WHO WE ARE?
Kumeka is a Solana-native builders hub that helps early-stage teams turn ideas into scalable startups.
Through hackathons, bootcamps, mentorship, and grants, we support founders in launching, growing, and getting ready to raise.
This summer, as part of KUMEKATHON SZN, we’ll help you scale your Solana project.
Venture Launch is a Web3 accelerator and fundraising platform for early-stage teams building on Solana.
Our 8-week program combines mentorship, tokenomics, legal support, and milestone-based funding through DAO-style investor pools.
This summer, we’re backing the next wave of Solana startups—helping founders launch, grow, and raise with confidence.

How do I join the accelerator?1. If you’re a project from the Kumeka Team community and participated in KUMEKATHON, you don’t need to apply — we’ll reach out to you directly. We’re reviewing all hackathon submissions, speaking with teams, and inviting selected ones to Demo Day. After that, we’ll let you know if you’re accepted into the program. 2. If you’re not part of Kumeka Team, you can apply right here! We’ll review your project and reach out to the teams that match our criteria with an invite to join the program.
-
What’s the format and how does it work?It’s a hybrid program — most of the work happens online, but we’ll also host a few offline events at the Solana hub in Kyiv. Offline attendance isn’t mandatory, so you can fully participate remotely. What you get: • Weekly group check-ins • 1:1 mentorship sessions (once a week) • Demo Days & networking • Investor matchmaking + post-program support The full program runs for 8 weeks.
-
Does the program provide funding?Projects selected from KUMEKATHON will receive grants from Kumeka Team (if they haven’t received one before). All projects will have the opportunity to raise funding through our investor network after the program.
-
What happens after I apply?If your project is a fit, we’ll reach out within 2 weeks and invite you to pitch at the next Demo Day. After that, we’ll let you know if you’re accepted into the program.

Who are the mentors?You’ll be working with experts from Venture Launch, Solus Group, and BD Booster. We’ll also have guest mentors from the Solana ecosystem and specialists in fundraising. More details coming soon.
