Fast Track

Fast Track is the path from Flarehub proof-of-work to warm introductions with accelerators, grant programmes, and investors who focus on the Flare ecosystem.

Flarehub is not a VC. Instead, it acts as a scout and amplifier for teams that demonstrate sustained, high-leverage contribution.

Who Fast Track is for

  • Teams that have shipped on Flare through bounties, contracts, Instagrants, or Hacker Houses.
  • Builders with public artefacts, users, or integrations—not just slide decks.
  • Contributors with a proven track record of collaboration and delivery.

What Fast Track offers

  • Curated introductions to:
    • Ecosystem grant programmes (including the Flare Community Growth Grant and similar initiatives).
    • Partner accelerators and incubators.
    • Strategic investors with context on the Flare network.
  • Context packs that summarise your proof-of-work and Community GDP contribution.

Fast Track does not guarantee funding. It shortens the path between real work and serious conversations.

Eligibility signals

Expect criteria to evolve, but reviewers typically look for:

  • Proof-of-work
    • Shipped products, integrations, or tooling on Flare.
    • Repeated delivery across multiple scopes (bounties, contracts, Instagrants).
  • XP and stewardship
    • Strong XP history as documented in XP & Reputation.
    • Evidence of mentoring others, sharing playbooks, or coordinating teams.
  • Community GDP impact
    • Earnings from Flarehub programmes.
    • Demonstrable value created for users, sponsors, or the broader ecosystem.

How it works

  1. Nomination or application
    • Teams can apply through a Fast Track form, or be nominated by Stewards and programme leads.
  2. Review and packaging
    • A small committee reviews your proof-of-work, XP, and GDP impact.
    • If accepted, they prepare a concise brief for partners (what you built, why it matters, what you are raising or seeking).
  3. Introductions
    • Flarehub coordinates warm introductions to relevant programmes and investors.
    • Partners take it from there: they run their own processes and make independent decisions.
  4. Follow-up and tracking
    • Teams are encouraged to log follow-on grants or deals in the proof-of-work tracker.
    • These outcomes feed back into Community GDP metrics.

For partners

If you run an accelerator, grant programme, or fund:

  • Fast Track surfaces teams with:
    • Verified on-chain and off-chain proof-of-work.
    • Clear traction within the Flare ecosystem.
    • Context on technical stack and roadmap.
  • You set your own evaluation criteria and terms; Flarehub does not intermediate deals.

Disclaimers

  • Fast Track is a curation and introduction programme only; it is not an offer to sell or solicit securities.
  • Flarehub does not guarantee outcomes and does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice.
  • Partners remain fully responsible for their own due diligence and compliance.

Next steps

  • Teams: focus on shipping and documenting your work through Flarehub programmes; then apply once you can show a clear trajectory.
  • Stewards: nominate teams whose work you would personally back and that align with Flare’s long-term direction.
  • Partners: contact the Flarehub team if you want to receive Fast Track briefs or run joint calls.
