The RWA Base Camp, in collaboration with the Celo ecosystem, will provide tailored support to startups building the infrastructure, applications, and products necessary for mainstream adoption of tokenized real-world assets across various industries. The 12-week virtual accelerator program will offer workshops, mentorship sessions, and access to industry experts from Outlier Ventures, the Celo community, and Defactor.
Celo Foundation’s team of experts will provide customized support to startups, focusing on financial assets, infrastructure, intangible assets, and physical assets. With over 1 million monthly active users and a diverse range of stablecoins and real-world use cases, the Celo ecosystem brings invaluable expertise to the program.
Defactor, a leading player in RWA tokenization, will offer mentorship and conduct specialized workshops to equip startups with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in the RWA ecosystem. Additionally, each participating team will receive free access to Defactor’s RWA toolkit for one year.
Katie Lundie, Outlier Ventures’ RWA Accelerator Lead, said “At Outlier Ventures, we recognise the huge potential tokenised Real World Assets will have and are committed to supporting new innovators facilitating the integration of this technology into the traditional economy.
“We are thrilled to bring on board two incredible partners with support from the Celo ecosystem and Defactor. We have already seen a huge amount of interest in the program and with these partners on board we’ll be able to give the founders an ideal platform to set them up for success during the program and beyond.”

“We’re excited to partner with Outlier Ventures, an industry leader, on the launch of this accelerator program led by the Celo community and ecosystem.
