Founders building businesses utilising web3 and or AI technology can now take advantage of a joint initiative from Block Dojo, an early-stage Venture Builder, and Spreckley, an independent B2B PR firm.
Under the partnership terms, Spreckley will participate in Block Dojo’s intensive 12-week acceleration programme for startups, offering training and guidance on effective public relations, corporate communications and why they matter. The training will see startups curate their messaging, build their PR toolkit, and get a head start on the competition through first-class media engagement, all of which will help them secure customers.
To date, Block Dojo has invested in and built 83 startups that have provided the best solutions to real-world problems through powerful technology, particularly scalable blockchain and artificial intelligence. The Venture Builder has invested in and supported over 150 Founders and is a Finalist for Accelerator of the Year at the prestigious UK Business Angels Association Awards 2025.
Commenting on the partnership, Matthias De Cnuydt-Hope, Programme Director at Block Dojo said: “We provide a programme that delivers real results, where Founders leave with an actual product and customers lined up. We help them validate their idea, match them up with experienced mentors, help them build their MVP and financial model and, finally, prepare them to successfully run their first pilot programme.”
“Fundamental to this journey is understanding how best to communicate to the market and the media, and this partnership will address this issue head-on.”
Richard Merrin, CEO, Spreckley, added: “We are offering not only a training programme in the basics of PR for its cohort programme, but also helping to steer organisations through the early stages of their startup journey.
“Block Dojo has an impressive record, and we are looking forward to being able to further accelerate these startups’ growth with this relationship. We are confident that our guidance will help their cohorts jump to the front of the queue for strategic partnerships, and naturally, we look forward to offering support at every level of growth for these innovative companies.”

Its network is designed to help ambitious startup founders reach the next level of growth through powerful storytelling and lead-generating digital marketing.
