“Alliance's support was critical for Pump to find product-market fit.

The mentors were extremely helpful, even before the program began.

Whether by brainstorming new ideas, walking through problems, or making intros,
it was always helpful to get their advice”.

Alon, Pump

“The community is amazing. We love it.

We created so many meaningful relationships with the smartest builders in the
space.

Alliance also helped us – both highly technical engineers – learn more about the
‘Fi’ aspect of ‘DeFi’ and turn Zerion into a much better product”.

Evgeny Yurtaev, Zerion

“Instrumental for our success, has increased our progress by over tenfold.

Mentors are extremely generous with their time and are able to introduce us to
almost anyone we need in crypto.

Working with them was the best decision we've ever made as a crypto startup”.

Morris Hsieh, Primodium

“An incredibly well-run program.

Alliance has been a massive value-add to us across all business functions,
including go-to-market, strategy and recruiting.

Highly recommend to all Web3 founders”.

Matthew Katz, Caldera

HOW TO APPLY




FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHEN DOES THE PROGRAM START?


ALL14, our next cohort, starts on February 12, 2025.


DOES THE PROGRAM PROVIDE FUNDING?


Yes, we offer $350k in funding through two investment tracks:
‍
→ Early Stage (Standard Deal): For companies that haven't launched yet or have
been working on their current idea for less than 6 months, we invest at a $5M
post-money valuation.

→ Later Stage (Flexible Terms): For companies with strong traction or that are
currently raising a multi-million dollar round, we'll typically follow the same
terms as other investors.

Most teams going through our program fall under the Standard Deal.


I NEED FUNDING NOW, I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT COHORT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?


If you'd like to take advantage of Alliance's funding but your fundraise
timeline doesn't match the next cohort, don't worry. We've often supported
startups by funding them before they're accelerated.

Just submit your application as you normally would. We review applications all
year long and will invite you to an early interview if your startup meets
Alliance's criteria.


IF ACCEPTED, WHEN WILL I RECEIVE FUNDING?


Once you’re accepted into the program, we immediately start the investment and
KYC process. For most teams, this takes less than a week.

After paperwork is signed, KYC is completed, and payment details are verified,
we wire funds. This typically takes 1 to 2 weeks and happens before the program
starts.


IS THE PROGRAM REMOTE?


The program is mostly remote, with the exception of its first 4 weeks, when we
gather in-person.

We also often host in-person social events during prominent crypto conferences –
where our founders have the opportunity to meet and connect with their peers –,
but these are entirely optional.


DO I NEED TO BE IN A SPECIFIC LOCATION TO APPLY?


No. Alliance startups have historically come from all over the world.

However, we do expect you to join our in-person orientation (the program's first
4 weeks). There we'll onboard you onto our community and you'll meet mentors as
well as fellow cohort founders.

Afterward the program will continue remotely. Our sessions are typically 11 am
Eastern Time to best serve global participants.


HOW LONG IS THE PROGRAM?


The program lasts 3 months.

Teams must dedicate at least 10 hours per week between sessions and mentorship.

Historically, however, our most successful founders go much further and strive
to maximize the time spent on lectures, with mentors, and – in the latter half
of the program – preparing for Demo Day.


WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS AFTER I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION?


After you apply to the program, mentors will start reviewing your application.
This process usually takes multiple weeks.

Our admissions team will then invite ad hoc the most promising teams for a
“Round 1” interview over Zoom. This will consist of a 20 minute fast-paced
conversation with one of Alliance's mentors (with guidelines shared before the
interview).

About 1/3 of teams proceed to a “Round 2” interview, our final step of the
process. Differently from the previous interview, this call will instead last 30
minutes and have two new, different mentors in the call.

Final decisions are communicated over email. These vary based on the cycle the
team has applied to (i.e. “Early Admission” and “Regular Admission” decisions
are communicated at different times). Decisions' due dates are available on the
application page.

Note that due to the sheer number of applications and interviews, mentors are
unfortunately not able to give personalized feedback to teams that are not
selected.
