According to a company tweet on Monday, the Ordinals Accelerator is a 4-month program for builders to raise funding, connect with mentors, & be guided by the best in the industry.

Successful applicants can benefit from the expert advice and support from industry leaders including DeGods and Dust Labs’ Kevin DeGods, Isabel Foxen Duke – an Ordinals expert, Charles Spears – an Ordinals Expert, and Dillon Healy of Bitcoin Magazine, among others.

The fund is offering $70,000 in cash and $30,000 in waived program fees in exchange for 2-3% equity. The “program fee covers the program, staff, coaches, EIRs & entry to The BTC conference next year,” Bitcoin Frontier Fund wrote in a tweet.

The program is also offering prospective applicants an opportunity to vet and receive feedback from investors through its pitch deck, which includes among other resources, training pitches, tailored coaching, and weekly practice.
