What Sets Codebase Apart

Narrative Coaching (Founder Favorite):

We treat storytelling like product work. Through hands-on pitch sessions and expert feedback, we help you craft a compelling narrative that drives conviction and opens doors.

Structured Momentum, Zero Dilution:

From hackathons to Innovation House, every Codebase program is fast, focused, and founder-friendly—with $50K in non-dilutive funding for incubator teams.

Execution-First, Web3-Native:

Every touchpoint is built for builders in Web3. Get practical help on token design, validator strategy, UX, and more from Ava Labs engineers and expert mentors.

A Cohort of Real Builders:

We keep it small so the support goes deep. You'll build alongside peers who are serious, scrappy, and solving real problems—not chasing hype.

Guidance from Builders Who've Done It:

Get real advice from people who've built real things. Our mentors are hands-on operators, not just advisors—they've scaled protocols, raised rounds, and shipped code. They're here to help you avoid mistakes, move faster, and think bigger.
