Story Academy
Goal of the Program
The Story Academy is a builder program designed to support, mentor, and accelerate promising entrepreneurs and innovative projects building on Story. Core benefits include product insights, marketing know-how, office space in Palo Alto (CA), and investor network introductions matching the level of ambition and execution capability of each project. If you're a visionary builder already working on or planning to build a project on top of Story, we want to talk to you.
Due to increasing interest, the program will prioritize projects already launched on or actively integrating Story (quickstart guide). Acceptance into the program doesn't guarantee grants. In the rare cases where a grant is critical to the development of an MVP (minimum viable product), the amount ranges between $20k and $50k (maximum amount).
