About

Open Web Collective (OWC) is a venture capital firm and accelerator that focuses on supporting early-stage Web3 startups. Initially spun out of NEAR Protocol, OWC offers a comprehensive 12-week accelerator program aimed at pre-seed and seed-stage blockchain companies. Their accelerator helps founders validate and de-risk their ideas by providing key guidance on product-market fit, tokenomics, fundraising, and legal regulations. Each cohort of startups receives a $150,000 investment in exchange for equity or token stakes, with the potential for further funding. OWC Ventures, launched in 2022, expands OWC's mission by investing strategically in blockchain and Web3 startups from pre-seed to Series A. The firm has partnered with leading investors and Web3 companies, including Digital Currency Group. Since its inception, OWC has supported over 26 startups that have collectively raised over $360 million, including well-known projects like 1inch, NYM Tech, and Upshot. Led by founder Mildred Idada and Partner Jeff Lavoie, OWC not only provides capital but also mentorship and access to a network of more than 300 active investors. Their goal is to help founders scale disruptive technologies that can shape the future of Web3.
