Program details
How the accelerator works.
Minds Accelerator is a cohort-based founder program for teams building agentic products on the Minds platform. It's designed for builders who want more than credits or a grant.
Program structure
Five phases, one sprint.
Phase 1
Application

Applications are reviewed by the core team. Shortlisted teams may be invited for interviews. Decisions are communicated directly.
Phase 3
Cohort kickoff

Accepted teams join the cohort and receive onboarding, technical guidance, and build credits. The clock starts here.

8–12 weeks

Funding
Up to US$250,000.
