Fabric Ventures, Animoca Brands, Coinbase and Founders Factory Announce UK Web3 Accelerator
Following the success of Fabric X France, where we backed 26 builders in France, we’re proud to announce the next chapter: the UK Web3 x AI Accelerator, London, in partnership with Coinbase, Animoca Brands and Founders Factory.
This multi-million-pound initiative is designed to supercharge a new wave of frontier tech startups in the UK, focused on Web3 and AI.
This accelerator brings founders not just capital, but deep technical support, token model expertise, and access to global Web3 networks.
After a few years during which Fabric had delivered ad hoc support for ‘entrepreneurs-in-residence’, Fabric X France was our first cohort based programme, delivered by Fabric and Frst and based in Paris, giving technical talent the freedom and backing to build with purpose. It sparked a wave of high-impact startups, many still shaping the crypto ecosystem today. With this next iteration, we have iterated the model: basing it right here in the UK; expanded its reach key partners Coinbase, Animoca Brands and Founders Factory and involving a larger range of follow-on funders.
At a moment when governments and institutions around the world are racing to adopt AI, digital assets, and decentralised infrastructure, the UK stands uniquely positioned to lead. With its deep talent pool, progressive regulation, and world-leading universities, this is the time to build.
“This Government’s AI Action Plan has been met with widespread optimism. However, this is only one piece of the puzzle. The convergence of AI, blockchain and Web3 plays to the UKs strengths in these disciplines — and fostering collaboration amongst our strong industries like financial services, advertising and pharmaceuticals is essential for the UK to maintain its leadership in the global digital race. This accelerator will play a key role in driving that progress.”
— Richard Muirhead, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Fabric Ventures
