About Tachyon

Founded in 2017 by ConsenSys Mesh, Tachyon was the first dedicated Web3 accelerator . Through Tachyon, ConsenSys Mesh has helped nearly one hundred companies raise funds and launch. 

Consensys Mesh connects the people, projects and protocols building Web3.

Founded in 2015 by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, Mesh has four core components: investment, incubation, research & development, and acceleration.

We support a 5,000+ network of founders and builders and incubated projects such as Gitcoin, Consensys Software Inc, Gnosis, and Tribute Labs, in addition to the 190+ projects we have invested in throughout our history.
