Exponential Science (ES) has unveiled the ES Accelerator, a new founder-focused programme designed to propel early-stage companies leveraging exponential technologies, including distributed ledger technology (DLT), artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. The accelerator aims to support ambitious founders building the infrastructure for a more equitable and open future.
Launching globally, the ES Accelerator is powered by venture builder H-FARM, which will provide strategic operational expertise, ensuring that selected startups receive structured, high-quality support essential for scaling deep-tech ventures.
Accepted companies will receive an initial equity investment, dedicated mentorship and immediate access to Exponential Science’s vast ecosystem, which includes the MiCA Crypto Alliance, Nodiens and the Hedera ecosystem. Nikhil Vadgama, Director at Exponential Science, commented on the vision behind the launch:
‘The most transformative companies emerge at the intersection of breakthrough technology and urgent global needs. The ES Accelerator is designed to identify and support those rare teams with the vision, expertise, and determination to build the infrastructure for the next phase of human progress.’
The programme targets pre-seed and seed-stage companies led by teams with profound technical or domain expertise. Ideal candidates are those who have demonstrated a working prototype or Minimum Viable Product (MVP), possess a clear global vision for tackling major problems, and are developing proprietary intellectual property for long-term defensibility.
The ES Accelerator Programme provides structured support through intensive workshops complemented by dedicated one-to-one mentorship sessions from experts in fields spanning blockchain, AI and governance. This cohort-based approach ensures collaboration and grants access to Exponential Science’s extensive ecosystem of partners and academic institutions, reinforcing the organisation's commitment to backing founders who are building the critical infrastructure and applications for the next wave of global innovation.
The ES Accelerator reinforces Exponential Science’s commitment to funding the infrastructure and applications that will define the next generation of global innovation.
