Exponential Science (ES) announced the launch of the ES Accelerator, a founder-focused programme powered by venture builder H-FARM — ranked among the Financial Times' Top 10 European Startup Hubs — and designed to support ambitious early-stage companies leveraging exponential technologies, including distributed ledger technology (DLT), artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, to build an equitable and open future.

The accelerator provides selected startups with an equity investment, mentorship from industry experts, and access to Exponential Science's extensive ecosystem of partners, academic institutions, and initiatives. This includes the MiCA Crypto Alliance, Nodiens, as well as Hedera and its wider ecosystem.

'The most transformative companies emerge at the intersection of breakthrough technology and urgent global needs,' said Nikhil Vadgama, Director at Exponential Science. 'The ES Accelerator is designed to identify and support those rare teams with the vision, expertise, and determination to build the infrastructure for the next phase of human progress.

The programme targets pre-seed and seed-stage companies led by teams of two or more founders with deep technical or domain expertise. Ideal candidates have demonstrated a working prototype or MVP, a clear global vision for solving significant problems, and preferably have or are developing proprietary intellectual property that strengthens long-term defensibility.
