New Format Offers Builders Continuous Access to Funding, Mentorship, and Launch Support

BNB Chain has announced a major update to its flagship incubation program, the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Program. Co-hosted by YZi Labs and CMC Labs, the MVB Program will now accept rolling applications and announce selected projects on an ongoing basis, shifting away from its previous quarterly cohort model.

Builders can now apply anytime here and get selected without waiting for the next cohort cycle.

The update is aimed at making founder access more inclusive and removing time constraints, allowing early-stage Web3, AI, DeFi, and infrastructure startups to engage with the MVB program as soon as they are ready.

MVB 10 Begins in July, Season 9 Demo Day Set for April 24

While the MVB 10 cohort is officially set to begin in July 2025, selected teams will now be announced every two weeks, with immediate access to mentorship and ecosystem resources.

Meanwhile, MVB Season 9 Demo Day is scheduled for Thursday, April 24, where 16 teams will showcase their projects and pitch to top investors globally. Participants can tune in virtually from anywhere in the world.
