Pi Network Ventures will support early-stage to Series B companies that integrate Pi into products, services, or business processes. Investments will focus on sectors beyond crypto, including AI, fintech, ecommerce, embedded payments, and consumer applications.Unlike typical blockchain venture funds, Pi Network Ventures plans to operate with Silicon Valley-style sourcing, selection, and vetting processes.

The $100M is not guaranteed to be fully deployed and will be invested over time depending on the quality and number of applicants.This marks a major development step as Pi seeks broader real-world integration and decentralized utility expansion.The post Pi Network to Deploy 10% of PI Supply for $100 Million Startup Fund appeared first on BeInCrypto.
