Alliance is a crypto and AI accelerator that has backed more than 300 startups since 2020, building an alumni network of over 700 founders. The programme is structured to move quickly: admitted founders receive immediate funding, with onboarding beginning in person in New York City before shifting to a longer, fully remote phase. The cycle culminates in a New York Demo Day, where cohort companies present to venture capitalists, angel investors, and industry specialists.
The firm operates on an explicitly founder-first model. Its culture emphasises direct, unvarnished feedback and reciprocal honesty, encouraging founders to surface challenges and uncertainties openly rather than defaulting to optimism. That selectivity extends to the community itself, which functions as an ongoing peer network across crypto and AI verticals.
