The accelerator protocol
Venture-scale returns, fractionalized
Drive tokenizes cohort-style accelerator equity. Each program runs 12 weeks with 8–12 companies; Growth DOTs represent a pooled claim on the cohort's collective equity, diluting individual bets while preserving upside. Backers participate from $500. Operators — founders, GTM leads, domain mentors — contribute work for co-ownership. When a portfolio company exits, proceeds distribute automatically to DOT holders on the cap table.

How Drive works
Mentor-backed
Every cohort runs with operators-in-residence from the XDRIP network — GTM, product, capital, legal.
Seed capital bundled
Companies receive a standard check on admission; Growth DOTs fund the check and the program.
GTM toolkit
Shared commercial infrastructure — CRM, brand, legal templates, hiring pipeline — available day one.
Demo day marketplace
End-of-program demo day exposes the cohort to follow-on investors; DOT holders get first allocation.
Network effects
Alumni retain access to mentors, capital and cross-cohort partnerships for three years post-program.
Governance DOT
Holders vote on cohort selection, follow-on capital and exit thresholds each quarter.
