The rule on existing code
They back: Early Avalanche projects that can ship and show progress to a community committee. Early stage builders on Avalanche, chosen by a committee of Avalanche insiders and community members. Backs founders before traction, existing projects OK. Launched Jul 1, 2026 with about $1.15M from the Avalanche Foundation, per press. I did not find the official Team1 application page in this run, so verify the apply link. Retro9000 and Codebase did not show any 2026 open round.
