Sui Foundation’s official accelerator, offering hands-on support, mentorship, and connections to capital. No equity is taken up front for joining the program. We know fundraising can be one of the toughest parts of building.

That’s why we focus on connecting serious founders with meaningful, long-term support - not grants. If you're doing research that pushes forward the science or security of blockchain tech, you can apply for the $25k research award through this program.
