Base Accelerator Batch 004 Opens with $100K Investment

The signal here is less the cheque size than the pipeline: Base is institutionalising a recurring funnel for early teams, which matters for founders choosing where to build and for the broader L2 contest over developer mindshare. It mainly affects pre-seed builders and the smaller funds that would otherwise anchor those rounds. Whether the cohort produces projects that stay native to Base, rather than treating it as a launchpad before multichain expansion, is the open question worth watching.
