The founder of Polygon – Sandeep Nailwal – has assembled a team of founders gathered from the entire Web3 ecosystem – and has launched a startup accelerator to power the future growth of the nascent industry.

“You often hear that building a web2 startup is like ‘running a marathon’ and that web3 founders need to be sprinters. That’s the wrong way to think about it. Web3 founding is an altogether different sport. It’s not running, it’s like skiing. At Beacon, we know you can’t follow the same web2 playbook to be successful in web3. Through weekly sessions and hands-on mentoring, we’re teaching our founders how to ski – marketing is different, community building is different, launching a project is different. Founding in web3 is a different animal and we’re helping our founders navigate this new landscape.”
