The four core contributors to the accelerator are Lehman, Luke Xie and Hannah Shen from MIT, and Liang Wu from Harvard University.
The accelerator’s founding mentors include Blur and Blast founder Tieshun Roquerre (also known as “Pacman”), Monad Labs co-founders Keone Hon and Eunice Giarta, Manta co-founder Kenny Li, and Injective Labs business development leader Mirza Uddin.
