ColosseumOrg, a new accelerator and fund for builders in the Solana ecosystem, has been launched. It aims to connect, enable, and fund builders globally. The accelerator emphasizes hackathons and preseed investing. It has received support from various investors and is seen as a platform for the best founders in the ecosystem. The platform is described as the 'Olympus for the best founders' and a 'product hunt for Solana'. The accelerator's focus is on accelerating crypto's impact on the world, starting from the earliest stages. The platform is also highlighted as a merit-based arena for global talent search in the Solana ecosystem.
Colosseum’s hackathon & accelerator for winners are both online. Why? Crypto needs a merit-based arena where founders globally compete to show their ability to ship, iterate & pitch products that have the potential to create huge markets.

What a week so far! "We're obsessed to help builders succeed" I feel is such an understatement at @Aptos_Network . You see it all at the #AptosSummit - the approach, the commitment. It's not just all talk. And it's not your typical crypto conference. Here's why: https://t.co/qIJMr6BhZB
