India is almost invisible on the global Bitcoin stage. We export talent but don’t build visible Bitcoin brands.

This accelerator was an attempt to change that.

Here is what 9 teams built over 12 weeks with 0.1 BTC on the line.....

- You can buy a car, a house, and a cell phone with EMIs in India. Why not Bitcoin? 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 by https://www.swapso.io/

- UPI rules this country. Everyone has a barcode for payments; use Bitcoin at 65,000,000 merchants via 𝟮𝟱𝟲𝗗! https://app.256d.in

- Bitcoin lives online, so how do you build trust? 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲 Bitcoin brands get in front of 1.5B+ Indians, in person. https://www.bitcoincierge.in/

- The West dominates Bitcoin hardware; 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮 wants to challenge that. https://bitasha.com/

- Every Bitcoin wallet today looks like a Bitcoin wallet. 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 turned a feature phone into a Bitcoin wallet. https://www.cryobrick.com/

- 𝗘𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 is rethinking digital identity, so one breach doesn’t expose everything. https://epochshield.com

- UX and design are a big bottleneck in this ecosystem. 𝗛𝗢𝗗𝗟 solves that https://x.com/HODLdesign

- How do you track them: risk, seniority, coverage, etc., for Bitcoin credit products? 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 makes it easier to compare and understand what’s right for you. https://substack.com/@digantbhujbal

- Self-custody is still intimidating for most people. 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘆𝗢𝗦 helps individuals and businesses hold Bitcoin and think about inheritance https://treasuryos.netlify.app/

Huge shoutout to Bitshala hosting the pitch day and giving these teams a real stage.

If any of these teams resonate, please reach out. Capital, talent, or feedback all matter.
