Introducing the Icetea Labs accelerator program
1.WHAT IS THE ICETEA LABS ACCELERATOR PROGRAM?
Icetea Labs Accelerator Program (ILAP) is the 08-week accelerator program that helps Web3 Startups in product/market fit, expansion, and growth. Our focus for this batch is NFT utilities, GameFi, Metaverse solutions, and beyond.
ILAP is powered by Icetea Labs - the resourceful and robust blockchain ecosystem trusted by top-notch global partners and clients.

Over years experienced in blockchain, Icetea Labs has been incubating 40+ Web3 startups.
2. WHO SHOULD JOIN ILAP?
ILAP is open for any Web3 Startup whose product or service relates to gaming, metaverse, or NFT utilities. Startups at all stages benefit from the contents of ILAP. Early product startups with MVP will benefit most because we can help with technical, ecosystem network, security, business model, and go-to-market strategy. While the later stages project will enjoy advice mostly on marketing, community building, traction growth, funding, and tokenomics.
It doesn’t matter where you come from. What world you’re building that counts.
