Cohort 1 · Applications Open
Build the next breakout agentic product on Minds.
Animoca Minds is launching an accelerator for technical founders and AI-native builders. Selected teams get direct platform support, privileged access to build workflows, and funding consideration up to US$250,000.
Backed by
Animoca Brands — global leader in digital entertainment, blockchain, and the open metaverse
Why this exists
The agentic stack is maturing. Most builders are still behind.
Minds is designed to let builders create minds, skills, tools, and apps that can become real products — not just demos. The platform offers usage-driven monetization, agent orchestration, and a composable infrastructure that most builders haven't fully leveraged yet.
The accelerator exists to help a small number of strong teams move faster, build deeper, and reach the market with conviction. We provide structure, support, and capital where it matters.
What you get
Built for builders who want more than credits.
Priority platform access
Direct access to Minds product and DevRel support. No queue.
Build credits
Technical enablement and credits to ship without friction.
Direct feedback loops
Regular reviews and a direct line to the core team.
Animoca visibility
Exposure through Animoca channels and the broader network.
Demo Day
Present to investors, partners, and the Animoca Brands ecosystem.
Funding up to US$250K
Top teams are eligible for funding consideration. Not a grant — real capital.
Who should apply
We're looking for serious builders.
- Technical founders
- Senior engineers
- AI-native product builders
- Solo founders and small teams (1–4 people)
- Domain experts with strong shipping ability
What we want to see

Value path
A believable path to monetization and venture-scale upside.
