"We focus on consumer investments that have commercial viability today - things that people want and will pay for today."
"Historical examples are Lightning and payments. People don't really use them. We want them to be used, and on the margins they are, but people still have trouble getting into Bitcoin - meaning turning their local fiat currency into BTC, then custodying it in a safe way, thinking about inheritance and all those examples,"
"Google is integrating USDC stablecoins into their new AI programs - we know it will make sense for economic activity in a digital world, especially with AI, to be using satoshis instead because it has a better design surface and more programmability."
Early Riders launched The Stables accelerator in Texas Hill Country to support Bitcoin startups worldwide. The program offers 2–5 BTC in funding, a four-week residency, and access to Bitcoin developers and operators. The program targets market-ready solutions in financial services and technology with commercial viability and consumer demand. The accelerator prioritizes secure custody, inheritance planning, fiat-to-BTC conversions, and lending products that leverage multi-institution custody, bit bonds, and real estate debt facilities. The program emphasizes regions where fiat-to-Bitcoin on-ramps are critical, including Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Five top candidates are selected for a demo day with limited partners and advisors.
