Tiger Royalties and Investments Plc (“Tiger” or “the Company”), a pioneering investment vehicle dedicated to incubating technology and mining projects, has announced the launch of the Tiger Cohort, an AI Agent Accelerator Programme. This initiative, set to begin in April 2025, aims to foster AI-driven entrepreneurs focused on developing utility meme coins.
Leading the eight-week accelerator programme is Jonathan Bixby, CEO of Bixby Technology Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tiger. The programme will take place in London and is specifically designed to support and nurture entrepreneurs working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.
Understanding Utility Meme Coins
Utility meme coins represent a new wave of cryptocurrencies that go beyond speculative trading. These digital assets reflect the fiscal value of social movements and have a range of applications, such as facilitating transactions, granting access to exclusive communities, or powering decentralised platforms. Tiger’s accelerator programme seeks to explore the full potential of this emerging market, particularly as AI advances redefine its landscape.
Industry Leaders to Drive Innovation
Jonathan Bixby will co-lead the programme alongside Ben Schiller, Editor at CoinDesk, with a lineup of industry experts providing mentorship and strategic insights. Hosted by presenter Katie Pilbeam, the Tiger Cohort will see eight entrepreneurs participate in an intensive development journey, culminating in a competitive selection process. By the end of the programme, up to two entrepreneurs will each secure a £250,000 investment and gain ongoing strategic support to scale their ventures.
Application and Programme Details
The Tiger Cohort is set to commence on April 28, 2025, in London. AI developers and entrepreneurs with an interest in utility meme coins can apply through cohort.tigerinvests.com until midnight (GMT) on March 31, 2025.
A Vision for the Future
Commenting on the programme’s launch, Jonathan Bixby, Executive Director of Tiger, stated:
“AI is set to redefine the future of utility meme coins, and the intention of the Tiger Cohort is to bring together leading talent from both AI and crypto communities to further advance this emerging market ecosystem. Our initiative represents not just an opportunity for growth but also a chance for talented individuals to shape the future of decentralised platforms, whilst reinforcing
Tiger’s commitment to a wider strategy of identifying and supporting leading web3 projects.”
As AI technology continues to evolve, Tiger’s accelerator programme underscores the company’s dedication to pioneering new developments within the cryptocurrency and decentralised finance (DeFi) space. By nurturing innovative AI-driven utility meme coin projects, Tiger is setting the stage for a new era of blockchain-driven financial applications.
