We wrapped up @Colosseum Accelerator Cohort 5. Here’s what we actually got from them firsthand, from before the accelerator ～ after Demo Day. Before Colosseum: Flovia @Flovia402 started as a new company at the Colosseum Hackathon back in April. We had a 1-month sprint, sharing progress every week, which really helped create the urgency to ship smth every single day. Even tho we ended up winning, I’d say the sprint itself mattered more than the one-off submission or result. (from exp having won 20+ hackathons before) During the accelerator: A few things to touch on. 1. The intro support was strong. Each person on the Colosseum team has their own strong network and great relationships w/ people in it. A lot of their intros literally ended up becoming our customers. 2. P2P distance among founders matters. Being a founder can get lonely sometimes. Having other founders close by matters more than ppl expect. It’s also great stimulation seeing the ppl next to you keep making progress. Cohort 5 had a lot of great folks. 3. The in-person office actually matters. I literally slept on the office couch more times than I can count lol. Having a place where you can just laser-focus on the company was super valuable. (p.s. SF rent being crazy def makes the office even more valuable lol.) After Demo Day: The team kept supporting us individually after Demo Day, even on personal stuff. Overall, if you’re seriously trying to build a startup from nothing, esp in crypto, I’d vouch for Colosseum. Best thing we can do in return is make our startup succeed. KEEP MOVING no matter what.

Really happy to be at @Colosseum, this place is incredibly inspiring. the builders, energy, atmosphere everything around you pushes you to keep going, ship your ideas, and try to make them real being here made me realize that Colosseum is no longer just about startup competitions it’s about the people you meet, the friends you make, the ideas you exchange, and the inspiration you take back with you if you ever get the chance to experience it - do it! you’ll not regret.

alpha alert building in @colosseum? use its copilot to think through ideas, review your project and ship. it also integrates with @framesag, so your research doesn’t stop at the open web. we have the largest catalog of paid data for agents, and the free plan covers ~300 paid requests. i’m also happy to sponsor free Ultra access for teams building something great. show me what you’re working on.

Copilot is also incredibly useful past the ideation stage, I just compared launch strategies to over 8k projects to gain evidence what worked and what didn't.

CoPilot v2 is insanely good. All credit to @mxmnci who has treated this as his baby, and added so much polish with this version. The improvements here make it such a cheat code navigating the idea maze before building anything onchain.

~333 transactions a day happening on Laso Finance. Every 5 minutes, someone in the world uses a Laso product.

was asked to share the @colosseum view of AI's impact on the @solana startup ecosystem and this chart tells the story better than any anecdote... since 2024, average team size has decreased from over 2.5 to 1.6 while submission volume nearly 3x'd the upshot? more companies, smaller teams. (maybe approaching <1?) higher.
