Introducing Colosseum Accelerator Cohort 2

We are excited to unveil Colosseum's second accelerator cohort. The batch is composed of founders from the recent Solana Radar Hackathon. 1,359 teams submitted products in the competition, with 39 of them awarded prizes by the judges.

From the pool of winners, Colosseum selected 13 startups to invest in and accept into the accelerator program. We believe each of these startups has exhibited the technical talent, speed, vision, and competitive drive required to build successful, enduring products that will significantly grow the Solana ecosystem and broader onchain economy.

In no particular order, the following startups will be joining Colosseum Cohort 2:

GreenKWh (Formerly Svachsakthi)

GreenKWh is an off-grid DePIN network for promoting decentralized renewable energy while load balancing the grid during peak usage.

AlphaFC

AlphaFC gives football fans real stake in their favorite clubs through tokens that allow them to participate in key decisions like scouting, trades, and team management.

Darklake (Formerly Blackpool)

Darklake is bringing Wall Street efficiency to DeFi with lightning-fast, private, and MEV-resistant trades leveraging privacy-preserving execution powered by ZKPs.

Supersize

Supersize is an io style game that enables players to experience real-time, fully on-chain, high stakes multiplayer gaming.

Tokamai

Tokamai catches development errors before your users do through real-time monitoring and alerting for Solana programs.

Txtx

Txtx takes away the stress and complexity of onchain infrastructure management with secure, robust, and reproducible blocks of code called Runbooks.

Reflect Protocol

Reflect is a DeFi protocol that powers a novel hedge-backed, delta-neutral stablecoin on Solana.

Hylo is building a new yield-bearing DeFi protocol that enables an autonomous, dual-token stablecoin system backed by Solana LSTs.

Trenches.top

Trenches.top is a platform to tokenize the reputation of alpha callers on Solana, unlocking new forms of competition and social speculation, while rewarding the most deserving callers.

AdX

AdX is a next generation decentralized ad exchange and network, built to enable realtime (encrypted blind auction) bidding to serve targeted digital ads.

Watt Protocol

Watt is a volatility farming protocol that uses natural market arbitrage to generate real yield for users and foster liquidity for assets in the ecosystem.

Over the 8 week program, these founders will progress from devnet to mainnet as they continue to iterate, test, and refine their products. The program will culminate in a private demo day for investors across the venture ecosystem. Shortly after, we will release a recording of the event for the broader crypto community.

Congrats and welcome to Colosseum’s founder community!
