Meet Immutable Cohort 3
The Atlanta Blockchain Center and W3 Studio host diverse founders building Crypto and web3 startups here in Atlanta in our Immutable incubator program. Our goal is to find innovative projects and talent to help develop, execute and scale their ideas. The program is built around ten in-person education classes. Founders are then matched with mentors to help accelerate growth.
The third cohort graduated in the fourth quarter of 2023, and we wanted to share them with you here.
