Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

For startups ready to grow, fundraise, and scale.

Quantum Leap Labs is a Web3 Venture Studio, incubator, and accelerator for visionary founders building decentralized applications—primarily on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

We provide hands-on mentorship, full-stack technical guidance, strategic advisory, investor and grant connections, and access to a vibrant global community of builders. Our programs are designed to support both early-stage innovators and fast-scaling startups ready to bring their MVP to market—and beyond.

What sets us apart is our tailored approach: we adapt our support to each project’s unique needs, identifying and strengthening areas such as technical architecture, marketing strategy, or go-to-market execution.

We work with startups and developers building:

  • Decentralized applications (dApps)

  • Protocols and developer tools

  • Web3 infrastructure projects

  • Platforms solving real-world problems using blockchain

  • Projects aligned with the vision of an open, decentralized internet

Whether you’re a hackathon builder, a solo developer, or a startup team, Quantum Leap Labs is designed to elevate your journey with ICP.

The selection process includes three stages:

1. Introductory Call

We get to know your team, your vision and strategy, and you’ll present a demo or proof-of-concept (POC). We explain how ICP works, why it’s powerful, and the support services Quantum Leap Labs offers. If aligned, we’ll request the following:

  • Pitch Deck: Value proposition, market, business model, and team.

  • MVP Architecture: Tech diagram outlining ICP integration.

  • GitHub Repository: For code review (NDA can be signed if needed).

  • User Journey: Walkthrough of user experience.

  • Project Milestones: Roadmap with development phases and KPIs.

  • Go to Market Strategy: User acquisition and growth plans.

2. Technical Interview

Our engineers meet your technical leads to evaluate your architecture, ICP readiness, and integration plan.

3. Final Interview

We review the Terms & Conditions, discuss next steps, introduce the QLL team, and officially onboard your project into the program.

Quantum Leap Labs is the official accelerator of ICP HUB Canada & US, which is part of the ICP Hubs Network—a global initiative managed by the Global Adoption team at the DFINITY Foundation, the primary contributor to the Internet Computer Protocol.

While Quantum Leap Labs does not provide direct funding, our relationship with ICP HUB Canada & US and DFINITY enables us to:

  • Offer strategic support and ecosystem visibility

  • Help teams apply for the multiple Developer Grants

  • Provide access to expert engineers from the ICP ecosystem, potentially who work at the foundation ( if you are working on something which needs protocol-level support ).

  • Deliver full-stack technical onboarding and integration help

  • Promote incubated projects through official ICP channels

This strategic alignment ensures our startups receive ecosystem-wide backing and credibility.

Projects selected for the accelerator or Innovator-in-Residence program gain access to a comprehensive support system, including:

  • Biweekly 1-on-1 mentorship (business, product, and technical)

  • Full-stack integration support on ICP (canisters smart contracts design, architecture)

  • Growth and community-building strategies tailored to your target audience

  • Fundraising and grant application guidance (including access to the $25K DFINITY Developer Grant)

  • Demo Day opportunities with ICP ecosystem investors and strategic partners

Additionally, we collaborate with third-party partners to provide premium social media and PR services.
Please note: these external services are quoted separately and fall outside the scope of our standard accelerator offerings.

Quantum Leap Labs offers founder-friendly and flexible terms:

  • No upfront fees

  • We may take a percentage of the token supply and success fees upon TGE (Token Generation Event) via SNS (Service Nervous System), or through traditional equity agreements, depending on your fundraising structure
