Sui Hydropower Fellowship
Past
TBA - TBA
The Sui Hydropower Fellowship is the flagship cohort-based accelerator program designed to support early-stage teams building on the Sui blockchain. Operating through discrete intensive cohorts, the fellowship compresses the timeline from idea to launch by providing hands-on technical support, go-to-market guidance, and direct access to the Sui Foundation. Rather than a fixed monetary grant pool, the program focuses on strategic mentorship, ecosystem partnerships, and culminating VC introductions during exclusive Demo Days. With 30 teams successfully completing the program across its first three cohorts, the fellowship targets critical verticals including agentic finance, RWA infrastructure, consumer social, and conversational UX.
Sui - Sui Hydropower Fellowship Overview
How to join Sui - Sui Hydropower Fellowship?
The Sui Hydropower Fellowship selects early-stage builders through highly competitive application windows announced via the Sui Network official channels. Prospective teams must submit their project details through a designated application portal, demonstrating strong potential in targeted verticals such as agentic finance, RWA infrastructure, consumer social, and conversational UX. If selected, participants enter a structured 3-month (or 8-week) intensive sprint featuring curated sessions on tokenomics, legal fundamentals, and branding, alongside direct engineering support from Mysten Labs.
The program has successfully graduated 30 teams across its first three cohorts, emphasizing non-monetary, high-impact resource allocation over fixed token pools. Standout projects from the latest cohort, such as Asseto - which has already achieved over $500 million in tokenized assets - culminate their fellowship by pitching at an exclusive Demo Day, securing warm introductions to Tier-1 venture capitalists to fuel their post-accelerator growth.
