Eligible projects will have the opportunity to receive up to US$100,000 in Google Cloud credits under the Google for Startups Cloud Program. Furthering support in the Web3 space, Aptos Foundation’s milestone-based funding program will provide these projects up to US$50,000 in Aptos Build credits. In addition to these credits, selected projects will receive a funded Proof-of-Concept (POC) developed in collaboration with our official Web3 consultant - Cloud Ace Vietnam. 

Startups will also receive mentorship and technical support from the co-hosts, including guidance on how to on-chain on Aptos.

The selection process will rigorously evaluate over 60 registered projects to identify startups demonstrating strong traction, ideally at the Seed to Series A stage, and focusing on web3-related technologies including AI, DePIN, DeFi, SocialFI, RWA, GameFI, NFT and more. Selected teams must show commitment from founders and C-level roles to participate and engage in program sessions. We will deeply prioritize startups that are building a scalable product or service with a significant total addressable market and defensible growth model, and technical startups leveraging Cloud or AI/ML in their product, service, or operations and have sustainability expertise.

Now, we’re incredibly proud to announce the 21 Web3 & AI startups to receive the guidance and support from our hosts, each demonstrating a unique vision for leveraging AI to address critical challenges and opportunities on the Launching Day of the Vietnam Web3 Leader Fellowship Program.
