Binance Labs Launches Eight Blockchain Projects Out of Stealth
Binance Labs, the venture arm of Binance, graduated our first batch of blockchain projects from the Binance Labs Incubation Program. The 10-week program culminated in an invite-only BUIDLers Day, where each of the eight teams pitched to more than 150 of Silicon Valley’s top investors.
The Binance Labs Incubation Program is an onsite program designed to help entrepreneurs deliver products with clear product-market fit. Since its launch in October 2018, the Binance Labs incubator has grown into the strongest network of early-stage blockchain developer teams.
More than 500 projects applied for Season 1 of the Incubation Program within the span of four weeks. Following an intensive review process which required consensus among all members of the Binance Labs team, eight projects were selected, each of which received $500,000 in seed funding and direct access to a vast range of resources, industry leaders and mentors through the Binance Labs network.
Over the course of the San Francisco program, seven of the eight projects have shipped working products and brought users on board, and three of those teams have signed on paying customers. All projects will have the opportunity to pitch onstage at the Binance Conference, held January 21-22, 2019 in Singapore, as part of the Binance Blockchain Week.
The eight projects who have been building in stealth and launched at BUIDLers Day:
Akio Labs: The easiest way to get insights from blockchain data.
Deaux: Teespring for prediction markets. Allows anyone in the world to spin up a prediction market for their own target audience.
Decore: Gusto for crypto native companies. Provides a full-stack software suite to make it super easy to run crypto native companies.
Injective: The New Standard for Decentralized Exchange. Eliminates front-running and allows for trustless liquidity sharing.
Nym: Building a secure, private future for the internet.
