Description
Starting a new blockchain business? You don’t have to go it alone.
Block Dojo is an in-person incubator in London. We run a 12-week programme for early-stage start-ups looking to leverage the power of blockchain.
In Europe, 50% of startups fail in the first three years*. Evidence shows joining an incubator or accelerator increases your chances of success and shortens the time to reach your seed and series A funding rounds.
The Dojo surrounds you with a team of successful and seasoned entrepreneurs to help you avoid the many pitfalls and barriers to success.
We also provide access to our ecosystem of 3,000+ angel and venture capital investors, 130 mentors, blockchain developers and vast connections to potential clients across many industries.
Block Dojo is the UK’s top blockchain incubator having secured 24% of all UK blockchain funding rounds in 2022 (Beauhurst).
We are looking for pre-revenue start-ups in the blockchain space to partner with us. We offer the following :
- £10K upon joining the programme to cover 3 months of living expenses in London
- £100K in services, support, and mentoring provided throughout the 12-week programme
- 100 hours of developer time to help build your prototype / MVP
- We aim to raise £150K in pre-seed investment from our angel and VC network to help you achieve your first milestones

- You will gain access to our network of 130+ mentors and 3,500+ angel investors / VCs
- £100k in Google Cloud credits and £10k AWS cloud credits

We are looking for founders who have one or more of the following attributes :
- Have lived through the problems they are aiming to solve with their business and technology, with a deep understanding of their customer's needs and how to make change happen
- Deep expertise in your field of work, be it in research or a specific industry
- Desire to collaborate and learn from our mentors and team and not afraid to pivot if research and customer feedback points you in another direction
- Entrepreneurial mindset motivation and tenacity to thrive and achieve, ability to iterate quickly, deliver outputs, learn and adapt fast.
And above all, the tenacity to succeed.
We are interested in hearing from those with a technical or commercial background. You can be a sole founder or a small team.
