DUBAI, UAE, November 24th, 2023  
<a href="https://labs.binance.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Binance Labs</a>, in partnership with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bnbchain.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">BNB Chain</a>&nbsp;and CMC Labs, has introduced a new Founder Track to the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Accelerator Program. MVB, now in its 7th season, is an accelerator program jointly organized by Binance Labs and BNB Chain. The program was launched in 2021 with a focus on supporting builders and growing the BNB Chain ecosystem. This season, the organizers are welcoming&nbsp;<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/events/cmc-labs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">CMC Labs&nbsp;</a>to the MVB program as a strategic partner.  
The MVB program now consists of two tracks. The newly added Founder Track functions as a venture studio dedicated to incubating 100 innovative ideas that address real-world needs. This track sees projects receive backing from Binance Labs and support in deploying their ventures on BNB Chain. Since the program’s inception, the Startup Track has been integral in providing tailored support to early-stage startups. It provides a customized curriculum to assist Web3 startups on their journey toward long-term growth. Both the Founder Track and Startup Track run concurrently.  
The venture capital and incubation arm of Binance, Binance Labs recognizes that some of its most impactful ventures have resulted from in-depth, early-stage collaborations with entrepreneurial founders and builder teams. Early-stage incubations and investments have included&nbsp;<a href="https://celestia.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Celestia</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://injective.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Injective Labs</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://polygon.technology/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Polygon</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.safepal.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">SafePal</a>. The Founder Track seeks to identify builders who are interested in working on ideas that address real-world needs together with mentors from Binance Labs and BNB Chain.  
Establishing synergy between Binance Labs and BNB Chain, the Founder Track aims to replicate this kind of impact and unlock the full potential of BNB Chain. The track invites founders to propose business ideas or collaborate on existing initiatives with the Binance Labs investment team and BNB Chain contributors. The goal is to empower builders who aspire to succeed as founders, and support them in creating something transformative on BNB Chain and beyond.  
The Founder Track aims to support the strongest builders and is open to taking on up to 100 innovative collaborations throughout its duration across the MVB seasons. This season the areas of focus include: SocialFi, on-chain games, intent-centric dApps, digital identity and reputation, AI-powered dApps, massive yield-bearing assets (LSD, restaking and RWAs), security and privacy solutions, payment rails using BNB Chain, ZK coprocessors, and content and data platforms that utilzie&nbsp;<a href="https://greenfield.bnbchain.org/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">BNB Greenfield</a>.&nbsp;
