Digital Currency Council associates with 500 Startups Accelerator

The Digital Currency Council (DCC) has recently announced it will collaborate with 500 Startups subsequent to an investment from the prominent accelerator and Bitcoin Opportunity Corp.

Backed by PayPal and Google alumni, the programme will bring all DCC team members living under the same roof and for duration of four months they will attempt to complete a series of rigorous business exercises.

Founder and CEO David Berger, while in conversation with Upstart's Michael del Castillo, said he expects the programme would help transform the DCC from a certification and education start-up into a leading technology company.

"We aren't just building a business, we're laying the groundwork for a new profession. To me, success will be when hundreds of thousands of DCC members are living fulfilling careers as digital currency professionals", Berger told CoinDesk.
