavily geared toward projects that commit to and succeed on 0G. Multi-chain or hybrid approaches may be considered if they meaningfully leverage 0G’s strengths (speed, decentralization for AI).

The 10-week program is primarily remote, except for an in-person Demo Day towards the end of the program.
