Kenyan-based digital assets capacity building and management platform, Crypsense Digital Group is among the first African-based Web3 startups to qualify for the Draper VeChain Web3 Accelerator Program. This is an international, 12-week accelerator program for high-growth blockchain companies.
The collaborative program provides the essential assistance for blockchain and Web3 entrepreneurs to receive all the industry mentoring and support required to scale their significant solutions internationally.
The team pitched together with some of the top 15 globally fastest growing Web3 startups in Crypto, DeFi, NFTs, Metaverse & GameFi to a panel of expert judges from the Web3 industry from VeChain, Draper University, and Cream.
Alice Anangi, Co-founder & CEO of Crypsense Digital Group conveyed her delight by saying,
“This is an amazing opportunity to accelerate Web3 adoption in Africa through the program and partnerships. We have so much untapped talent and potential within our continent in blockchain and Web3. I am excited for Africa and I can’t wait to see where this opportunity takes us.”
She added, “We understand the potential that blockchain has in solving some of the challenges that are facing Africa and we believe that we can use our disruptive nature as a continent to create value for ourselves through the adoption of the technology.”
Crypsense Digital Group is a brainchild of The Africa Blockchain Center, one of the startups at Adanian Labs, a venture studio that aims to establish, nurture, and scale 300 impact-driven tech startups across Africa. The Africa Blockchain Center intends to demystify blockchain technology and establish platforms where businesses may learn, conduct R&D, launch blockchain solutions, and use blockchain as a service for a variety of applications across industries and sectors.
The CEO of Adanian Labs John Kamara said, “We are extremely proud to see such progress with our startups. We pride ourselves in providing the right environment, tools, and resources to support startups and help them build scalable solutions. Crypsense Digital Group is very timely as Africa is exploring the potential for smart technologies in support of its 4IR efforts.”
