Colosseum, an independent organization focused on developing the Solana ecosystem, has successfully closed a $60 million funding round for its first fund. This capital will go towards supporting the accelerator program that aims to attract more developers and startups to the Solana blockchain platform. 
Furthermore, it will also be used for pre-seed investments in startups accepted into Colosseum’s Accelerator program. Selected projects will receive a $250,000 investment and access to Solana’s network of mentors and venture funds.

Clay Robbins, co-founder of Colosseum, stated, “We started Colosseum to enable founders to compete and realize their product vision without the geographic restrictions of traditional accelerator models. It’s evident that there is a market demand for novel, specialized venture products in crypto.” 
Since January 2024 up until now, Colosseum has led Solana’s hackathons, formerly run by the Solana Foundation. For example, since 2020, over sixty thousand individuals have participated in at least eight previous series. 
These hackathons have produced four thousand products and raised six hundred million dollars in venture capital. 
During the five-week competition of its inaugural event under their leadership, when Colosseum held its first-ever global hackathon in collaboration with 95 countries all over the world, they were able to attract over 1,000 submissions from builders.&nbsp; 
The impact of these initiatives on the Solana ecosystem has been significant. As of January 2024, the platform reported more than 2,500 monthly active developers on open-source repositories.&nbsp; 
Additionally, a majority of venture-backed startups in the Solana ecosystem originated from these hackathons, collectively raising over $650 million in venture capital.
