YZi Labs Launches Atlas Scout Program to Empower College Students in Web3, AI, and Biotech Investing

**March 24 — YZi Labs has officially launched its Atlas Scout program, recruiting 5–10 students from top global universities to lead a student-run venture capital fund.** The students will make investment decisions on behalf of YZi Labs’ investment team, backing early-stage startups in Web3, artificial intelligence (AI), and biotech. Initial members will be selected from leading universities worldwide, with a $1 million maximum fund pool to invest in high-conviction early-stage ventures. YZi Labs aims for the program to let university students shape the future VC ecosystem—supporting peer entrepreneurs while identifying cutting-edge founders. Atlas Scouts will screen projects and make investment calls with guidance from YZi Labs’ investment team. Participants also get additional resources: global travel budgets for key Web3, AI, and biotech industry conferences; access to YZi Labs’ ecosystem (including over 300 portfolio companies); and mentorship to gain resources, build networks, and boost investment skills.
