QUBIC Labs

Cohort II is a wrap.

Over 12 weeks, founders in the QUBIC Labs accelerator built, refined, pitched, learned, and grew.

This cohort gave us a window into the future of digital infrastructure—across AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity —and reflected the continued growth of the QUBIC ecosystem through new mentors, returning mentors, investor engagement, founder collaboration, and lasting relationships.

With 52 mentors, 7 pitch contests, and 20 investor judges, this was a practical, founder-first program built for real company-building.

Congrats to our Cohort II founders. More to come.

Today’s Cohort II sessions ✅

Filippo Pedrazzini (Kosuke) shared a practical framework for building with AI tools: clarity of intent, strong context, and iterative steps—plus why QA/testing will matter even more as coding gets faster.

Sean Sweeney (Chain Reaction Boston) shared the angel investor perspective—how early-stage groups approach seed/pre-seed, what the pitch + diligence process looks like, and how angels can help founders bridge toward VC.

Big thanks to both for the time and the founder-first Q&A. 🚀
