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 network
Co-marketing, press coverage, and introductions across 600+ portfolio companies in gaming, AI, and fintech — with investor relationships spanning HK, Singapore, and Taipei. Funded teams become full Animoca Brands portfolio companies.
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
Platform depth
Products that use Minds as core infrastructure, not as a thin wrapper.
Real user pain
Clear problem and strong execution — not a demo looking for a use case.
Speed
Evidence that the team can move quickly and ship.
Value path
A believable path to monetization and venture-scale upside.
Evaluating whether Minds fits your idea?
The optional build track walks you through the platform in four stages — understand the primitives, explore Bazaar, try a tutorial, and define your build brief. Apply directly if you're already ready.
Optional — not required to apply
Example build areas
What gets built on Minds.
Knowledge-to-skill converter
Turn internal docs, Slack history, or a codebase into a queryable agent. Institutional memory that actually answers questions.
Usage-based creator tool
Let creators monetise their knowledge as an agent charged per query — usage-driven revenue without a subscription model.
Domain-specific copilot
Expert AI for law, medicine, finance, or any specialised vertical. Deep context, built for practitioners.
Sales and workflow agent
Automate prospecting, qualification, and follow-up. An agent that works your pipeline while you build.
Team workflow orchestrator
Multi-step agent that routes, delegates, and tracks work across a team autonomously.
Vertical service automation
End-to-end task completion for a specific professional domain — from intake to output, minimal human intervention.
