Building businesses is hard. Many brilliant ideas often don\u2019t make it through the first year - it\u2019s not their concept or even their people that\u2019s the problem, they\u2019re just not robust enough to survive. This is where accelerators come in - providing support when companies often need it most.

They play an important role for startups by providing expertise & resources to early-stage companies. These programs offer an environment where startups receive mentorship, gaining invaluable insights and guidance to navigate the challenges of business development.

Businesses in Bitcoin are no different. The need for Bitcoin-specific spaces is critical, and in 2021, Pleb Lab was founded to address this market. They created a hacker space and accelerator that supports early-stage Bitcoin startups and developers.
