We're building the future of Web3 and the creator economy—and now, we're doing it with Google.

At New Social Theory (NST), we've always believed that the next generation of the internet shouldn't just be decentralized—it should be human. It should empower creators, reward participation, and put community back at the center of digital life.Today, we're taking a massive step toward making that vision a reality.We are incredibly proud to announce that NST has been officially accepted into the Google for Startups Program 2026—a prestigious global initiative that supports high-potential tech startups with resources, mentorship, and cloud infrastructure.

Why This Matters

For a young company like ours, this isn't just a badge of honor—it's a catalyst. The program offers far more than credits (though those certainly help). It opens the door to:

  • World-class technical mentorship from Google engineers and startup veterans
  • Strategic business resources to help us scale sustainably
  • Access to a global network of founders, investors, and industry leaders
  • Cutting-edge AI and cloud tools to accelerate our product development

In short: it gives us the fuel to move faster, build smarter, and think bigger.

What This Means for Our Vision

With Google's infrastructure and expertise behind us, we're now better positioned than ever to:

  • Accelerate our product roadmap
  • Scale our engineering team
  • Deliver a seamless, intuitive experience to our early adopters
  • Push the boundaries of what's possible with decentralized tech
