Arbitrum Foundation and Robinhood Chain Open Applications for the Second Phase Mentorship Program

On October 22, the Arbitrum Foundation announced the opening of applications for the second cohort of its mentorship program, jointly launched with Robinhood Chain. The program is targeted at early-stage teams that have already built products on Arbitrum One or Robinhood Chain, or are committed to developing on these networks. The application deadline is December 6, 2026. The program is expected to launch on January 5, 2027, run for 12 weeks, and host a Demo Day on March 25, 2027, though exact dates may be subject to change.

Selected teams will receive guidance on fundraising connections, product strategy, marketing, user growth, partnership development, and tokenomics. Outstanding teams can compete for a total prize pool of $100,000. The Demo Day is expected to feature participation from over 50 investors. Applicant teams are not required to have already deployed products on the relevant networks but must commit to building on Arbitrum One or Robinhood Chain.
