Startupbootcamp was co-founded by Alex Farcet, Carsten Kolbek, Ruud Hendriks, and Patrick de Zeeuw, and has operated as a structured accelerator network since its founding.

Its AIvolution Accelerator targets AI and Web3 technologies, including blockchain, DAOs, and predictive analytics; in May 2024, the program announced its first cohort of 10 companies working across blockchain, NFT, and Bitcoin-related projects.
Startupbootcamp raised €2.325 million through a tokenized IPO in 2019, structured around an accelerator-program investment vehicle affiliated with Nxchange. Its publicly listed initiative SBC Bold 2 targets investment in 300 startups across 10 domains, including AI and Web3. In 2025, the organization undertook a global restructuring that paused new cohorts in its Amsterdam operation; A-ccelerator B.V., the entity that operated the Dutch programs, was declared bankrupt on November 24, 2025, though associated SPVs remained legally separate and the wider network continued operating.
