We just kicked off our newest batch AppWorks Accelerator #23 yesterday! Welcome to the 34 teams and 66 founders that are joining our founder community. This batch is one of the largest since we started focusing on founders working on AI, blockchain, and Southeast Asia, and we’re really excited by the diversity of the batch in terms of the founders’ experiences and the problems they are solving.
We’re still bullish about the opportunities in AI/IoT, Blockchain/NFT, and SEA. For AW#23, there are 12 AI / IoT related startups, 13 blockchain ones with 8 specifically focused on NFTs, and 9 targeting the Southeast Asia market. This batch is multicultural, with 16 nationalities represented. 21% of the founders are women and 45% are serial entrepreneurs.
We’re looking forward to getting to know these founders and teams better over the next few months. Keep an eye out for notifications about Demo Day later this year!
