The Fortify Labs edge
"Working with TZ APAC, the team behind Fortify Labs, has been an absolute privilege since day one. What stands out is their genuine helpfulness across a wide range of areas - marketing, legal, KOLs and even VC introductions.
I wholeheartedly recommend any startup—whether undecided about which chain to build on or exploring expansion to additional L2s—to consider building on Etherlink and working with the TZ APAC team.
The level of commitment you get at Fortify Labs is rare, and it makes all the difference."

“I joined Fortify Labs with just an idea. From that moment, it felt like a three-month hackathon where we refined, improved, and pushed things forward every week.
With the mentorship and feedback provided, we managed to transform the idea into 5050 - a funded and sustainable project. Having the talented Fortify Labs team behind me really helped me drive my vision. I highly recommend it for any project willing to expand and scale.”

“We joined Fortify Labs initially to get a deeper understanding to build out the Web3 side of our products. Fortify Labs is the longest startup program to attend and that has been helpful as we have enough time to tweak things. Other accelerators I’ve been to are relatively short, so the amount we can cover in two to three months is very limited. Fortify Labs is the most active startup program in terms of help provided.
We also learnt a lot about making narratives, and building the right stories for investors in Web3. The sessions on revising our pitch deck were very important and valuable.”
