Apex Growth Accelerator is wrapping up week 2. Week 1 alone: the cohort raced around SF, brought in $4,000 in a sales challenge (the most of any team), pitched for feedback ahead of Demo Day and finished with a survival experience alongside @TimDraper that founders called “life are Genesis alumni, back for the next stage.

8 weeks to go with @draper_u and @Cardano_CF.

The first Cardano PRIME cohort is here.

Nine teams, funded to close the biggest gaps in @Cardano DeFi: DEXs, lending, bridges, vaults, real-world assets, and the audits that keep all of it safe.

Here’s who’s building what ↓

@NicolasC3rnyp@totofinance the copper for 18–24 months before liquidation, with net sale proceeds and unused or unearned funds due back to the Treasury by month 36.
But returning the proceeds does not guarantee recovery of the original ₳22 million. Copper prices, ADA/USD movements, operating costs, custody arrangements, and bridge security all affect the financial risk.
We'll explore what safeguards, milestones, and measurable outcomes are needed to determine whether the proposal offers sufficient accountability and lasting value for Cardano.
