In a significant move to bolster the web3 ecosystem, HELLO Labs, the leading web3 entertainment and media company, and Brinc, a global leader in venture acceleration, announced a strategic partnership to discover, incubate, and amplify promising web3 startups.
This expanded collaboration, built on the success of a previous joint initiative in Singapore, provides founders with an unparalleled launchpad. Startups will gain access to Brinc’s over a decade of experience in scaling global businesses, combined with HELLO Labs’ powerful media engine, designed to bring visionary projects to a mass audience.
A key component of the program will see founders from the Brinc accelerator take the stage for a special Brinc Demo Day on Killer Whales LIVE. This event will give them a platform to present their projects directly to the “Whales”, a panel of seasoned investors and industry experts, as well as a global audience, replicating the high-stakes, high-reward format of the hit show.
The most promising three projects will then earn a coveted spot in Killer Whales Season 3, the web3 business reality show streaming on major platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime. This provides transformative exposure, industry credibility, and direct access to real investment opportunities through the HELLO Club investment network.
“This partnership with Brinc is a perfect synergy of acceleration and amplification,” said Sander Görtjes, Co-Founder & CEO of HELLO Labs.
“Brinc identifies and refines the most promising talent in the space, and we provide the global stage through Killer Whales to ensure they get the visibility and backing they deserve. Together, we are creating the definitive pathway for a web3 founder to go from concept to recognized market leader.”
“We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with HELLO Labs to empower the next wave of web3 innovation,” said Manav Gupta, Founder & CEO of Brinc.
“Our hands-on accelerator model equips founders with a strategic foundation for success. By integrating HELLO Labs’ massive media reach, our portfolio companies can reach new heights while connecting directly with the community and capital they need to thrive.”
The first cohort of startups under this new partnership will be announced in the coming months.
