We are an accelerator and incubator based in the heart of Silicon Valley, led and run by women, aiming to lead the next 1000 web3/AI unicorns. With our international reach, combined with our deep roots in the fast-paced Silicon Valley start up scene, we aim to empower diversity and bring together founders from varying backgrounds. We are built to accelerate and incubate startups, provide mentorship, plus, training for professional development in the web3 and AI industries. Think Y-Combinator, Masterclass, and Udemy all wrapped in one - that’s GAIA Labs. We understand that there is a lack of diverse representation in the tech industry - and web 3 and blockchain are no exception. We know that the knowledge gap hinders further adoption and that the network of individuals and teams can make or break their blockchain journey. We bring our accumulated years of experience to provide upskill professional development for our community in topics including DAOS, NFT, tokenomics and token utility, as well as basic smart contract know-how. GAIA Labs is built for early-stage entrepreneurs, founders looking to scale, angel investors and VCs, and executives seeking guidance. Through co-hort based programs, GAIA Labs will provide mentorship, training, and opportunities to participate in valuable workshops as well as hackathons and workshops. Successful applicants have the chance to receive financial support from GAIA Labs in the form of DAO grants, bounty programs, and funding. GAIA Labs is supported by tech giants and industry leaders alike, including Google, AWS, Meta, Animoca Brands, Yuga Labs, The Sandbox, Binance, Solana and more. GAIA Labs has partnered with top tertiary institutions, including Stanford University, Harvard University, University of Berkeley, Yale, MIT, University of Southern California, Wharton, University of Cambridge, UCL, the University of Hong Kong, and more to come.
