LCF Spring 2022 — Applications opening & first Partners reveal

6 months in, Le Crypto Fellowship is a blazing success

In September 2021, Frst (French seed-specialist VC) and Fabric Ventures (European Web3 VC) joined forces to create Le Crypto Fellowship. The program provided 10 ambitious tech-friendly people with the money (€100k each), guidance and network they needed to learn & experiment around web3 with a free spirit, and to push them to build a product.

Six months later, almost all fellows have a very clear view of what they want to bring to the world. Several are already live, serving users and hiring, and in discussions with Tier 1 investors for their next round:

Mazury.xyz: where web3 careers start. It’s a web3 professional reputation platform. Collect badges & referrals to get jobs at the coolest startups & DAOs — Built by Wojtek

Briq.construction: a NFT composability system based on fundamental elements called briqs that can be combined to create more complex structures. One the first games building on Starknet and received a grant from Starkware — Built by Sylve & Lancelot

Narval: a marketplace for lending & borrowing productive gaming NFTs — Built by Gregory

Trustblock: a decentralized marketplace that handles the entire audit delivery flow between auditors and clients through not-owned & autonomous smart contracts — Built by Sacha

and many more cool products in stealth mode 👀

Calling in the Partners cavalry

In pure startup style, we started small and crafty and shipped early: Our mentors for Season 1 were people from Frst (Pierre), Fabric (Max Guillaume and Fynn), and Jeddi.

For Season 2, we will be joined by two dozens of Partners: Top founders and operators from Tier 1 web3 organizations, willing to share their time, expertise and networks on a weekly basis with 1 or 2 fellows.

Here are the first thirteen:

• Brian O’hagan: Growth Lead — Sorare
• Charles Hamel: VP product — Ledger

We already shook hands with several others whose names will be shared over the next days, but kept a dozen of slots open for applicants we don’t know already.

If you feel you are the right fit for a Partner position, apply here!

(PS1: CEOs love us, don’t worry. We will be happy to explain him/her why it’s a great idea to allow you to participate! PS2: We know you value money less than equity, so there is no money but a lot of equity involved!)
