Most Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pi Ventures, and how does its $100,000,000 incentive relate to my app?
Pi Ventures is a venture capital initiative associated with the Pi Network.
It is a $100,000,000 fund (dollars, pi or a mix of both) to invest in promising startups and developers building applications that integrate with and enhance the Pi ecosystem.
If your app can demonstrate a clear use case for Pi cryptocurrency, leverage the Pi platform, and contribute to the growth and utility of the Pi Network, it could be eligible for funding and support from this incentive.
We partner up with promising apps to maximize its chances of receiving VC funding by building with specific strategies, implementations and executions.
What kind of apps is Pi Ventures looking to fund? Are they only interested in specific categories?
Pi Ventures is looking for apps that drive real-world utility and contribute to the Pi ecosystem’s growth.
While they are open to a wide range of sectors, including AI, fintech, e-commerce, social apps, and more, the key is a strong integration with the Pi Network.
This could involve using Pi as a currency within your app, leveraging Pi’s user base, or building innovative solutions on the Pi blockchain.
They are particularly interested in projects that can demonstrate how they will bring tangible value and everyday use cases to Pi users (Pioneers).
What stage of development does my app need to be in to apply for Pi Ventures funding? Do I need a fully built product?
Pi Network Ventures has indicated an intention to invest in companies ranging from early-stage startups to more established ventures (potentially up to Series B).
This means they are open to considering apps at various stages. While a fully built and market-tested product is advantageous, a strong concept with a clear development roadmap, a prototype, and a well-articulated vision for Pi integration can also be considered, especially for seed or early-stage funding. The key is to demonstrate high potential and a clear plan to execute.
