YZi Labs startup plan revamped and upgraded, TOKEN2049 Dubai Summit becomes the global debut stage

Recently, YZi Labs announced a major upgrade to its flagship startup acceleration program EASY Residency. After two seasons of fixed cohorts, the third season has officially shifted to a year-round rolling admission model, breaking traditional time constraints and allowing high-quality startup teams to join this global innovation ecosystem at any time.

Funding Program Upgrade, Up to $500,000 Support for Early-Stage Startups

EASY Residency offers selected projects up to $500,000 in investment support, including $150,000 in SAFE direct investment and an additional $350,000 under an unlimited SAFE framework. This combined financing approach aims to provide sufficient funding security for early-stage projects. In addition to funding, selected teams will also receive office space, housing stipends, and deep resource support from strategic partners such as Amazon AWS, significantly reducing startup costs.

Long-term Startup Centers in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area

To better serve global entrepreneurs, YZi Labs has established long-term startup centers in two of the world’s leading innovation hubs—New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. These locations not only gather numerous investment institutions and talent resources but also offer startup teams a closer-to-market and more ecosystem-integrated innovative environment.

TOKEN2049 Dubai Summit Debuts as Demo Day, Three Global Roadshows Throughout the Year

The most anticipated part of the annual plan is the Demo Day schedule. YZi Labs will host three global Demo Days throughout the year, with the first taking place during the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai in April, providing an excellent platform for visibility. TOKEN2049, as the most influential international event in the global Web3 and crypto asset industry, offers selected projects direct access to global investors and partners.

Focus on Web3, AI, and Biotechnology

The third season will focus on three cutting-edge fields: Web3, AI, and biotechnology. Specific areas include on-chain trading markets, stablecoins and payment infrastructure, tokenization of real-world assets, enterprise AI agents, robotics technology, and new drug development. These sectors represent the most promising areas of innovation today.

Industry Top Mentors Including Binance and Ethereum Founders

The mentor and speaker lineup for the accelerator is highly prestigious, featuring industry leaders such as Binance co-founders Zhao Changpeng and He Yi, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, and other top figures. These top mentors will provide strategic guidance and industry insights to startup teams. For entrepreneurs aiming to break through in Web3 and AI, this opportunity is truly invaluable.
