ApeCoin Updates

Hoorayyy! We just graduated from #mbAPE_U! Shoutout again to @OpenCampus_xyz @apecoin @ApeCoinUpdates for making this founder bootcamp possible and unforgettable! So if you’re building in Web3 and still figuring out how to survive before you scale, you need to know about this👇 A little background story. When I persuaded the @RealtyX_DAO founding team to acquire a @BoredApeYC NFTs, it wasn’t for the PFPs or games. We saw BAYC not just as art or community, but as infrastructure for merging Web3-native IP with Web2 consumer innovation. That’s why we were among the first to apply for the Made by Apes (MBA) license. So when mbAPE_U launched, we jumped in immediately. What is mbAPE_U? It’s a founder program for MBA license holders—curated by @OpenCampus_xyz + @apecoin DAO. Too many founders dive into Web3 with big ideas but shaky foundations. No clarity on runway. No alignment with co-founders. No clue if the product actually fits the market. mbAPE_U tackles all of that. What you’ll get from it includes: ✅ Clarity on your business fundamentals ✅ Peer support from fellow builders ✅ Mentorship from actual operators & investors ✅ A safe space to get real about your blind spots Our team has been through 2 big accelerators before. We learned tokenomics, deck writing, market making… Valuable? Yes. But those are later-stage problems. For most startups, it’s not “how do we raise $3M?” It’s “how long can we survive without it?” And “are we even building the right thing?” That’s what mbAPE_U focuses on—and that’s why it’s different. Final thought👇 More ecosystems need this. Not just for blue-chip NFTs, but for chains like @plumenetwork, @Aptos @0xMantle and beyond, to provide support for the dapp builders in their ecosystem. Huge thanks to the program leads @Tobi_Shotgun, Linh, and Brian, to our mentors @spyglasscircle, Renz, and Pavan, and to amazing fellow builders @blueeye_queen @nft_dreww @cryptosheep_eth @iwantyourvision @vishweb3 @pauser @apewhale @mindfullybored @Pequelord @badte_eth @MintyFreshVibe @mutantsbeer @allodev
