A Kenyan digital assets startup, Crypsense Digital Group, has been selected for the 2022 Draper VeChain Web 3 Accelerator Programme which will grant it access to mentorship and support.
The 12-week Web 3 Accelerator Programme which is designed to deliver high-growth blockchain companies, is run by Draper University, a leading pre-accelerator and incubator in Silicon Valley, California, USA, and fosters growth of high potential technology startups.
The programme was founded by Timothy Cook Draper, a top tier venture capital investor with the likes of Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, Coinbase, Skype, and Baidu among his investments.
The Nairobi-based digital assets capacity building and management platform, a brainchild of The Africa Blockchain Centre, and one of the startups at Adanian Labs, a venture studio, was established to nurture, and scale 300 impact-driven tech startups across Africa, according to Disrupt Africa.
“This is an amazing opportunity to accelerate Web 3 adoption in Africa through the programme and partnerships.
“We have so much untapped talent and potential within our continent in blockchain and Web 3.
“I am excited for Africa and I can’t wait to see where this opportunity takes us,” Alice Anangi, co-founder and CEO of Crypsense Digital Group, said on Friday.
