HackQuest will work with Solar and Solana Foundation to launch the Solana Founders Fellowship, which will be held during the Solana Radar Hackathon. The Fellowship will start on September 20 and end on October 12, with rolling registrations accepted during this period. The entire project will help participants get in-depth guidance in technology, financing, and ecological support through multiple closed-door office hours and workshops. The mentor team is composed of Solana Foundation members and top project founders in the ecosystem, including Backpack co-founder Can Sun, Jupiter co-founder Siong, Drift co-founder Cindy, STEPN CRO Mable, Sonic co-founder Chris, Jambo co-founder James, Solayer core contributor Jason, Colosseum APAC head Cris, and SOON co-founder Joanna. This Fellowship Program will select 20 teams in the Chinese-speaking region. It is reported that this is the second Founders Fellowship Program held in cooperation between HackQuest and Solana. In the first Fellowship, five teams won the Solana Global Hackathon Award, and many teams successfully obtained follow-up financing.
In addition, well-known investment institutions such as Coinfund, OKX Ventures, IOSG Ventures, Animoca Brands, SevenX Ventures, HashKey Capital, Find Satoshi Lab, Hash Global and Gate Ventures will participate in Demo Day to provide project support and feedback. Teams selected for the Fellowship will also have the opportunity to receive a Travel Grant and have priority to enter the Solana Hong Kong Founders House and participate in the subsequent Solana X HackQuest Founders Bootcamp.
