Since 2017, BlockOn has been a driving force in the Asian blockchain space, empowering countless startups through its various initiatives, including acceleration programs, strategic investments, educational events, and community building. BlockOn’s commitment to fostering a thriving Web3 ecosystem is evident in its successful track record and impactful projects such as Malaysia Blockchain Week, India Blockchain Month, GLOBLA, Thai Blockchain Week, I Love RWA, IOV2055, Web3Preneur, Women,Web3Preneur, and the Blockchain Meets Industry 4.0 Conference, which saw the involvement of former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

Unlike traditional accelerator programs that primarily focus on mentorship and networking, the XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest program offers a unique advantage: up to $150,000 USD in milestones based funding opportunities. This substantial financial backing, combined with tailored acceleration, sets it apart as a truly exceptional program for ambitious Web3 startups.
“We are excited to partner with XDC Network to introduce XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest,” said Jagdish Pandya, Founder of BlockOn. “This program embodies our shared vision of empowering Web3 startups in Asia to reach their full potential and drive the next wave of blockchain innovation. Ritesh Kant will be spearheading this initiative, bringing his extensive experience to guide and mentor participating startups. We are also thrilled to already have two successful stories, Peerhive and Fandora as testament of the burgeoning cooperation and relationship between XDC and BlockOn.”
Aneri Merchant, Investment Manager at XVC Tech added, “This collaboration underscores our commitment to fostering a vibrant Web3 ecosystem. By supporting early-stage startups, we are investing in the future of blockchain technology and its transformative impact across industries.“
XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest is designed to provide startups with the resources they need to thrive. This includes tailored acceleration, significant investment from both BlockOn and Xinfin, regulatory support, XDC network integration, comprehensive guidance, token launch support, global network access, and hands-on venture building with access to Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs). We are actively identifying promising early-stage startups through our Web3preneur event series, a powerful lead generation platform. Apart from funding,
XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest provides comprehensive support across six key areas: growth, partnerships, revenue generation, development, fundraising, and grants. The program will also facilitate demo days with an exclusive opportunity to pitch to Web3 VCs to receive funding.
XDC Web3Preneur AccInvest will be open to startups meeting specific eligibility criteria, including having a launched MVP and an incorporated entity. Further details about the program and application process will be released soon.
