Heading to the Summit!

Celo Camp presents the Startup Pathway program — a new 6-weeks track to support entrepreneurs entering the Celo ecosystem.

The Startup Pathway guides teams through entrepreneurial milestones as they work independently on building their startup along the program’s growth pathway. The program includes topics such as user research, UX, building and integrating to Celo and the art of the pitch. Learning resources, networking opportunities, and live sessions with Celo developers will be waiting for you along the journey. Teams will also have the opportunity to win rewards and one team will also win a spot to pitch in front of investors, mentors, and the community at the Celo Camp Demo Day.

  • Launch your venture on Celo, create a fully working dApp on the Celo blockchain and commit your first transactions on the network. By the end of the program your MVP will be ready to market!
  • Win rewards in Celo Gold: Complete 10 deliverables, grow your web3 ventures and earn a reward of 100 Celo.
  • Celo Foundation Grant Program: Your completed team page will also be reviewed by the Celo Foundation grant’s team.

⭐️ Community Award — One team whose community contributions shine on (1) active contributions on our Discord channels and (2) assisting other team members will win 100 Celo.

⭐️ Mission Award — One team whose mission aligns the most with Celo’s mission of creating the conditions of prosperity for everyone will win 100 Celo.

The Startup Pathway program was soft launched last March with 14 teams. Here are some of their thoughts about their journey:

“Celo’s Startup Pathway provided a holistic, well-structured approach in helping us develop our product from start to end. The program was detailed and provided us with everything that we needed every step of the way.” — The Offset-Go Team

“Celo’s Pathway Camp has an 8 vital step formula that includes technology, pitch decks, pitches in front of critiques and compliments, all which prepare startups to be functional, present to investors and integrated into their great community.” — Jordan Gitterman, IOU
