HyperNest is a specialized DeFi accelerator DAO that grows early-stage DeFi startups with the top 1% resources, investors, and mentors — including experts from Aave, Bancor, Lido, Summer.fi, Beefy Finance, Sushi Swap, Chainlink, and more — to become the top 1% elites of the industry. Our support extends well beyond our structured programs.

Founded in 2021, HyperNest began as an invite-only accelerator, meticulously curating protocols, partners, investors, and mentors to assemble an elite support network for founder communities. As we entered our second year, we expanded our reach, opening applications to unearth hidden gems in the DeFi space while maintaining our stringent selection process to ensure only the best resources for our startups.

Our hall of fame includes esteemed partners like Polygon, Consensys, FD Capital, Google, Q, Ankr, Covalent, Colony, Nethermind, Founder Heads, Protofire, DeFi Safety and Hubspot, alongside a galaxy of top-tier mentors. HyperNest operates on a decentralized voting system, driven by a reputation-first DAO mechanism. This approach ensures that power and decision-making are aligned with expertise and contributions in specific areas, leading to the selection of the most promising DeFi proposals.

At HyperNest, we empower DeFi companies to leverage our comprehensive 12-week accelerator program, covering critical areas such as fundraising, tokenomics, growth, marketing, technology, security, liquidity attraction and retention, go-to-market strategies, financial modeling for decentralized protocols, legal aspects, and more. Our program is designed for immersive group sessions and tailored individual training. We take pride in being the an accelerator DAO that continues to support founders even after program completion, a testament to our commitment to long-term success in the DeFi ecosystem.
