Crypto For Good Fund for Emerging Startups ($100K)

Mercy Corps Ventures has launched the fourth cohort of the Crypto for Good Fund. After three rounds of C4G, with over 500 applicants, 15+ launched pilots and 40,000+ users reached, we are excited to return with a fourth edition of the Fund.

Our objective for the C4G has not changed: It is about funding real world web3 solutions to drive global financial inclusion and climate resilience across the Global South. Our goal is to build out the evidence base to prove the scalability of blockchain-enabled solutions in making a positive impact in emerging markets.

Focus of the Crypto for Good Fund

This edition of the Fund will be focused on the next frontier of crypto innovation. We’re looking for builders who are pushing the boundaries to improve the lives and livelihoods of underserved users across the Global South.

Priority themes include, but are not limited to:

ReFi / Climate innovation — how can we promote and restore the environment alongside financial gains

Broader access — how can we onboard more people to financial freedom?

Programmable money — how can we create efficiencies by leveraging smart contracts?

Locally-adapted solutions — how can we tailor web3 solutions to local contexts?

Humanitarian aid delivery — how can we better serve the 299 million people in need of humanitarian aid?

Mercy Corps Ventures (MCV) is looking for startups and organizations operating in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Pacific Islands, and Western Balkans that are innovatively applying web3 and blockchain technology to build solutions for underserved populations.

The Fund will provide equity-free grants of up to $100,000 to 10 eligible startups. Alongside capital, MCV will also provide mentorship, impact measurement advisory, access to partnership opportunities, knowledge exchange, and brand exposure.
