EASY Residence Program to Launch in Silicon Valley
EASY Residence program’s first cohort will kick off on June 2, 2025, in Silicon Valley, USA, providing selected teams with full accommodation, meals, and startup funding, allowing founders to focus on product development and company growth without being hindered by other distractions. This cohort’s nurturing focus areas include but are not limited to: high-performance blockchain, cross-chain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), AI autonomous systems, AI infrastructure and robotic control systems, as well as decentralized scientific research (DeSci) in the medical field, AI diagnostic technologies, and patient data security management systems.
The program will conclude on August 10, at which time a large Demo Day event will be held as a showcase of results, inviting top international investors to assist founders in further securing funding and market exposure.
YZi Labs, led by former Binance Labs head Ella Zhang, stated: “The EASY Residence program is not just an ordinary accelerator; it is a dedicated partner platform designed for the top 1% of founders, allowing them to wholeheartedly create truly impactful products. We are honored to have many successful entrepreneurs join our mentorship lineup to cultivate the next generation of leaders.”
The roster of mentors participating in the program is impressive, including Binance co-founders Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and He Yi, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang, and Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal among other heavyweight figures. The mentors will provide expertise and market insights to help teams address real operational challenges.
YZi Labs emphasizes that this program not only offers short-term support but is also committed to establishing a global entrepreneurial community and long-term partnerships to assist founders in ongoing growth, mutual exchange, and community contribution. YZi Labs stated: “True innovation takes time. We believe that as long as we provide top entrepreneurs with sufficient trust, time, and resources, they will surely create products and services that truly change society.”
The application for the inaugural program is now open, with the registration deadline set for May 21, 2025, at 23:59 (GMT-7). The first batch will recruit 10 to 20 of the most promising startup teams globally. Subsequent EASY Residence programs will also roll out in international cities such as Singapore and Dubai, further expanding its global influence.
