According to a press release, Pi Network has announced a fresh $100 million venture capital (VC) fund to support innovative startups in the ecosystem. Per the statement, the fund will feature assets in both USD and Pi Coins, propping up projects pursuing real-world Pi utility.
The new $100M fund will be disbursed via the Pi Network Ventures, a newly minted entity created by the Pi Foundation. Per the announcement, the Pi Coins forming a portion of the funds stem from the Pi Foundation’s reserves.
Pi Network Ventures will invest in Pi-focused companies in the early stage, including Series B and subsequent rounds. Furthermore, the Pi fund will expand support beyond blockchain-native startups with an eye on AI and e-commerce startups.
“This initiative gives creators the resources they need to build solutions that solve real problems while reinforcing the value of the Pi ecosystem,” said Nicolas Kokkalis.
The announcement comes at the start of Consensus 2025, with the project expected to make a major appearance at the event.
