WavesLab (the recently launched incubator in the Waves ecosystem) just announced the first four participants in its program: Simdaq, MyTrackNet, Viso and Likey.
There projects will receive support on several fronts, ranging from marketing & PR, to ICO & business advice. This will definitely boost the quality of these projects!
"Waves Lab, the incubator for new projects on the Waves platform, has announced a total budget of 1 million WAVES for future participants, as the first tranche of entrants launch their applications. The commitment, worth approximately $9 million even after the recent cryptocurrency sell-off across the board, places the Waves Lab on a long-term footing and ensures that the coming years will see many more promising entrants accepted to the programme.
To me this feels like an important step. Waves is setting up an ecosystem for projects based on Waves behind the scenes. It is a necessity as well in my opinion. Even though a lot of projects have advisors, those advisors are usually not there for the long run and some advisors offer their advice to multiple projects. That is just not realistic and probably they are in it for the money. Incubators like WavesLab are necessary for long-term support for projects and it is likely that other platforms will come up with a few of these as well.
Cheers!
