Submitting to Colosseum was step one. The builders who win long-term are the ones who know what comes next, and move fast while the momentum is still live. Josip Volarević has been through it. Alliance accelerator graduate, two-time Colosseum hackathon winner, and mentor to teams that have collectively raised over $7M. He knows what accelerators are actually looking for, what kills most applications before they're even read, and how to position a project coming out of a hackathon for the best possible shot at getting in. This session is a practical walkthrough - the active accelerators worth applying to right now, how each one evaluates projects, and exactly what you should be doing in the next two weeks to maximise your chances. Currently open for applications: Alliance (deadline May 27), Solana Incubator by Solana Labs (deadline June 5), MonkeFoundry by MonkeDAO, Colosseum, and YC. If you shipped something during this cycle and want to know what to do with it, this is the session. If you're in KL, we will have a watch party at Jeju Bingsu from 1-3pm: https://share.google/rULgf7TEml6TH4w92 So do pop by if you're free, and join the call together!
