Frequently asked questions
How does Binance source proprietary deal flow?
Binance Labs sources deals through its exchange's listing pipeline, Launchpad incubator programs, and direct founder referrals from its ecosystem. The firm also runs accelerator programs in partnership with regional blockchain hubs like Lugano's Plan ₿ and Hong Kong's Cyberport.
Does Binance participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Binance Labs primarily does direct equity investments and token purchases, but also commits to select venture funds as limited partners. Its investments are mostly in blockchain and crypto-native companies, with a focus on early-stage startups.
Which sectors does Binance actively avoid?
Binance publicly avoids investing in non-blockchain traditional finance firms, real estate, or industrial assets. Its focus is strictly on crypto infrastructure, DeFi, Web3 applications, and enabling technologies like zero-knowledge proofs.
