Newmoon: the first web3 design accelerator is launching for creators and founders

DUBAI - May 3, 2022 - Newmoon has launched an accelerator program out of the Dubai Design District, to provide 360-degree mentoring for startups entering web3 and building in the creative, gaming, and metaverse industries.

Web3 is a new version of the internet and it will redefine the way we live, shop, organize companies and much more. As web3 is sky-rocketting in development, many founders and creators are looking for a way to break into the field but are confronted with an array of challenges.

9 startups have been selected to the current cohort, which has already collectively raised more than 10m from the likes of Bitkraft Ventures, Paris Hilton, Meltem Demirors, Kevin Lin, Matthew Ball, RED DAO, LVMH Luxury Ventures and UNICEF.

“Community is everything in web3. As web3 is taking off, the industry needs to be inclusive to founder and creator talents launching new NFT and DAO models with their communities. We aim to simplify entering web3 with a unique program designed by experienced web3 pioneers and vertical experts for technical and non-technical teams,” says Trang Lê Bozon, a Partner at Newmoon Accelerator.

Newmoon Accelerator is run by Marina Atarova, Newmoon Partner,  formerly lead of Dream Assembly, the accelerator of the 2.3 billion dollar revenue luxury retail platform Farfetch Ltd.; alongside former lecturer at UCLA and serial founder Trang Lê Bozon, and Christoph Richter long-time startup mentor with two exits under his belt. 

Application for the next cohort is now open. The program is fully remote: www.newmoon.ac
