What Is Allianz Accelerator
The Startups coming to NFT Paris

‍

Without further ado, let's get into the piece!

What Is Allianz Accelerator?

Allianz Accelerator is a solution designed to help startups scale aggressively in a 5-month long program, which hopefully can propel the startups forward and accelerate towards bigger goals.

The Allianz Accelerator is a branch out of Allianz France, the Europe-based financial services group best known for insurance provision. While Allianz has an international presence that can be leveraged, this Accelerator program is especially based in France, in Nice. The Allianz Accelerator is a startup-first accelerator that focus on the entrepreneurs to help the startups to scale.

So, how exactly do they help startups?

‍

It all starts with bringing the team together - to the HQ of Allianz Accelerator, the Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice, France. Startups can relocate their team to this wonderful multi-purpose stadium, but it is not mandatory.

From here, the Allianz Accelerator, focusing on fundraising, business development and international, connects these startups with best of breed business partners, experts, investors, and more; a truly valuable experience for employees and a great advantage for the up-and-coming startups.

This program lasts a good 5 months, and in that short period it has created immense value for countless startups. Here are but a few numbers which may shock you:

- More than 60 startup partners in 7 years of operation

- Raised over 700 million Euros, and startups valued at over €3Bn today

- In pretty much every innovative sector, including mobility, A.I., cybersecurity, deeptech, sustainability, and of course Web3

‍

Did you know that Ledger, the leading crypto hardware brand, also joined the Allianz Accelerator? With a fantastic track record of propelling startups to success, it's no wonder why there are many applicants to the program.

The Startups Coming To NFT Paris

One other thing that Allianz Accelerator helps startups with is connecting them to key events in the industry, just like NFT Paris!

So, here's a quick word on the 4 startups that will be joining us at the event.

Accelerator Startups

LEGAPASS

LEGAPASS is an ultra-secure platform where you can store all your credentials to make sure your family can recover your crypto and digital assets.

They secure the "digital inheritance" of your crypto and NFTs, which allows you or your beneficiaries to obtain your private keys in case you lose them. In a sense, it's like your digital Will.

Your crypto wallets are protected by military-grade encryption. Your data is replicated across multiple sites in physical vaults and the decryption keys are never exposed to a network.

Based on a patented process, LEGAPASS guarantees the conservation and restitution in complete confidentiality under the control of a bailiff.

‍

WorkAdventure

WorkAdventure is building open and decentralized metaverses by proposing a 'metaverse generator’.

They are an open platform to create Virtual Offices & Metaverses. Their technology allows metaverse to be light, performant & accessible anywhere from any device in the World.

‍

Technology must gather people, not create more frontiers.

‍

Some info about the startup:

2k - 3k DAU
3k stars on GitHub
5k participants in a Poker tournament with +100 NFTs communities
Secured access with NFTs / smart contracts
GDPR compliant & UE self-hosted
Low-electricity consumption

‍

OpenGem

OpenGem is the standard for secure NFTs.

OpenGem provides tools for users and developers to secure ownership of digital assets through NFTs and the gem score, a ranking from 0 to 100 that evaluate the level of ownership NFT collections offer. They also advise leading organizations by performing audits on their products.

The startup is trying to enhance the persistence and decentralization of digital assets. OpenGem has since audited quite a few notable collections, including BAYC, Sorare, Veefriends, and more.

‍

Guest Startup

My Lovely Planet

My Lovely Planet is a Web3 mobile game that unites nature lovers to protect the planet. The game My Lovely Planet is already available on App Store and Play Store!

‍

The concept is simple: everything you do in the game has a positive impact in the real world.

For instance, when you plant trees in the game, they plant trees in the real world.

‍

When a player cleans up trash on their island, they clean up trash in the oceans, and when a player protects animals on their island, they protect biodiversity in the real world.

‍

MLP's goal is to create a community of 100 million players to act together by 2030 to:

Plant 1 billion trees
Clean up 1 million tons of ocean waste
Protect biodiversity (40k endangered species)

‍

With My Lovely Planet, you can play an ultra-fun game, meet and challenge thousands of other players all around the world, and have a personal and collective impact in protecting our planet.

‍

They are part of Ubisoft Entrepreneurs Lab @Station F, and they have won the “Unity for Humanity” award.

‍

Some milestones:

Founded by Clément Le Bras (ex lilo.org)
Launched in December 2022
Already 5k active players
350k subscribers on TikTok, with an amazing and engaged community
600k€ already raised during Private Sale
