Foundership began supporting founders on a pro bono basis in 2020 before moving into structured coaching the following year. In February 2022, it narrowed its focus to Web3 and initiated registration in Singapore the month after. It described itself as a global emerging-technology accelerator serving early-stage startups across Web3, generative AI and adjacent sectors.
Foundership ran its 0xCamp program as a three-month, cohort-based accelerator for pre-seed Web3 startups, with Polygon serving as the acceleration partner for its fourth and fifth cohorts. Foundership previously partnered with XDC Network on a 90-day token-launch-readiness program through which startups could secure investments of up to $100,000, and formerly worked with Internet Computer Protocol / DFINITY Foundation to offer $50,000 grants per startup, as well as with the Cosmos ecosystem on hackathon initiatives. Its accelerator model distributed proceeds from startup equity or tokens among participating coaches.
Foundership later repositioned as a business studio encompassing venture, growth and investor studios alongside a community initiative. At closure, it had accelerated 58 startups from 14 countries and grown a community of more than 10,000 members across eight cohorts. Foundership's account has published 5,223 posts and has 5,179 followers as of September 2026. It has been mentioned by 46 accounts a total of 107 times.
