How do the programs work together?

They’re designed as a progression (though not a guaranteed pathway):

• Validate → Test whether an opportunity is real
• Accelerate → Sharpen execution and traction
• Onboard → Move proven products into Bitcoin
• Scale → Drive breakout growth

Some founders may skip programs based on their stage. Others may move between them over time.

Do I have to complete Validate before Accelerate?

No. Programs are independent. If you’re already at Seed stage with proven traction, you can apply directly to Accelerate.

Can I do Onboard and Accelerate at the same time?

Unlikely. Onboard is for teams expanding existing products into Stacks. Accelerate is for founders building on Stacks from the start. If you’re unclear about fit, let us know.

If I’m rejected from one program, can I apply to another?

Yes. Different programs have different criteria. A rejection from one program doesn’t mean you won’t be a good fit for another.
