Thomas Kang, Vice President, Store Nº8, says: “Decentralised commerce has the potential to unlock new value in the global commerce ecosystem, so we are excited to partner with Outlier Ventures to support and engage with entrepreneurs building at the forefront of this technology on their path to scale.”
Startups will receive support from mentors in areas like building and refining their product roadmap, community building, token economy and launches, fundraising and pitching, and governance.
Jamie Burke, CEO and Founder, Outlier Ventures, comments: “We think dCommerce represents a huge opportunity to unbundle e-commerce into its constituent parts, and into a more decentralised and composable stack of protocols to create a more efficient, equitable and improved experience for retailers and consumers from CRM to last mile delivery.”
“There is clearly no better partner than Store Nº8, as Walmart’s incubation arm, so we are thrilled to launch this accelerator program together.”
