"Pi Network Launches $100 Million Venture Fund: A New Chapter for the Web3 Ecosystem

*
On May 14, 2025, the Pi Foundation announced the launch of Pi Network Ventures—a venture capital fund with a scale of $100 million and a corresponding amount of PI tokens, aimed at supporting startups that build innovative solutions based on the Pi network. The fund will collaborate with projects at various stages—from seed stage to Series B financing—and will focus on Web3, fintech, generative artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and payment integration.
*
The main advantage is that Pi Network Ventures participants have access to "live labs": more than 19 million KYC verified users in 200 countries. It's an opportunity not only to get funding, but also to test the product in a real-world environment right away, gather feedback, and grow your audience. For a start-up of this level, no other blockchain project offers such convenient and fast access to the global market.

The market's initial reaction to the announcement was mixed: despite the strategic depth of this initiative, the price of PI fell by more than 30% on the first day due to the "sell the news" effect and the lack of listing on major exchanges. However, the fundamental significance of the fund—creating an ecosystem of close interaction among developers, users, and financial resources—remains unshaken.
*
In the long run, the success of Pi Network Ventures will depend on two factors: the speed and quality of the formation of the startup portfolio, and the transparency of the fund in front of investors and the community. If the first batch of projects shows stable growth in user and transaction activity, and the Pi team demonstrates genuine investments and support, then this initiative will become a starting point, after which PI will transform from an interesting mobile currency into a complete Web3 platform with a sustainable economy and a strong international community.
