January 10, 2023

Mintlayer is proud to announce our partnership with Metaverse 4 Finance, dpixel and Sella Group’s venture incubator.

Over the last 10 years, dpixel has worked with thousands of startups and helped generate over €36M in investment for startups. Sella operates the largest Italian private and independent banking group, with 5,000 employees, 450 years of history and is present in 7 countries.

Mintlayer is a scale up partner for the Metaverse 4 Finance event. Our team will help select the startups that are chosen, and will offer grants and mentorship to the winners.

There were 117 projects from 26 different countries nominated to take part in the Metaverse 4 Finance event. This partnership is a noteworthy step for Mintlayer to work with early stage projects to help them join the ecosystem.

Metaverse 4 Finance Accelerator

Metaverse 4 Finance will last 16 weeks and is divided into four phases. The partners will select 5 startups at the end, each receiving €100K investment.

Winners will benefit for over 4 months from the support of the network of partners (including Anubi Digital, Credem, Mintlayer, OGR Torino and Young Platform), and the mentorship of dpixel.

We are excited to join the ranks of many inspirational companies in this program. Our vision to accelerate the future of finance starts here, with innovative builders working on the front lines.
