Solana Labs has officially opened the application process for the sixth cohort of its incubator program. The company announced the recruitment on November 2, 2026, setting a deadline for submissions on December 4, 2026. The selection process operates on a rolling basis, meaning early applicants have a competitive advantage.
The program is scheduled to begin in March 2027 and will take place in New York City over a three-month period. Solana Labs intends to select between 4 and 6 teams to participate. This limited intake is designed to ensure that each project receives individualized attention and direct support from the company's staff.
Participants will receive a relocation stipend and gain access to mentorship from industry leaders. The incubator is open to three categories of applicants: existing Solana-based teams, Web3 projects looking to migrate to the Solana ecosystem, and Web2 companies interested in integrating Solana technology into their operations.
The program has a history of supporting diverse sectors, including AI, stablecoin development, and decentralized physical infrastructure networks, known as DePIN. Notable alumni of the incubator include projects such as Sanctum and Marinade. According to company data, 7 out of 18 early alumni have successfully raised over $5 million.
