Chiliz - HyperNest Partnership

HyperNest is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Chiliz, the leading blockchain ecosystem dedicated exclusively to sports and entertainment. Together, we’re launching the HyperNest & Chiliz Bootcamp Program—a dynamic initiative designed to nurture and accelerate the growth of innovative Web3 startups focused on sports, fan engagement, and digital entertainment.

Through this strategic alliance, Chiliz will leverage HyperNest’s specialized Web3 accelerator capabilities by launching a uniquely designed bootcamp. HyperNest will provide comprehensive mentoring, technical guidance, and ecosystem support to selected promising startups. This partnership strategically integrates Chiliz’s advanced blockchain resources with HyperNest’s established acceleration framework, generating substantial opportunities for the Web3 sports ecosystem.

Opportunities for Builders

Selected startups will have the opportunity to participate directly in HyperNest’s exclusive 3-month structured acceleration program. Participants will benefit from dedicated mentorship, access to our extensive network of 50+ crypto VCs (including Gumi Cryptos, Chorus One Ventures, Lemniscap, Greenfield Capital), angel investors, affiliated investment DAOs, and strategic operational support from the Chiliz ecosystem. Additionally, startups will gain access to 30 hours of tailor-made online educational resources provided by HyperNest’s top-tier mentors from organizations such as Chainlink, Coindesk, Sky (MakerDAO), Hacken, Gauntlet, and more. If you’re planning to build on the Chiliz Chain through the Greenhouse program or participate in Chiliz-sponsored hackathons, you’ll gain access to this bootcamp as an additional benefit, further enhancing your opportunities for success.

Participating startups will specifically align with Chiliz Chain’s strategic focus on sports engagement, fan tokens, and entertainment experiences. The program offers startups unique advantages, such as direct connections to Chiliz’s extensive network of global sports brands, established fan token partnerships, and the broader sports-oriented blockchain ecosystem.
