Frequently asked questions.

Technical founders, engineers, and small teams building agentic products with real product potential. We prioritize builders over pitch decks.

Yes. Solo founders are welcome. The strongest applications show that one person can cover the core technical and product surface — or explain why a co-founder is coming.

No. You do not need a polished product or company. You do need a strong build thesis, a clear product vision, and evidence that you can execute under real constraints.

No. All accepted teams receive platform support, credits, and program access. The strongest teams may be considered for follow-on capital up to US$250,000, subject to internal investment process.

Not exclusively, but Minds should be central to the product — not a peripheral integration. The more native your use of Minds primitives, the stronger your application will be.

The program is remote-first. There may be optional in-person sessions depending on cohort geography. Demo Day format will be confirmed before cohort kickoff.

You may still build using interim pathways such as AgentMail and the documented builder workflows. The accelerator team will provide guidance on the best available path at the time of your build sprint.

Products where Minds is core to the user experience, workflow orchestration, or monetization model. If your product could be built just as well without Minds, it's probably not the right fit — and we'll tell you that honestly.

The build sprint runs 8–12 weeks from cohort kickoff. Demo Day follows at the end. Follow-on support is available for the strongest teams beyond the formal program.

Cohort 1 is targeting a July 2025 kickoff. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — apply early for the best chance of early review.

The core Animoca Minds team reviews every application. Shortlisted teams are invited for a 30-minute call. Final decisions are communicated directly — we do not send mass rejection emails.

No. There is no fee to apply or to join the program.
