Our Cryptocurrency Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 program launched this week in New York City, and today I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join the cohort.

Over the next 8 weeks, they will gain first-hand experience from top cryptocurrency founders, receive guidance and support from the a16z crypto investment and operations teams, and connect with each other and the broader a16z network.

CSX Fall 2024 Venture Board companies will come to New York from 11 different countries: Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Japan, Poland, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States (including Puerto Rico). They are building at every layer of the crypto stack, including AI, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer applications such as photo sharing and mapping.
