Support and Guidance For Startups Using the IOTA Tangle

Startups can apply for the program via the Nova Website. Once accepted, successful teams will have access to funding and mentorship geared towards developing innovative new business models using IOTA technology.

With the support of both organizations, startups will have a foundation to realize their visions of implementing Distributed Ledger Technology to solve real life problems. Entrepreneurs will also have access to IOTA’s test lab to build and test their solutions on the Tangle.

David Sønstebø, co-founder and co-chair at IOTA, explained how the partnership will help transform ideas into sustainable business models.

The Tangle network overcomes many of the limitations and inefficiencies of blockchain technology, and as such, has huge potential to transform machine to machine transactions that are at the core of IoT. Our partnership with Nova is about enabling that innovation, by helping initial ideas come to fruition in the form of viable, scalable and sustainable business models.

The Head of Partnership at Nova, Andrew Dean explained that many startups fail due to common mistakes made in the initial stages of formation. With statistics placing a 90% failure rate for startups the partnership with IOTA aims at giving brilliant business ideas a chance to become successful while utilizing the IOTA Tangle.
