Flashback Joins the Post-Web Program by Outlier Ventures and Midnight
We’re excited to announce that Flashback has been selected to join the Post-Web Program, a new accelerator launched by Outlier Ventures in collaboration with Midnight.
This partnership represents more than just support — it’s a leap forward in how Flashback can shape the future of multi-cloud and DePIN.
What Is the Post-Web Program?
The Post-Web Program is Outlier Ventures’ latest initiative to support founders building at the intersection of Web3, infrastructure, privacy, and scalability.
Unlike traditional accelerators, it’s designed specifically for projects that go beyond the limits of today’s internet, building the next era of open, resilient, and user-centric networks. The program provides:
- Mentorship from world-class experts in distributed systems, crypto-economics, and go-to-market.
- Technical support for integration with next-gen platforms like Midnight.
- Ecosystem access to Outlier’s global network of investors, enterprises, and partners.
In short, it’s a launchpad for projects like Flashback that aim to federate infrastructure across centralized and decentralized clouds.
Who Is Outlier Ventures?
Outlier Ventures is one of the leading Web3 accelerators in the world. Since 2014, they’ve backed over 300 startups, including some of the biggest names in DePIN, AI, and open infrastructure.
They are known for spotting early trends — from NFTs to DeFi to decentralized infrastructure — and nurturing founders who want to build category-defining companies.
For Flashback, Outlier brings not just capital and mentorship, but also a strong track record in network effects, token design, and ecosystem building.
Who Is Midnight?
Midnight is a new blockchain network built with privacy and compliance at its core. Developed with deep ties to the Cardano ecosystem, Midnight combines:
- Zero-knowledge technology to enable private, secure transactions.
- Compliance-friendly architecture to ensure enterprises can operate safely.
- Scalability designed for real-world infrastructure and application workloads.
For Flashback, Midnight offers a way to bring confidentiality and trust into multi-cloud orchestration, especially as we extend into enterprise-grade DePIN integrations.
How the Program Helps Flashback
By joining the Post-Web Program, Flashback gains:
- Accelerated product validation: Guidance on refining our roadmap from storage → compute → full-stack cloud federation.
- Token design expertise: Structuring $FLASH incentives in a way that aligns providers, validators, and consumers.
- Enterprise entry points: Connecting with partners who demand hybrid (centralized + decentralized) infrastructure.
- Visibility: Positioning Flashback at the forefront of the next wave of DePIN and federated cloud solutions.
This isn’t just acceleration — it’s alignment with some of the sharpest minds shaping the decentralized future.
New Horizons with Midnight
The partnership with Midnight opens powerful new opportunities for Flashback:
- Confidential smart contracts: Enabling SLA agreements between consumers and providers that preserve business privacy while still being verifiable.
- Enterprise-grade DePIN: Giving large organizations confidence to adopt decentralized providers alongside AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- Cross-cloud compliance: Allowing policies and guardrails to extend across centralized and decentralized infrastructure with regulatory soundness.
- Trusted orchestration: Bridge Nodes and Validators backed by Midnight’s privacy tech, ensuring data flows securely across the federated cloud.
Together, Flashback and Midnight are bringing the missing privacy layer to multi-cloud federation, a critical step toward enterprise adoption.
The Road Ahead
Flashback’s mission has always been to federate the cloud: to give developers and enterprises a neutral integration layer across hyperscalers and DePIN.
By joining the Post-Web Program with Outlier Ventures, and by integrating Midnight’s breakthrough privacy technology, we’re accelerating that vision.
The next horizon for Flashback isn’t just about connecting providers. It’s about doing so securely, privately, and at enterprise scale.
Stay tuned, the federated cloud is about to get a lot more powerful.
