12 Projects Selected for Season 5 of Binance Labs Incubation Program

Validated Venture

Main Takeaways:

The Binance Labs Incubation Program is a chain-agnostic initiative that aims to empower innovative blockchain projects to shape the future of Web3. For the fifth and current season, we received over 900 applications, which makes it the program’s most contested iteration to date.

Through rigorous review of the applications, we selected 12 projects to participate this season, spanning infrastructure, zkDID, DeFi, tooling, security, gaming, and payment sectors.

Binance Labs, the venture capital arm and accelerator of Binance, has selected 12 top-performing projects for season 5 of its accelerator program. The new season officially kicked off on November 7.

The biannual and chain-agnostic Binance Labs Incubation Program offers a 8-week curriculum tailored to founder needs and enhanced with exclusive ecosystem resources, including but not limited to fireside chats with market leaders and an investment-focused demo day.

Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs, commented: “Binance Labs has always been actively looking for scalable and downturn-resilient projects that we believe are crucial to the growth of the Web3 industry. Our incubation program aims to empower early-stage Web3 founders and help them reach their full potential, regardless of market conditions.”

During the 8-week of incubation period (not including the holiday season), project founders will get access to:

Crafted courses on Web3 & entrepreneurship

1-on-1 mentoring sessions with industry experts

Fireside chats with market leaders and incubator alumni

Industry-wide demo day with investors

Continuous post-incubation support

From November 7 to 20, Binance Labs will also host in-person sessions for startups at the Paris business incubator Station F. As Station F is one of the places where global startups gather, our incubation projects will not only be able to interact with their fellow emerging market leaders, but also with various investors and global startups that are not limited to the web3 industry.

Throughout Binance’s two-week stint at Station F, there will be offline mentoring sessions for industry experts and incubation projects to get into deep discussions face-to-face.
