“The Apollo and 0G team gets genuinely hands-on. We received detailed feedback across product, GTM, and fundraising, not just high-level advice. The program's partner network provided support at every step, and 0G actively introduced investors to our team throughout.”
Apollo, the AI Accelerator
Powered by 0G and Stanford Builders
0G Apollo is an exclusive builder program supported by xBuilders (led by Stanford veterans) for developers and protocols building on the world's first decentralized AI data network.
The Premier AI Accelerator
xBuilders, led by pioneers from Stanford, partners with 0G to bring you an intensive program designed to help founders build, launch, and scale projects with 0G infrastructure. Get hands-on support from industry experts and access to a world-class network, including the Stanford community.

What Cohort 1 founders say
“What I appreciated about the Apollo program was the range of exceptional people around the program, from the xBuilders team to mentors from Google and other companies and funds we have been introduced to. The program gave us great opportunities to present at events, while the 0G team has been amazing in organizing the program and are really supportive well after Demo Day!”
“The Apollo mentors have been excellent on GTM, and the events the team organized generated real client leads for us. This is exactly what you want from a program.”
“Apollo gave us strong support from its mentors, and the 0G team went even further — they use our product at their own events. For a company building a professional network for agents, being embedded in this ecosystem is exactly the right place to grow.”
“The Apollo mentors are expert in the places every startup needs, multiple deep-dive calls working through product market fit, fundraising, networking and much more. That kind of sustained, substantive help is uniquely Apollo Accelerator.”

Floe Labs
“Credit for AI agents.”
Every economy runs on credit; the agent economy doesn't have any yet. Agent operators pre-fund wallets with a 60–70% capital drag. Floe turns agents' on-chain cashflows and chain-of-thought into credit, enforces spend limits via smart contracts, and streams repayments atomically from each x402 receipt.
